diehli Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Khan has those earwigs on steroids, which freaks me out, so I'd go with Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I wouldn't use anything but a Glock mag...not worth messing with. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 False economy, if you want reliable mags, the khan's aren't it, all you will end up with are $31 glock mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradGannaway Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Buy a few Khans to use during dry fire drills and range practice; that way, you won't be dropping or overusing your factory mags more than needed. I've got three that I use for those very reason. I've never had trouble out of any of them, but I can say that the Glock mags pull much smoother out of the CR speed mag pouches. So, again, using the Khans when I dry fire and practice reloads is like wearing ankle weights the week before a CC run. I was limited on my budget, so I went with 2 extra Factory Glock Mags (brought me to a total of 5) and 3 Kahns. You saw how battered mine were at the last match, and I've got some new base plates on order. In a month or so, I'm going to order 5 more factory mags because I know I will eventually need them.

Nik Habicht Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Glock all the way. I'm still running the six primary ten rounders I bought prior to the 2005 Production Nationals -- and they show no sign of wearing out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Would you rather have a new Khan 17 round mag for $11 or a used (but in good shape)17 round Glock mag for $20? Shop a little harder and buy new Glock mags for around $20 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hefta Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I would rather pay $40 for a Glock mag than buy those crappy asian knockoffs! Lucky for me they are only $20 each, but you know what I mean. I have four Asian made "Glock" mags that I wouldn't give away to anyone unless they are an enemy of mine. Yes, I couldn't resist trying them myself but never again. Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twise, shame on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop a little harder and buy new Glock mags for around $20 each. Cool. I'll search around some more. Do you know of any places off the top of your head? bestdefense.com has them listed at $21.95 each...but at checkout, they seem to give 10% off, which actually drops them to just under $20 before shipping. There's always Botac...but they recently raised their Glock mag prices...and their order fulfillment is so hit or miss and customer service non-existent, that unless you've dealt with them before and know the drill, I can't recommend ordering anything from them...unless they offer misery for sale. I bet they could deliver that without any issues. While you're there, get yourself an Agrip for your Glock. Edited April 9, 2010 by njl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
