MAGAZINE 9MM FOR GLOCK® 19, 26

MAGAZINE 9MM FOR GLOCK® 19, 26 Reviews & Ratings

KCI’s 9mm magazine lets you boost the firepower of your Glock® 19 / 26 pistol. You can send plenty of practice rounds downrange without having to reload. This mag is also the ideal tube for any 9mm AR-15 carbine that uses Glock® mags. To ensure reliable function, this magazine has the same polymer and steel construction as factory mags, including a heat-treat hardened chrome silicon spring, and a smooth polymer follower that keeps the round stack moving.

  • Polymer body with reinforcing internal steel tube
  • Removable baseplate
  • Witness holes to keep you apprised of round count
  • Compatible with any accessories that fit Glock®factory magazines

Built exactly good-as-factory specs, the KCI magazine will keep the rounds cycling smoothly and reliably through your Glock®19 or 26 - or your "AR-9" carbine, pistol, or SBR. And the price? Now, THAT will make you smile almost as much as the fun of shooting sessions with fewer reloads.

Great range mags.
I just got 5 of these. I have had 5 in the past that were junk. I was watching a video on YT about these. They are made in South Korea. Recently a new company acquired KCI. They started using better materials and springs. The old mags i got were wrapped in brown paper with black lettering. Like I said they were trash. Lots of failure to feed and then the mag catch literally wore away causing mags to not lock in from my aluminum mag release. The current mags they are available are way better. After 100 rounds through each mag I had no issues. The mag catch hasn't defomed the plastic. They do free. I would recommend for range or class use. Self defense always use glock brand mags.

Great Price/Tough to Fully Load
These are good magazines at a great price and they come with a lifetime warranty. I have been involved with guns for almost 50 years so I am not a newbie at loading magazines. The magazines I received have been extremely difficult to load to their capacity of 33 rounds. They have been so difficult that I stopped trying get all of the rounds in them. Perhaps it's the batch I received. The magazines function well and have had no problems working in my firearms. Hopefully they will break in and make it easier to fill them to capacity.

First impression: value
I was somewhat hesitant to buy these. Reviews seem to be all over the place. One youtube review showed the base plate breaking when dropped where the factory Glock mag did not. But...for ~$12, you can't get close to these with even the Magpul offerings. And to be fair, these at least have the steel liner and feed lips, unlike the Magpuls...and some dislike the Magpuls, so there is that. My initial impression upon receipt was pleasant surprise. I immediately checked the metal feed lips, and no sharp edges. Everything appeared to be made and finished correctly. I didn't try hard, but the one I did try to remove the base plate it didn't seem to want to come off easily so I left it. Might be my own lack of effort to take it off, but it didn't come off as I expected it would. Loading by hand, no issues. No more difficult than the factory 15rd mags. Each of the three purchased were loaded a week prior to the range. At the range, all three mags were emptied via a Gen4 G19. Zero malfunctions. Also thought maybe the balance would be odd with these in the pistol, but I was surprised that it really didnt seem noticeable. Not giving these five stars as I haven't used them enough to know for absolute certain they will be absolutely reliable. But for the price, as it stands now, a very good value. So much nicer to go to the range and spend time shooting, instead of loading mags. Three mags=(almost) two boxes of ammo. Six of these would make for a decent range trip! Anyone that says you don't need anything more than 6 or ten round mags, obviously doesn't like shooting. I didnt understand this prior to truly high capacity magazines in a pistol.

Exceeds Expectations
I was originally skeptical after seeing some poor reviews of the early KCI mags, but the current Gen 2s seem to have taken every complaint into consideration. Happily surprised.

KCI Gen 2 G19 15rd
I've had two of these about a month now, three range trips, 300rds with no malfunctions. They are very hard to fully load when new. After some use it is much easier, I do not use a mag loader. Used with 3 different barrels. Quality ranging from the very cheapest barrel available to one of the very best, Combat Armory, S3F and Bar-Sto Precision. Ran them fully loaded 6 or 7 times each, partially loaded for drills the remainder. Other than being difficult to load when new they worked flawlessly. I removed one star for the difficulty loading. I will definitely be buying more. Still use Glock mags for cc.
