JoeyMac Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The big question is will they release 140mm-170mm magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny10 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I got an email from Midway. They have the G17/34 version in stock with a maximum purchase of two. In stock as of ~1445 this afternoon. Well that didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I ordered it said limit 3, I put 3 in the cart, hit checkout, came back - Due to high demand, LIMIT 1 Edited April 10, 2015 by toothandnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as well. I don't really like to buy from Midway anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericridebike Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I wonder if the TTI base pads or Dawson Precision ones will fit them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highwayman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I hope to grab a few of these, I've been needing full-capacity courses to beat around at a tactical course while saving my ten rounds for competitions. If they make a 33 rounder, I may fool myself into thinking I have a reason to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's right ladies and gentlemen, I have one! I work at Big 5, and we just got an entire case of them. I will try to run it through its paces and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 After looking over the mag, the way the base is designed(maybe intentional, if they are planning on producing for the competitive crowd) we don't think the lip will hold up to the higher spring pressures of an extended base addition. At least at this point we have decided against producing ext. base , I never say never though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So far, things are not looking good. Proprietary spring, no base pads, and then there is the whole poor function thing. For $5 more I'd stick with factory mags until they get the kinks ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 From the magpul facebook page.... OK we screwed up. After initial release of the Glock 17 PMag (GL9) a few days ago we started seeing random issues of failure to feed with the new magazine in other Glock models primarily the Glock 19 and 26. Of all the challenges of building a Glock magazine with single new composite, issues like drop free, impact strength and feed lip retention were foremost on our mind. The failure to feed came as a bit of a surprise to us and we immediately headed out to the range to investigate. In short order found the problem. Without getting into technical details, some small, but critical geometry changes did not make it into the initial production molds. We should have caught this but no failures showed up on our factory guns during live fire testing and flaws in our internal processes of checks/balances did not flag the oversight as it should. So as I said before, we screwed up and here is what we are going to do about it. Molds are being updated with the correct geometry as we speak and a replacement magazine body with the correct geomentry should be available by May 4th 2015. These will be date coded 5/15 and later and will replace any magazine bodies in service of earlier manufacture. Just use your existing spring, follower, and floor plate with the new body. -If you purchased your magazines direct from Magpul, Brownells or Midway, you do not need to do anything, replacement magazine bodies for the magazines (1 for 1) ordered will be shipped to you automatically. -If your purchased your magazines from a gun store, replacements will be sent out to the store in question for you to pick up. -If neither of the above works for you then Magpul customer service will handle the replacement directly. In short, we are updating ALL of the affected magazines released as quick as we possibly can.

toothandnail Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Nice, I found the same problem with mine, ran 51 rnds through it had 3 failures. Glad they are taking care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny10 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looks like the naysayers were right. I was wrong. And I have 6 in the mail to me as I currently type. Yeah yeah I know. They are going to fix the situation. But Whenever a product roll out is botched like this you never really have faith in the product again. Which is shame. I have never had reason to disparage Magpul before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had reason to disparage Magpul before. I actually have the opposite reaction -- if a company steps up, owns and addresses their error in timely fashion, that makes me have more faith in the manufacturer....

b1gcountry Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 This is a pretty fast response from them. I will hold off on them until some folks confirm the fix works, but I won't hold it against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekratman Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Glock has had decades to tune and improve their mags. Magpul tried to do that overnight, and it bit them. Aftermarket. People run to it too much sometimes. You will be driving down the road next to an aftermarketed-out truck. You can see the aftermarket accessories are rusting, leaving rust streaks down the paint. Sometimes aftermarket is better for specific applications. My competition Glock's sights and springs, for example. But regarding the mags, the only need I can think of would be a shortage of OEM.
