If Glock offers the mag, then that's what I want. But there is always a market for price only buyers.

Edit: didn't realize they're hawking these at $20. Good luck with that. These will eventually be on sale at Joe Bob's or something in 20 packs for $12 apiece to move them.

 

Their stuff over the years, just seems so overpriced and visually gaudy (tending towards the ugly), to me.
That mag is not metal lined, and unlikely to be better for the price than other polymer only mags that can be had for cheaper. I have no personal experience with it.

The fact that they also make and sell the tactical slide skin makes it hard for me to take them seriously.

 

Options are always good, but $23 (including shipping) a piece, nope. I know people poo poo on Magpul, but they have always been reliable for me. I've even had issues with Glock mags. Fab defense makes reliable stuff but it's pricey.

I don’t have any experience with this company but I tend to prefer Glock factory parts for most applications unless I’ve personally tried out the product myself. I have a whole box of mag capacity extenders that didn’t work for me as reliably as factory parts. One exception I’ve made are Wolff mag springs. Al haven’t yet had one fail on me. The eliminate the rattle of factory stock 21 and 26/27 mag springs and make use of factory +2s so much more reliable. Furthermore,they cured the early WML-induces stoppage problems in 22/23s before Glock got around to offering an improved spring.

 

The price does not seem offensive to me. If they are reliable and truly offer the extra capacity then they are a bargain. I think us Glock folks get spoiled by the prolific aftermarket offerings available, (some more $ and some less), and even by the pretty cheap factory mags. Switch to some other platforms and anything under $30 for a factory mag would be a dream come true, and good luck finding reliable aftermarket options.

 

Only time will tell on reliability. If it will prove to be Magpul quality or just another ETS.

My first thought was: I don't think I'd bother with aftermarket for just 1 extra round in a compact or full size. (For single stacks, 1 more round is worth experimenting, but 17+1 vs 18+1 doesn't seem worth it).

Those hesitations were assuming a MagGuts redesign to squeeze more in the same space. Once I saw the pictures of the extended length, it's a definite NO.

Questionable aftermarket brand that just adds more height to the gun? No thanks. You can have mine. Just stick a G17 mag in your G19. It's probably the same height and you get +2 rounds.

 

I’ll pass until such time as I see reviews by independent folks claiming that they are more reliable than Glock mags. For what it’s worth, I’ve used Magpul G17 mags for practice and competition for a few years now and they are as reliable as my Glock mags thus far. I no longer use them in matches though. I prefer the witness holes in the OEM mags for IDPA and action pistol.

 

I buy only Glock factory magazines. Although I do own 2 Magpul mags that I use just for the range.

 

Maybe as a range magazine they'd be fine, if nothing else they will train to clear malfunctions.

I'm always wary of these complete plastic mags, other than Magpul. Magpul's are cheap enough and reliable that I wouldn't even bother with any other variety.

The plastic mags can bulge, and then there's the ETS mags which are some of the worst aftermarket mags I have seen.

You can also get factory Glock mags for about $20 if you look, which for all intents and purposes sort of eliminates the need for el cheapo mags.

 

I've paid as little as $22-$23 per mag for factory 19 round Glock magazines.

They are very late to the party. And they might sell 1000 of them. Wont even recoup their investment. What a terrible business idea.

Whats with the huge gap between the bottom of the frame and the baseplate?

and from the looks of it, the Glock 19 round mags might be around the same height with 1 more round.

 

Personally, I prefer to stick with Glock mags just as I do for any firearms manufacturers. One exception has been Wilson Combat mags in my Springfield Loaded.

 

What’s the red piece sticking out of the barrel?

 

Safety stick. I have them in yellow.
