I purchased some used glock 22 magazines and expected to get gen 3 magazines that will be used in a gen 3 glock 22 with an after market lone wolf barrel and a glock slide.
When looking at the magazines I see three of them are cut for the mag latch on both sides and the followers are black as in a Gen 4. These followers are stamped 40. The other magazine is likely a gen 3 and follower is different in that the protruding lip of the follower is thinner. I can not read any thing on the follower and it may be worn away but mag body is stamped 40.
All magazines will lock back the slide. To be safe I will likely get a new follower for the g3 and likely install a new spring.
question: Were there different 40 magazine followers?
I will mark the used mags with new colored floor plates.
This G22 is meant to be carried on my little estate for self defense to include up to black bear and will replace the 9 mm pistol that I had been carrying. Bears have become quite numerous of late and I have a fruit orchard so I and my dogs might have a run in with one. They have been seen adjacent to my property.
