OE is obviously the best choice for reliable function.

Practice mags are whatever you can buy cheap - but you accept the risk by completing the order.

 

Yea these are just to have a few extra when I go to the range.

 

They seem to work OK but I don't think that they'e metal lined. But I would't trust anything but a Glock OEM magazine to defend my life with and even if you only intend to use them for "Range" use, You never know when an aftermarket magazine might be the only one that's in the gun when it comes time for serious business.

**** happens and it can happen any time, anywhere.

 

I bought five or six Magpul magazines for range training. They cost two thirds of the price of a Glock magazine. I have yet to have one malfunction and since they're range and training magazines they get dropped on the ground, they get kicked, they get stepped on and as I said I've yet to have one malfunction.

They're also guaranteed by Magpul

 

Yea they are much cheaper- I'll get a few to try.

 

I've got ten 17 rounders that have about 600 rounds through the lot of them. Zero failures to speak of in any gun I've used them in.

 

You can purchase Glock OEM mags for about $20, sometimes less

Why cheap out?

 

This and go to the pawn shops a buy used mags.

 

I've used Magpul and ETS as aftermarket mags. I use them at the range, a lot. Stock Glock mags are run at the range one time and then used for daily carry.

Use the aftermarket mags to train with and beat the hell out of them. Step on one and render it unusable? Throw it in the trash.

 

Never heard of a Magpul mag for a Glock breaking.
I have used them extensively.

 

Never had any issues with magpul mags either in glocks or shadow systems guns. That said I still only carry glock oem mags. But for range use, buy the pmags.

 

I like Magpul products in general but mags for Glock ?
Genuine Glock mags are so excellent and so inexpensive that I'm surprised Magpul even tried for some marketshare.
Some shooters use them but I don't have a single one in the house.
Now the Polymer80 mag with its steel liner is a pretty dang good counterfeit Glock mag.....I have a few.

Genuine Glock mags for the win.

 

Not only try but succeed at 50% less than the cost of a Glock OEM.

 

I have several thousand rounds (4,500 - 5,000) through a handful of Magpul Glock 19 15 round mags; in various Glock 19s and various Shadow Systems MR918s. 100% reliability.

I have also used the Magpul Glock 26 12 round mags in my Gen 3 grip reduced 26, my dad's Gen 4 26 and a friend's Gen 5 26 (early version). Again 100% reliability. Not as many rounds but easily 1,500 or so.

Get a few (they are cheap enough) and try them out for yourself.

 

I have several, I can usually get them for 9-11$ locally. It would not bother me any to use as a carry mag if needed at this point, they’ve never given me a hint of an issue.

Started with a single G19 size to test, maybe 3 years ago. It has been used in multiple guns (~700rds), has never been cleaned or cared for, and has never had a single issue. I always leave it at full capacity when storing, and the spring hasn’t taken any kind of “set” or lost any of its function.

 

Have worked like a charm for me for years. My home defense 19 is loaded with a magpul 17 rounder.

 

I have a couple thousand rounds through Magpul mags and have never had an issue with them.

 

My philosophy is OEM is the way to go. Although I do have 2 Magpul magazines that I bought because they were so cheap at the time. I only use the Magpul mags at the range and they work fine. For carry I always use Glock magazines.

 

Glock mags are so cheap and so available, I don't see why bothering with anyone else's. At a GSSF match, they are $10.

 

Glock for the win. Magpuls can have some hiccups as can ETS’s, but can be cheaper for the range. Glock magazines tent to last. My Magpuls tend to see more outside wear/nicks/chips.

 

I like the Magpul Glock-26 twelve round mags for carry.

Before adopting them for my 26, I spent a year running Magpuls exclusively in the Glock 26 and 19 and never had any issues.

 

I use Magpul in my Gen 3, Gen 4 and PSA Dagger pistols without issue. The one time I tried using one in my issued G45 I kept having malfunctions. Put them back in my older Gen pistols or dagger and no issues.

 

I have one Magpul G17 mag. It works, but I don't use it other than at the range. Apparently they don't like steel cased ammo.

 

Never had an issue or problem with Magpul magazines….

 

I prefer OEM for carry, but Magpuls work

 

I've got 4ea 20 rounders for my MicroRoni and gun games... Haven't had a hiccup yet!

Not sure I could conceal these so they are strictly Range Mags...

CCW purposes run only Glock OEM mags... It's the only way to be sure.

 

I have a Gen 2 G22 w/9mm conversion. I use OEM mags exclusively for the .40, Magpul exclusively for the 9mm. I have had ZERO issues with the Magpul magazines, to the point that I hardly ever run the gun in .40 anymore.

I have trusted Magpul AR magazines with my life before, and my experience with their Glock mags leads me to believe I can do the same with them.

 

I have a hand full of MagPul mags that I use for practice and I was using them in matches as well. I’ve had them for four years or so. They get dumped on the ground (sand and gravel) and they have been as reliable as OEM mags. I don’t use them for self defense and I have stopped using them in matches because of their lack of witness holes.
They work great. Shop around, I bought mine for $9.99.
