That's interesting. Would be nice to be able to load longer for .40. My G35 has a deep chamber, but OAL limited by the OEM mags. Do you have an ETA on the 140mm .40 mags and able to share how many rounds they'll hold once available? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Can anyone get a caliper measurement of the distance from front to rear on the inside? Wondering how ammo OAL max would compare to stockers. Nominal is 1.190" They should all be there +- .002" That's interesting. Would be nice to be able to load longer for .40. My G35 has a deep chamber, but OAL limited by the OEM mags. Do you have an ETA on the 140mm .40 mags and able to share how many rounds they'll hold once available? Thanks for that measurement! I was interested in the option of loading longer also. Really liking the idea of these mags! |

Quoted: Got a chance to use my .40 cal ETS mags today with TTI basepads at a local USPSA match. The mags were all brand new, never been used until today. They were absolutely spotless with no dirt/debris inside at the start of the stage. I had one magazine that failed twice for the same thing. The follower/spring was binding up. You can see how much it was binding. This mag was ejected, hit the ground, picked up and handled and it was still stuck. http://i.imgur.com/KS6UAssl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DYUWtgul.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vLrMlZLl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vLrMlZLl.jpg View Quote |

I picked up a 31 rounder at my local gun store. It seems really nice I can't wait to try it out.

I was going to order a few more from Botach. If they take a month to get to me, so what it's a good price and free shipping, but I noticed the price went up to almost $20 a mag now...... Oh well.

These are great mags! Feed great, drop free and look good doing it.
Bought 2 for my 19 last week and bought 2 more today and one of the 33 rounders. I really like the base plates. I'd like to get some of those for my stock mags. |

I had two issues on Saturday at my IDPA match, where the G34 failed to shove a round fully into battery when the slide was dropped using the slide stop lever after performing a slide-lock reload. A partial slingshot of the slide remedied it both times.
I don't want to implicate the ETS mags I was using as the cause of the issue -- I suspect I was rushing and dropped the slide before the mag was fully seated -- but I just wanted to bring the topic up to see if anyone else has seen an increase in these types of misfeeds when using ETS mags. I've had it happen a couple of times over the years when using Glock mags, but having it happen twice in one day is not common for me. |

It's a stainless guide rod, with a 17lb ISMI spring, which is the same weight as stock. It happened to me one more time last night at IDPA practice, but it was in the middle of a stage, so I again don't know what caused it. I plan to get to the range this weekend for some target shooting, so I'll experiment with it to see if I can recreate the malfunction in a structured way -- there are too many variables going on when it happens in the middle of a stage to be able to pinpoint the cause. |

Ran these pretty hard this weekend. All the 22 rounders (loaded to 21 rds.) ran flawless all day. The one 31 rounder I brought (loaded to 30rds. of JHP) would not feed the first round on 3 different G19s, one of which was completely stock. Repeated with same effects multiple times. Loaded to 29 rounds it ran flawless. Going to run some FMJ on the top round next weekend to see if that helps the issue. Slide would not strip the first round from the mag when fully loaded to 30, tried releasing the slide by hand and using the slide release, same issue each way. I have a bunch more, going to bring them along to see if it's just the one mag. I load one under capacity to make them easier to lock in on a closed slide. Other than the one bug these are great range mags so far.

If it happens again please email customer service for a replacement. |

Used my 6 ETS G17 mag's today, ran fully loaded, several times each. Inserting fully loaded mag's on closed slide, EASY. Drop free, loaded or unloaded, YEP. Feed issues, NONE Glock needs to make a see thru receivers so I can take full advantage of my ETS mag's. |

Count me in as someone else who has bought your magazines and is going to buy more. I have been very pleased with them.

So I have a half dozen of these mags by now. The couple old AR mags work great, but the three 22 round Glock 17 mags all consistently fail to hold the slide open on empty the vast majority of the time.
The follower has very little spring tension when the bag is empty and when I remove the floorplate the plastic baseplate just under the floorplate doesn't even pop out enough to stand proud from the magazine body . The best that I can figure is that they used factory 17 round Glock 17 magazine springs in this 22 round mag by mistake..... Needless to say they're going to need more work before I will be confident carrying them on duty. The AR mag seems ready to go however. |

Please email customer service and we will get some new springs on the way to you. |
