    Glock 17 Mag ?

    I am getting ready to buy a 9 MM barrel to use in my Glock 22 40 S&W
    So I am also getting ready to buy a couple of the 9 MM Mags also LOL

    But I was looking .... ( I Normally buy Factory mags )
    But saw Mag Pul has mags for the Glock 17 and are slightly less $$ , I got to thinking .... dangerous some times
    As I use several of the Mag Pul mags in the AR 15 and like them

    Are the Mag Pul Glock 17 mags any good ?

    while magpul makes a good AR magazine, you see way too many complaints about their glock mags.

    Thanks
    I am .... CHEAP !!
    So I try and buy good stuff the first time

    I may spend extra $$ the first time
    But I hope I save $$ by not having to buy a replacement from a bad choice of what I bought the first time

    I have used Magpul 9mm mags extensively, and have found them every bit as good as factory.

    I have a couple of the 17 round mags and they’ve worked fine. I just bought a couple of the 21 round models and they’ve worked fine at the range the 3 or 4 times I used then. The others have probably been used 10 times or less. They definitely feel cheaper than the Glocks but they seem to function just fine in my limited experience.

    yup me too. Ive got 6 of them and my 17 and 19 have never missed a beat with them. If they don't magpuls customer service is as good as it gets and they will send you new ones. For a 1/3 the price there a no brainer if you ask me.

    I have several magpuls that match up with the OEMs except with aftermarket +2 basepads.
    My glocks (& I got 5) ain't finicky with mags, even my 33-round KCIs run flawless.

    +1 for Magpul. My LW 9mm conversion barrel for my G22 was a great investment.

    Even a factory Glock mag is not a bank-breaker, but I would steer you toward newer ones. The older ones were never really problematic IN 9MM, but there were a lot of revisions on the .40 S&W side of the aisle to improve function with that cartridge, and they've filtered out to the rest of the line. The new Gen 5 9mm mags are NICE.

    I bought a few Mag Puls, but can't say I've run them exhaustively. Cheap enough to roll the dice on one or two before sinking your 401K into them.

    GL9 10 rounders worked great in a G17 so far, no issues.

    Back in the 94 assault ban on mags many just used .40 &W mags for the extra capacity in the 9mms

    Myself, Glock mags are cheap enough for me.

    I love Mapul stuff, but not for Glock mags. Some times you need to buy factory mag.

    Surprised by the feed back; the magpul Glock mags are a strong contender- and I’ve had zero trouble with them in various pistols and pcc’s, and sometimes the deals you find like black Friday magpul glock mags for under $10- and even though the magpul extended version holds 27 not 33 hey are always available. Just wish they’d get into the Glock 30/21 game- as extended quality mags in .45 are sometimes unobtainable

    LOL I guess I will find out how the Mag Pul mag works
    Midway has the extended threaded Swenson Glock barrels on sale for $114.99
    So I ordered 3 of the Mag Pul mags also

    I guess I will have to cast a few hundred of several different bullets to see what shoots best
    I see that as a GOOD reason to cast as any

    I myself have not used the magpul , but my son and son in law have them and they say they are not as good as a glock factory mag. they use them now for practice drills but not for carry , I have noticed if you watch ads and sales sooner rather then later you will find glock factory mags at a pretty decent price , Let us all know how yours work and your experience with them , good luck .

    I've been using the Magpul Glock mags in my Ruger PCC with no problems. I've got a couple of buddies who use them in their 9mm AR pistols, again no problem.

    I've also got a fistful of the KCI 33 round mags, no problem with those either.

    I've ran close to 4000 rounds through the Magpul Glock mags in the past year.

    Magpul is good, but stay away from Korean junk KCI, I didn't listen to my cousin trying to save $ and I regret it, but the time I replace the springs I could have bought OEMs for a few dollars more.

    Garbage! Stay away from Korean crap, cheap molded plastic with weak spings, had to replace springs, it wouldn't pick up rounds reliably, by the time I upgraded I could have had OEM for a couple bucks more
