Thanks. ETS mags' basepads are interchangeable with OEM Glock, so I don't see why they wouldn't work. Link to comment

It is an ETS, for the other mag I used an old, $8.00 Korean G17 mag. Feeds fingrips@gmail.com, holds at least 45 rounds and is pretty easy to load up to round 33, at which point a MagLula loader was used. Link to comment

TRUBL Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The coupler will not work with the 22round ETS.....it has a different angle at the bottom. It will however work with the 17 and 31 round ETS mags Link to comment

They had reversed the springs to keep the spring joint from passing over the mag joint. Tim, have you seen these used in configurations with the short and long mags in both orientations, up and down? If so, have you experienced any issues with the spring joint passing the mag joint? I've got your coupler and I'm trying to figure out how I want to assemble it. Sounds like my 22 round ETS is out.

I haven't had an issue with the spring joint passing the connector, though it was something I thought might be an issue. I'm using an El Cheapo Korean mag for my short one and it dis not feed 100% when I used it in my Glocks, and does not drop free so I'm reluctant to use it as the feeding half of the unit.

We do a lot of high round count stages here so it would be nice to get even more than the 48 rounds from a 17+31 round mags. But two 31rd mags would be pretty long. I wonder if one of the .40 22 round mags would work combined with a 31rd mag. It would have to be the bottom mag of course. I have one of those, might try it. I'm also curious about Reg's question on whether you've found it matters which mag, long or short, is on top and if they are more reliable one way. Thanks Link to comment
TRUBL Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 you can do 2 -31's and it will work fine if you use one Wolff extra power spring on one side. Josh Tarrent did a video with some tips..... Link to comment
robertg5322 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 That's a long magazine. At that point, why not just go with one of the drum mags? That's 50 rounds for $75.00. Link to comment

One thing I will say.....they're awfully heavy, but I don't notice it while shooting. Link to comment

We're about to lose any access to >10 round mags in July. Gonna suck until I escape. Link to comment

72stick Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I bought the Taccom mag coupler and assembled it the night before our local club match. Never even tested it before taking it to the match. Ran perfectly! It holds 50 rounds no problem. It is awesome! Link to comment

72stick Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Glock 33 round mag and G17. Link to comment
robertg5322 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 And got 50 rounds in it. Impressive. I may have to try and get 48 into my ETS31 & Korean G17. Link to comment
72stick Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I took it apart this afternoon to check for burrs in the area where the floor plate goes through the coupler. I noticed a little mat'l that might cause it to bind a little. I removed that and smoothed the area with some 1000 grit. When I put it back together it will easily hold 51 and take a 52nd round, but it's too tight to try inserting it into the gun with 52 in the mag. Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Has anyone tried mating two 33 31 rd Glock magazines together? Did it work and how many rounds does it hold? Thanks. Bill Edited May 28, 2017 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Hello: I have one for Colt Metalform mags and will test it out this week. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks Eric. I already have a 31 + 17 Glock that runs 100% but I'm on the waiting list for an outlaw match that every stage is 50 rd (if you don't miss). A reliable 62 rd magazine is what the doctor ordered. Bill Link to comment
