The magazine is the "weak link" in the functioning of any semi-auto pistol.

With something you stake your life on...why take a chance.

I own 5 or 6 Glock pistols

I've never missed a beat with thousands of rds through Glock factory mags...I see no reason to try and save a few bucks...they do what they were designed to do and they do it well...

I'm sure someone on here will tell you the "knock offs" are just fine...

Not in my Glocks

Good Luck

I bought some Korean that I haven't had any trouble with. What kind of price they want? I wouldn't use them for carry.

I have some KCI Glock mags that I use for range practice.

I spray painted the bottom so I could tell the difference.

No problems, but I only carry factory Glock mags.

i got a 31 round a 15 round and a 13 round all for 38 dollars new and they will only be used for target shooting not self defense the factory glock mags will stay in my glock 23 for that, but i figured they would be worth trying out for that price

I have a KCI 31 round that causes feeding problems like crazy, my glock brand mags work great. Every 5 rounds or so it jams up with the KCI.

Yep. What they said. I never had great luck from the knock off mags. They're ok for plinking. It helps you practice clearing malfunctions but I wouldn't consider carrying anything but glock mags

I got some at the last gun show (KCI) pulled them apart cleaned up excess plastic and smoothed out, at the range they functioned fine but I would never trust them for anything else but for range use will not buy any more.

Maybe I'm just lucky this time, but I have 2 17rd (with +2 bottoms, so 19rd) & 4 33 rd 9mm Korean mags (both KCI & American Tactical) & they have done nothing but run like Glock mags. I guess they are hit or miss in QC, & mine must have been "hits"...
