I have a bunch of G17 and G19 KCI mags I dedicate strictly to range use. No problems. I'd get a few if you find 'em cheap.

I haven't had any to speak of. They don't work well with OEM Glock loaders, but are great for general range use. I would not use them for self defense or carry.

I OWN TWO OF THEM,  THEY FEED FINE, BUT MINE CAN ONLY HOLD ABOUT 10 OF THE 15 ROUNDS.  THEY DROP FREE JUST FINE TOO.
YOU CAN NOT USE A SPEED LOADER WITH THEM. MINE DON'T HOLD THE SLIDE OPEN AFTER THE LAST ROUND. BUT IF YOU PUT AN EMPTY MAG. IN AND PULL THE SLIDE BACK IT STAYS OPEN, I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT IS.

I HAVE CHANGED OUT THE SPRINGS AND PUT GLOCK SPRINGS IN THEM BUT HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO TEST THEM OUT.  

I DID NOTICE THAT THE FACTORY GLOCK SPRING PLATE HAS A LIP AROUND SO THE SPRING WON'T SLIP AND THE KCI'S DON'T,
AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME NOT BE ABLE TO PUT MORE ROUNDS IN.


ALL IN ALL GREAT MAGS FOR RANGE USE.

It's harder than hell to load unless you have a uplulu. Even then it takes some muscle to get in the last few rounds. No issues shooting with them.

Mine work well. However, I would never trust them for anything but the range. Factory stuff only for the defense of my life.
