The GF bought me a Glock 19 yesterday so I picked up a 33 round mag for shits and giggles. It's awesome. I'll have to get a bunch of these things for my truck and bug out bag.
Anybody else use the 33 round Glock mags? How many do you have? Who has a good price? I paid $39.99 + tax at my local shop. Are the Korean ones any good?
|
|
i have 6 of them, picked them up a year or so ago before the rush, for 24$
|
|
3 of them for my G19. Because having to reload while at the range sucks.
|
|
I got factory 33 rounders for like $20 (I think)
they seem to have quite a bit of play in my 34 though |

I have 3 Glock ones and 5 of the Korean ones. The Korean ones are usually $20 and have worked just as well for me so far.
|
|
Another question. Why do they only count up to 31 but hold 33 rounds?
|
|
I see a sub2000 in your future...
but then you will want a glock 17 too |

All the ones I've seen for sale locally go for around $55.
I don't own a Glock - I have no experience with the 33 round mags. I did buy four 26 round mags for the CZ, and I like having them. Before I got the shotgun, my CZ was my primary home defense weapon (apartments, so the AR might have been a tad much for my uses). I liked having the extra 12 rounds or so in the pistol at all times, so there is DEFINITELY a great reason (at least to me) for them. I don't like the Oly receiver that takes the 9mm Glock magazines, and if I could find one that took them I would have a 9mm AR and a Glock. |

I have 2, I never use them though.
my guns are for serious work, the 33 round mags are (to me) novelty toys. now if I had a G18, then maybe they would hold some use. |

I agree they are kind of a novelty. However, for the folks that don't want to keep a rifle in their vehicle I feel that a few 33 rounders in the truck would be a nice thing to have.

just bought one last week.
Are they supposed to have the metal baseplate? Mine goes from spring to floorplate. not sure if this is normal |

I found one for 29.99 at a local gun shop.
I use it in my glock 26. I also use a glock 19 barrel when I am not concealed carrying it. |
|
got 2 of them since 94, hate both of them, they just feel strange. now if i had a g=18 i would love the shit out of them, oh yea 15 bucks i believe i paid.

I have one made by Scherer. According to ARFCOM they are complete shit and don't work but mine has been flawless. It is a bitch to load if you don't have a mag loader.
|
|
I have 10. All loaded.
Why do I have 10? 'Cause fuck you, I wanted and have 10! And they're all loaded! _MaH |

I bought three a few years ago when I had a Sub2000. I've since sold that. I don't really use the 33 rders. They're fun and I suppose they have some place in a "tactical" sense. I have a 29 round .40 cal made by Scherer when I was into 40s; I haven't used it in a few years, but I don't remember ever having a problem with it; I would probably trade it for a 9mm mag if I had the opportunity.

I bought 2.
Then 4 more. Then 4 more...... Now I buy a couple every time I order a case or two of ammo from PSA (when they have a sale on mags). I'm not sure if I got the best prices but I got the best mags (GLOCK FACTORY ONLY). These are not novelties...they give you an SBR-like back up mag(s) for the console. Turn you Glock 9mm into a semi SBR that'll have you winning the arms race. Okay, in reality you can have your entire range day preloaded with a couple dozen of these beauties. Single stacker 1911 crowd...I understand, it ain't your thing. But this is arfcom...BUY THEM AND ENJOY THE 33 ROUNDS OF GLOCK ROCKIN FUN |

Ever notice that a 100 rounds of WWB 9mm fit exactly in to 3 mags (3X33=99) +1 in the pipe? They're great mags. I bought a few of the Kahn (ETA: Korean) mags. A little harder to load but they've worked well for me so far. |

I have 5 Kahn mags. I have run them all once through my sub 2k without issue. They are not as slick as factory but worth the price.
Get a upLuLa. It is a godsend. Get a sub2k too. |

shot one of my off this weekend as fast as I could pull the trigger, hand started to get tired at around round 25

Anyone use the .40 cal versions?
What brands are out there that are acceptable? I know Schrer makes one...who else? |

My nightstand. I have 4 more that are loaded and in a safe. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm33/passive101/DSC00553.jpg If that is for HD do yourself a favor and ditch the FMJ's. Go with winchester Ranger T series or Speer gold dot. |

What's a good price for a NIB Sub2000? I am not sure. They went from a ~$300 gun to almost a ~$500 gun around here. I got my nearly new one 6 months ago for $275 and I snapped it up when I saw it for that price. I am not sure I could get myself to pay more than $400 for a new one unless it wan an original sub9. |

I bought 10 of them (OE Glock) back when they $28 with free shipping.
They are fun to plink with. 100% flawless operation Good mags... |
|
I have six.
When Obama got elected I felt obligated to do some kind of panic buying. I have so many freaking magazines for everything I own that I had to think of something to buy. So, I got the 33 round Glock mags. I tried them, they worked OK. I have never used them again. I do have one loaded in my nightstand. I really don't know why other than that's where it ended up. |
|
I never use mine either.
Though having a couple in your glove compartment to compliment your daily CCW g19 is a great way to have SHTF fire power if you don't feel comfortable having a dedicated truck carbine. |
|
I'm hoping MSAR makes an AUG clone that takes these 33 rounders.....

This is exactly what I use mine for; one 33rd mag in each vehicle. Especially reassuring for travel out of state when bringing a long gun isn't practical. |
