bigdawgbeav Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Just wondering what everyone thought about the Korean-made Glock Mags. As reliable as the factory? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhyrum Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It appears they are hit and miss. For range blasting that would be fine. For defense or competition, you'll need to change the guts outSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuey Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I had one and it ran fine. Never had an issue and no jams. I have heard other stories, of people having problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techj Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Bought 3 of the KCI 33 rounders and I use them for practice only. Even then I had to replace the springs w/Wolff ones for them to be reliable...with the factory springs they would fail to feed 1-2 per mag. When I replaced the springs one them was pretty much out of shape. I don't have confidence that the base plates will hold up from being dropped much, if at all. For the price - and not for serious use - they're fine. If you get them cheap enough it can be a good deal. When I bought mine last year I was able to get them for $12.95/each on sale and then bought the Wolff springs in a 3-pack for about $25 (including shipping).

jackntucson Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I had 3 of the 33 rounders, started having trouble with one and sent an email. They replaced all 3 of them and as soon as I got the new ones I gave them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger123 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I have some of the original ones that came in a few years ago. they were less than stellar . feed lips spread and base plates cracked when hitting the ground. put them away and forgot about them. recently went to triggercon and kci happen to have a booth there. i asked the rep if they have improved and he told me they have. so i told him about my mags and he said to contact them and they would swap them out. sent a couple of emails with no response. i am a big customer service person. if you have good CS i will buy your product first. seeing they never replied i have relegated the mags back into the junk pile. Seeing i am in Vegas after nats i might stop by their place in Henderson for a look see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Drop them on a hard surface, like an earthen range floor, and they fly apart. Base, spring, follower and ammo everywhere. Happened to a friend at a match. Buy Glock mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have a big stick that I use in the vise to hold the PCC when I work on it - that's the only good use I've found for it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I don’t understand why ETS, , Magpul, and Korean mags exist. (Except for @warpspeed‘s use anyway. ) Factory Glock mags are some of the cheapest out there, and they’re as boringly reliable as magazines get. I guess it’s all about perspective. If you’ve ever owned a 1911, Walther, H&K, SIG, or god forbid a 2011... Austrian mags are a bargain in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ETS mags made some sense at first because they had a 22 round 9mm mag when Glock didn't. Then Magpul made their version. But now that factory 22 round mags exist from Glock, I see no reason for the aftermarket stuff. As for the more standard factory sizes, forget it, none of them are better than factory Glock mags. I like Magpul, and really tried to like ETS mags (back then), but had issues with both brands of 9mm mags in various guns. The ETS extended G43 mags sound like a good idea in theory but I ran into feed issues with certain bullets that worked fine in factory mags, so that was the end of that for me. AR15 mags are a different story for me, really like Pmags. Edited October 7, 2019 by Yondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 17 round versions don't drop free from my Glocks. Seemed to work well enough other than this fatal flaw Got them for $8.00 each a few years ago, now I use them to make PCC mounts on my cart.
