LEO trade in Glock mags on-line

[clfergus]

CDNN Sports online has used police trade in G19 mags, high caps for 11.99. I was wondering if anyone has ever purchased them and if it is a good deal. Were the springs weak etc?

Well this thread is a couple of weeks old but I will respond just to let you know, our department turned in all of our magazines because we have lights on our guns. Apparently, the lights throw off something and cause failures(ie FTEs and FTFs). I'm sure they perform well if you don't have a light on your gun, but I saw first hand that most people had problems when they had a light on. The new mags they gave us resulted in zero problems this go around.

It's because the mags you traded in had 10 coil springs and to run lights you need 11 coil.


That, however, is good enough information to let me know I don't want to buy the CDNN used mags. I can get springs for $5, but CDNN sells new mags for $16.99 (except shipping is $10 ) .

Cdnn seems to run "shipping sales" on the weekends. Just watch them.

Just an FYI, I've heard that some of the FTF and FTE's are caused by the lights being installed too tightly on the frame, to the point the it was squeezing on the slide and causing it to drag just a bit, hence the FTE and FTF.

I don't have any personal experience with that failure mode, so just relaying what I have heard. My G19 with light (Have used both TLR1 and TLR3 on it) hasn't had the problem.


Also, would be interested in the trade in mags for some good range mags.

Not to hijack the thread but - Can anyone purchase through CDNN or just dealers? I glanced at the catalog online but some of the verbage at the end make me wonder.

Non-dealers can order from CDNN. I've done it before and I'm just a regular guy.

You can buy the Asian mags for $5.99. I'd rather have those than the trade in's. I use them for range mags, but in hundreds of rounds fired, I haven't had an FTF, that includes a pair of the 31 rounds for the g17. While I'd use my factory mags for SD first, if all I had were the asians, I wouldn't worry about them.

You need to be a dealer for the discounts. Otherwise you pay the sticker price in the catalog.

Seems like a good deal for the range when you have to pay 40 bucks for a G19 magazine....I am going to look into this

I have purchased trade-in mags for both the G19 & G23 from CDNN and all performed flawlessly.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

I have bought many Glock mags from CDNN.. no troubles here either.

 

[treeman22]

I bought a LEO trade-in G17, and G19 high caps for my G19 from CDNN, and both work flawlessly.

I've bought many LEO marked G22 mags from CDNN in the past, all appeared to be lightly used with no visual scars of any sort and functioned flawlessly but I have a gen 2 G23 and can't use a gun mounted light. At the time they were $10 each (I also find the LEO markings to be a pretty cool novelty).
