PMAG® GL9® 9MM LUGER HANDGUN MAGAZINE FOR GLOCK® 17 Reviews & Ratings

The Magpul PMAG GL9 - GLOCK 17 was designed for flawless reliability and durability over thousands of rounds. It provides the same quality and performance of the proven Magpul PMAG series of GLOCK magazines while also providing a viable product solution to those in locations and situations where a 10-round capacity restriction is required or desired. It utilizes the same double stack feed geometry as the standard capacity PMAG GL9 to ensure feeding and to avoid known reliability issues seen in many competitor products on the market.

Includes a high visibility controlled-tilt follower, a stainless steel spring, an easily removable floorplate for cleaning, paint pen dot matrix for mag marking, ridged floorplate edges for better grip, and round indicator windows. The magazine drops free when loaded or unloaded. All with the same boring reliability you expect from an OEM magazine.

The PMAG GL9 - GLOCK 17 is compatible with most full-size 9mm GLOCK handguns*, as well as compact and sub-compact variants with some protrusion below the grip.

Made in the USA.

Nearly round would stove pipe or jam!

Magpul finally let me down. I have bought rifle mags, rifle furniture and always lived Magpul. Took these mags to a shooting competition and EVERY SINGLE MAG had issues. Factory Glock mag fed perfect everytime.

Go oem

These don’t work well and fail to feed pretty regularly.

Does not work! Get OEM instead.

Maybe I got a bad batch but all three of mine do not work. The images uploaded only has 10 rounds in it and you can see it's not pushed all the way up. I put in 17 rounds and started to unload one by one to test it and after unloading 2 rounds, the rest were stuck and would not come up. I had to shake if pretty hard upside down to get the spring to push the rest up. Pretty much did this until 3 rounds were stuck. After the 3rd round came up with my process of shaking it did the last two rounds come up. Thinking it may need a break in time, I repeated this entire process 4 more times but it was still doing the same. Pretty frustrated because Magpul's AR mags are great and never had one single issue. Their Glock mags was a big failure for me so I'd not recommend it. Yes, they are 50% less than OEM but did not work.

Very Disappointed with this one...

Bought a 3 pack of these mags for my Glock.... Read all of the reviews and thought it sounded like a good bet.... These mags are crap... All three have issues feeding... The follower seems to get stuck or the spring is not stiff enough... This is not a cleaning issue... I keep them cleaned and well maintained... They have been a problem since the beginning... These are best suited for a trip to the garbage can.... JUNK!!!

Need work

I purchased 6 of these magazines to test out. Initially I was impressed with them as I have been a longtime Magpul PMag user. I took them to the range and fired rounds through them with no failures. After confirming that they were working, I loaded them up and took them with me to a week long CQB school I was attending. That's when I started having problems. When the gun heated up, I started suffering from failure to feeds. After conducting seven immediate actions to clear malfunctions, I switched to my OEM Glock mags that I had on my belt. The FTF disappeared. I went through several iterations switching from Magpul mag to Magpul mag. Every single time, when the gun started heating up from sustained fire, I started suffering FTF. Every time I switched over to OEM mags, the issue disappeared. I wasn't ready to give up on the mags just yet and decided to switch to a Glock 19. The first two mags I went through with my OEM Glock 17 mags to confirm they were working and I suffered no issues. When I switched over to Magpul mags, initially they worked fine. Once I went through the first mag and did a reload, I suffered a FTF after the third round. I did immediate action, cleared it and began firing. I suffered two more malfunctions on the next mag when I switched. After that, I ditched the mags for the rest of the week and stuck to my OEM magazines. Thankfully, Brownells offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee and I was able to return all my magazines for a refund. I hope that Magpul takes a look at their design and figure out a fix. These mags would be fine for some recreation range time if you're looking for cheap mags but for duty use, no.
