Magpul announces Glock 17 PMAG

[spaniel]

People will probably buy the heck out of them, but I get your point. I wonder what the price will actually be? You can find OEM Glock mags for $20, so these would have to be proven just as reliable, and hopefully less than their MSRP.

I'd want to see these mags in person. The Glock mags I bought in 2013 were nowhere near the quality of those that came with my gun circa 2003. They feed reliably but the lips are out of spec and spread apart under the pressure of a loaded mag, so the last few rounds can be tricky to load without popping out.

Magpul should do HK mags. They could undercut that market in a second!

 

[Goodcat]

Freaking genious marketing in the video!!

An average person walks into a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops and sees a factory Glock mag for $29.99 (sometimes more), and a Magpul (made in USA) for $15 or less. Side by side, I'm guessing they will walk out with the Magpul. Better than ProMag...

If the Glock mag is priced higher at Cabelas why won't the Magpul also be?

I like the idea of easily removable floor plates. Glock mags suck to try to take apart.

Yeah, there're a pain to get apart. I'm always afraid I'm going to break mine.

M&P mags next please?

 

[Ruffnek]

Big bore Glock mags should be next.

 

[Tydeeh22]

How many mags does one need?

 

[nipprdog]

and for less than half the price of factory for a USA made item

 

[perry]

How many mags does one need?

All of them!

 

[Fordtough25]

Oh yea, Magpul does it again!! I'll grab a handful at least, you never have enough mags. They're expendable and handy. Hopefully they make a version in the 20 something round count range.

 

[addictedhealer]

M&P mags please!!

 

[Clay]

M&P mags next please?

yes please!

As good as or better than the originals? Time will tell. Their other products seem to be top self in their respective price range so maybe they have another winner.

 

[Shiver]

As if I needed another reason to buy a G17. This just might be my tipping push.

Got my first Glock 17 in 1986 in high school when all this was orchard, now I finally have a reason to buy more mags for it.

I almost always use a C clamp to squeeze the sides together, but always cringe as I don't want to crack the polymer.

I don't see the point of this. Do glock mags not work? So why fix them?

Oh, I dunno. It's kinda nice to have drop free mags. At $15.99, if they live up to the expected reliability, I'd say those are great purposes.

It removes at least one reason I don't own a glock.
