Once I get to 11-13 bullets loaded into my G19 mag I get a rattling sound for some reason. Any ideas? Mags are brand new

Perfectly normal... Slap bottom of mag when seated in gun if it bugs you.

Or smack the back of the mag against the palm of your hand when it starts to rattle. Either way, NBD.

Thanks just wanted to make sure

With mag. in Glock , vigorously thrust the Glock into your testicles and the rattle will "null -n- void !.......:shocked:

Smacking back of mag on palm or other surface and/or bottom mag same thing. Plus, it's fairly normal and not something to be worried about.

 

[dbcooper]

you have to put the bullets in a cartridge first, then slip em into the clip thingy

Mine do the same. It might not be a "problem", but it isn't exactly stealthy, either.

Only one of the magazines I own does this, it's a 13 rd mag for a G21 and you're right; not exactly stealthy!

This always happens when I put 9mm in my .45 magazines. :/

Mine does it also and I hate it, not good in a emergency personnel defense situation,cant believe Glock would have allowed this with as many law agencys that use them.
What does smacking it do ? Make you feel better ? seat the spring or what .

This happens to my M&P40 mags with jhp's, nothing solves it so i just ignore it.

Is the rattling gonna throw your shot off? Didnt think so. Ignore it or buy new mags. Or even try what had been suggested.

This has been a classic issue over the years. Here is why it happens in some Glock mags:

The cartridges in the lower part of the mag have their bases flat against the mag back, so they are riding in a nose-DOWN attitude. The cartridge at the feed lips is riding at a nose-UP attitude. At.some point as the cartridge rises in the mag, it rotates from the down to the up attitude. If a cartridge is resting EXACTLY at that transition point, the nose can flop up and down as the mag is shaken. This flopping causes that rattle. It happens frequently in some mags, and never in others. It just depends on tiny contour differences between inner mag surfaces.

Early Glock cutaway pictures falsely showed the mag.carrying all the cartridges horizontal. Newer cutaways now show the different cartridge angles within the mag.

I have the same issue, the mag works fine. But, I (unlike the previous comments) do still think its a problem not only is it annoying to hear, Its also giving away that you're carrying.
