How good are Magpul Glock magazines?
A LGS has them for 1/2 the price of Glock brand magazines. I could use a few more G17 and G19 magazines.

Since the previous thread was from January, I will add this:
I have three for a G17. No problems. I would guess about 500 rounds with them. May buy some more and hope they expand the caliber choices.

I really like them, did not find out about them until late last year...as we got closer to the election last year, I purchased a bunch of them. Since then I started using them more and more. The Glock OEM mags went into storage. Now use the Magpul exclusively for range work.

I've been using the mag pul and the ETS mags for a few years with no problems at all and many thousands of rounds.
I'm confident that they work and use them interchangeably with Glock mags without giving them a second thought.

I dry fired with mine last night, they feel sturdier than the ETS mags I have. I wont be able to shoot them until this weekend, but I expect them to work like everything else Magpul makes...

I've got about 20 of them and they have been 100% reliable.

No problemos with mine other than the springs are rather ornery when new. Getting 'blackjack' into a 21 rounder was near impossible without my Uplula. Even with a few hundred rounds through each it remains a struggle without the benefit of using a loader. But that can be said of factory magazines as well.

No issues at all with the few I have for my G17 and 19. I actually kind of prefer them.

Mine have been great. Have a number of both the G17 and G19 models. A few thousand rounds between them. Only complaint is about the G19 model because of the huge baseplate. Makes the gun pretty close in height to a G17, at which point, why not just use the G17 mags and get 2 more rounds? I just hate overly large baseplates unless they're giving me more capacity lol

I still think they are good to go. I like the 21 rounders. The price is great. They are reliable. You can buy two of the 21 rounders for what a single +4 or +5 mag extension to add to a 17 rounder costs.

I have a few for my G19s, they work great.

I was shooting this winter with Magpul and ETS, the ETS followers stuck in the cold, the Magpul mags kept running.

I've had a few that I've put a lot of rounds through; several thousand so far. The one to talk to about the magpul is Jerry Jones, on this site. He's done a lot of testing and research with them for his department, and in the classes he teaches. he spoke highly of them.

I put them in the rotation on my belt and didn't take time to differentiate them from Glock factory magazines; they all performed the same with no notable difference.

I'm inclined to carry Glock magazines, but have no issues training with the magpuls.

Heck, Just about the only thing I can think of that would be a deterrent would be that the Kriss Vector magazine extensions won't fit any of the the Magpul magazines. Other than that... ?
