GL ENHANCED MAGAZINE WELLS FOR GLOCK® 19 GEN 3

GL ENHANCED MAGAZINE WELLS FOR GLOCK® 19 GEN 3 Reviews & Ratings

The Magpul GL Enhanced Magazine Well for GLOCK 19 GEN 3 is a high performance, purpose-built GLOCK frame magazine well. It was designed to enhance and ensure positive magazine insertion in high stress scenarios. Its sleek and ergonomic design features also provide excellent concealment and ensure minimal printing to the user's clothing. Ramp and edge geometry allow for the smooth removal of faulty or stuck magazines during reloading or immediate action events.


The Magpul GL Enhanced Magazine Well is optimized for use with standard capacity GLOCK factory magazines, Magpul GL9® PMAGs®, and a variety of aftermarket floorplates and extensions that are available for both. Recent generations of reduced capacity (10 rd) factory GLOCK magazines have several dimensional differences which may interfere with any magazine well, including the Magpul GL Enhanced Magazine Well. Some large aftermarket floorplates may also interfere.


Due to inherent variances in GLOCK frame production, if an excessively tight fit is experienced during the installation of an Enhanced Magazine Well that requires excessive force it is recommended that a professional gunsmith complete the installation to mitigate the potential for frame damage.


Made in the USA.

Does not work for capped 10 round mags.
I bought this to close the gap on the 19 frame. It did not fit any of my CA compliant 10 round mags, it worked for my 17 mags but not any of my 19 mags. Extremely disapointed. It did have a tight fit going on as well, where you screw the screw into the magwell.

Absolutely Unusable
I have had great results from Magpul in the past so was very surprised by the unusability of this product. After installing this magwell, none of my OEM Glock mags would seat properly. I had constant feeding issues and mags falling out no matter how forcefully I tried seating them. Took the magwell off, and had absolutely zero issues with the same magazines.

Does not work with Glock mags.
Don't understand why something would be sold that doesn't work with standard parts.

Mags dont fit
Mags dont lock. I will need to do some sanding to make it fit.

Factory mags of my Gen 4 G19 do not fit?
I bought a stock Gen 4 G19 pistol with three factory mags, and they will not latch??? Don't waste your money

Wont fit in any of 3 pistols
I bought three of these. Two for my pistols and one for a friend's. All pistols are GEN 3 Glock 19. None of the three magwells fit in any of the three pistols. in all cases, the lanyard hole in the grip was higher than the screw head could clear. Seemed like the magwell just wouldn't make it in far enough. I thought maybe I wasn't pushing hard enough, but even with a vice I could not get it to line up. Before I went too crazy with pressure, I looked online and found were some people had frames cracking at the lanyard hole because of these magwells. So mine all went back. Not worth cracking the frame to me. If you dont mind widening your lanyard hole, or shaving away some on the magwell, it might be worth trying.

Not a good gear
Doesn't work with my Austrian made G19. Mags fails out. They don't stay in the pistol, don't lock in place.

Magpul Magwell Fail
Active duty LEO, I installed this on my personal Duty weapon, Glock 19 Gen 3, a factory stock Glock with Glock factory magazines. With the Magpul Magwell installed, stock factory Glock 19 mags will not seat into the pistol and fall right out! I also tried this Magpul Magwell on factory stock Glock 19 Gen 3 RTF2 frame - same failed result - stock factory Glock 19 mags will not seat in the pistol and fall right out! Product is total failure! IMHO

OEM GLOCK MAGS DON'T WORK
Installed the GL enhanced magazine well for the Glock 19 Gen 3 on my Glock 19 Gen 3 and now my glock factory magazine will not work. Only the magpul magazines will work. Kind of a bummer since it's marketed as being compatible with OEM magazines.

No fit
I installed this product on my Glock 32 , its supposed to be the same for as the 19 . I use 10-8 performance baseplates on my magazines and the mags will not insert into the gun fully with this magwell . One star is not an accurate rating since it will not work but its the lowest that I can give . Very disappointed .
