Closing in on 8 k on my 10 21 round 9mm mags unfortunately now running into problems. It appears these mags have a shelf life. Finally went today to test them against oem mags. They are causing lots of malfunctions can barely get trough complete mags.

Have you made any calculations on how many rounds of .45 can fit in a G21 width, 140mm magazine? Quote HistoryQuoted:

I just got two ETS 22 round mags from Gun Mag Warehouse today. I don't even own a Glock yet. .45 mags are kinda important. My son has a 21. When are they hitting the market? Once the .40s are up and rolling we will turn our attention to the .45 We appreciate your business! Have you made any calculations on how many rounds of .45 can fit in a G21 width, 140mm magazine? That's a good question. In .40 a 140mm will hold 19. So in .45 I'm guessing 17. |

Any chance of Glock 20 10mm mags? I own 2 20s, a 40 and an AR lower that all take G20 mags. I'd love to have a huge bunch of 30+ round mags for them. Unless there are unforseen complications, we will do 10mm mags when we tackle the .45 |

We have a single g17 mag here with over 7k through it now. It still runs fine. Please message me so we can get you the new version of the 22 round spring. |

I got 18, but it was a hasty, uneducated guess on width and associated stagger of ammo. Either 17 or 18 is an improvement over 13 in the factory mags. Longer 10mm mags are of interest, too. I'm always thinking of justifications to get back into 10mm pistol shooting. I miss my Witness, mostly because it never missed anything!

That's a good question. In .40 a 140mm will hold 19. So in .45 I'm guessing 17. How tightly does the 19th round fit in the 140mm .40cal mags compared to the 22nd round in the 9mm mags? I'm wondering how easy it is to seat them on a closed slide when fully loaded to 19. With the 9mm mags I download them to 21 for competitions as they're really tight at 22 and might not seat when reloading quickly on the clock. If they're easily reloadable at 19 I'm going to get a ton of them. Would be great to have enough mags that I never need to load one during a whole match

Yes, all of the mags we are shipping and have shipped since late September have the new springs. That said, if you purchase from one of our dealers and it turns out to be older stock with the old spring (and that spring gives you trouble, it was a very small % of failures) we will replace the spring for you, so no need to worry. |

Have 5 ETS 9mm mags, 3-17's and 2-31's all recent manufacture bought from Aim. Loaded all to capacity and fired them back to back in NFA Glock mag lower. All fed and locked back. Loaded them all up again to capacity and fired back to back in newer gen4 gray frame 19 supressed, same drill and same results. Will buy more, especially in .40 and .45. |

Out of the 6 Glock 17 ETS mags that I have that I use for USPSA, I had to remove one out of the rotation yesterday.
At a match I was having FTF issues with it. Once I removed it, and replaced it with another ETS mag the issues went away. Not many rounds through that mag, maybe 600 rounds. |

I got two in the mail today to try out and noticed a few things. First was that they didn't load right. They didn't stagger the rounds properly and I was only able to fit 15 per for 17 round mags. I unloaded and reloaded and 17 went in fine.
Also they don't drop free when full. Is that because the sides bulge a bit? |

I've found that the 40S&W mags don't feed 357sig very well (FTF). I know, they aren't designed for 357sig, but my glock and SGMT 40S&W mags don't have any issues feeding 357sig. I think it is caused by thicker feed lips. I've probably only shot 500 rounds through my 2 ETS magazines and most of the issues are with cambering the first round. I can make them work reliably if I make sure the round is seated perfectly, but it's very finicky and would never work coming out of a mag pouch. Just thought people here would like to know. They work great feeding 40S&W obviously.
I don't know if anyone has reported this issue before but I thought I'd leave it here. |

anyone put a tti+5 on an ets17 I haven't tried an extension on the 9mm mags, but I did on the 16 round .40 ETS mags. I tried a TTI extension first and could only load up to when the follower reached the extension (16 or 17 rounds, I forget). I tried lightly sanding on the follower, but couldn't get it to work. I think I saw someone on here post that they could get a TTI extension to work though, so maybe if I experimented with different followers and extension I could've gotten it to work, but I gave up at that point and tried a Dawson extension. The Dawson worked and gives me 20 rounds reloadable vs. only 19 reloadable with OEM mags and the same extensions. |

I just got 4 of the 31rd 9mm magazines. They look nice, and the first one loaded just fine with 30 rounds of brass Freedom Munitions 9mm.
However, on the next magazine, I decided to load it with Tulammo 9mm. I loaded about 7 or 8 rounds, and then found the rounds binding in the magazine body, sticking the follower in place. Has anyone else had this problem? I proceeded to load the magazine with more brass ammunition with no issue. |

There is no doubt that steel rounds have a lot more friction but tulammo is the only brand we've had complaints about. We also have a bunch of customs that run it with no problems. Break the mags in and let us know if you continue to experience problems. We appreciate your business! |
