p7fl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Going to run a Glock 19 in an outlaw Action Steel match this weekend. I can't do math. Would the 24 round mag fit in The Box for Ltd Minor? Yes, it is Outlaw, but they follow most of the USPSA book to avoid chaos. DVC jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 There's no box for Limited in USPSA. Limited division mags are restricted by length of the mag, max 141.25mm. The 24rd mag is way too long to fit the limited mag gauge, but you could use it in Open if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tha1000 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 It really is astounding that the engineer that designed the 24 rounder wouldn't walk over to Coley's office and ask whether a 150mm 24 rounder served any purpose at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if Glock made 140mm 9 and .40 mags. They'd probably hold a round or 2 less than the aftermarket ones, but would actually work well. I'd buy a ton of those. The reason Glock made the 24rd mag that length is they already had a 22rd .40 mag that same size and someone at Glock said "hey, why don't we make this size mag in 9mm too". The 22rd .40 mag length originated I believe from some military contract. Edited October 24, 2019 by Southpaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have made more sense to me if it was. I do like the 24rd mag for a spare carry mag though; it's long enough to be easy to access but not cumbersome like a 33.

I have both those mags, just looked and they're the same size. The 24rd mag is definitely a more overall manageable length than the 33rd mag, but it's still pretty darn long. I think a 140mm length would be pretty nice if they made it. 1 hour ago, Paul49 said: Not to be too picky, but those .40 S&W factory mags hold 22 rounds, not 21...... Dang it, that's what I get trying to go off memory on that . Good catch, I fixed my earlier post. I haven't used or looked at that mag in a while; don't know why I even bought it .

p7fl Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 A plus 2 OEM extension on a 17 would help, BUT, I've never me an extension I could rely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The Glock 24 round mag is supposed to have the 33 round mag spring for reliability. I don’t have either so can’t confirm it. But i got the information from a very reliable source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The +2 works fine for me. The very early ones from like 20 years ago had a problem with falling off when dropped, but the newer ones work fine. All the various 140mm extensions on 17 mags work for me too. They don't work on 19 mags unless you get different versions designed for them. 25 minutes ago, BASE772 said: The Glock 24 round mag is supposed to have the 33 round mag spring for reliability.

I'm not sure if it's really for enhanced reliability or just so Glock doesn't need to stock another type of spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 33 round spring in a 22 or 24 round magazine makes loading the last 1-2 rounds an energetic experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
