Glock021 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The Magpul Glock magazines run just fine. Not a lot of extended basepad options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more for carry gun/occasional prod use. I am set on 140’s for CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacivilian Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I would not use any Magpul mags in a carry gun or for match use. I have had plenty of magazine related malfunctions when using Magpul magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not crazy expensive though, so would probably be worth getting one or two to see if you have any issues. Maybe same with the ETS ones.

tha1000 Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 I've heard mixed reviews as well, which is really the genesis of this thread. If i hadnt heard any bad about them, I'd probably have just saved some bux and bought a 10 pack of magpuls for $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been using pmags quite a bit and they haven’t let me down. I don’t recall ever seeing one malfunction. I can’t say the same about ETS, but they do stand behind their products.

May be, but I’ve used 3 of their 140’s for nearly two years and haven’t had any problems whatsoever. I do clean all my mags that hit the ground though.

TTI makes more than a couple 140 extensions that need kissed with a belt sander to fit in the gauge... as some guys find out the hard way.

To answer the OP's questions. I've not found anyone that sells the OEM mags for less than most places. Meaning, $25 is about the best I've seen. Except for specials. I've never used the magpuls so can't comment. I have used ETS with better luck. I've beat the crap out of them too. Saying that, I will never use them in a match. They seem to swell and sometimes will not drop free. OEM mags are not expensive IMO. Saving a couple of bucks on magpuls or ETS isn't worth it.

I don’t shoot majors so my TTI +5s on my Walther mags don’t concern me. If I sign up for a major, I’ll spend the $20ish on a gauge to see if the heel of the extension needs sanded down half a millimeter. Just wanted that info out there.
