Mag choices for a Glock?

This company is selling Glock mags as well.

No one makes better glock mags than glock. They also get much cheaper than $30 each if you wait for sales or hunt around.

$16 before shipping one month ago. Out of stock but these deals pop up fairly often: https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/c6kbik/magazine_g17_gen_4_17rd_mags_1569ea_shipping_tax/.

I completely echo this. I got a bunch for $18 a piece with free shipping after tax. Honestly the $5 or so bucks I might save isn't worth the hassle for me.

Perhaps if I was doing high speed mag changes every day I would mark some of them as dedicated practice mags, to not wear out the carry mags, but there is something to be said for training with what you carry. I don't have to think twice, if it fits, its good to go and no mistakes.

I use factory Glock for the most part. I have some Sherer stock mags around the safe also.

All mine say Glock. No problems.

For range fun, practice, or competition I like to use KCI mags with a Wilson Combat extra power spring. I got the KCI's mags that are metal lined for $7 and Wilson Combat sells the extra power springs for $2. When you install the superior spring, you will also want to remove any excess flashing from the inside of the KCI mag. After that, you end up with a halfway decent practice mag for $9.

With the flashing removed and the superior spring, they run great for me...but I still don't use them for carry. I'm not worried about a magazine related malfunction here since my life is not on the line.

It's Glock mags only when I carry. That is when every ounce of reliability counts.

I own a bunch of CZs so when I buy mags for my Glocks, I pleasantly surprised at how cheap factory mags are. No need to go aftermarket when you can often find the factory stuff for about $20 if you pay attention to sales.

Natchez has glock mags on sale plus 10% off. Looks like 33 round 9mms are $26.99 and 15 or 17 rounders $17.99 plus shipping. Not bad...

I run the pmags in my G19, they work perfect in terms of operational usage. However I dropped one and it blew the base plate off (never happened with a glock factory mag). It went back together and it still works fine.

Only thing that stinks is the availability for aftermarket base plates on the pmag mags, and they don't have individual bullet indicators like the factory mags.

I’ve got both PMAGs and Glock factory mags. They both run great and I never had any issues.

I even have the KCI 33rders which run without issues as well, although every on the internet says they are terrible

I have three Magpul 17 round magazines. I have had no problems with them.

Ditto that, except that I have 6...all function flawlessly.

I have run my 21 rd magpul mag I use in my glock 19 mercilessly and it works very well.

I bring about pre-loaded 40 mags to the range with me, so I don't have to carry little boxes of ammo. I have a mix of OEM, KCI, ETS, Magpul, etc. I have good luck with all of them, no jam, no FTF, except for 3 Promags. That said, they serve me a purpose. I use Sellier & Bellot in the Promags for malfunction exercises. For some reasons, that combo turns my reliable Glocks into Jam-Omatics. They jam and they don't drop freely either.
