Good Glock 19 Mags

I purchased these and my only complain is that you cannot see how many bullets are left in the cartridge since there are no view holes for each bullet in the mag. Otherwise the mag works fine

Very difficult to load last couple

I've loaded factory Glock mags most of my life and these are a bit more difficult to load the last 2-3 rounds. Other than that I'm happy with using these. I've not run many rounds through yet.

Seems like a great mag!

I bought these to use in a Poly 80 project (my first) and at first I was a little disappointed by the G19 magazone as it protruded a little far past the bottom of the Poly 80 (PF940C) grip. Because of this it was subject to a little bit of tilt, and therefor feeding issues became a concern. I added a magwell (Strike Industries) to it and it really tightened up the mag's fit. I'm liking these mags now!

Good For Training

I was looking for good training mags and a lot of them, so that I didn't have to bother with refilling mags at the range and during training. I wanted something cheap that I could drop to the concrete and get dirty without care. That's exactly what these are. I purchased 10 of these and ran 3 loads through each (S&B 115, Federal 124, and Federal 147). I wasn't keeping notes except for tracking any malfunctions. I had total 5 failures to feed out of 450 rounds (not limpwristing, good springs, started test with clean feed ramp).That's not bad for as cheap as these are, but too many to trust for self defense. I'm very happy with these for training (i'll consider it a bonus that it lets me get some tap & racks in). I'm ordering more, but will stick with OEM Glock mags for carry.

Baseplate is twice as thick as glock mag

I bought one of these, I ended up selling it because the baseplate is twice as thick as a glock factory magazine! When you're trying to conceal a double stack pistol these things matter. I prefer the 17 round pmags, the baseplate on those is identical to a glock factory 17 round magazine. They are great mags though, they work perfectly. These are actually more durable than the glock mags, i've had the plastic separate from the metal sleeve on an OEM mag, the magazine still fed reliably but it wouldn't drop free anymore. You don't have to worry about that with PMAGS!
