Magpul G17 magazines: anyone tried them recently??

Post by **BK Meyers** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 7:10 pm

Thinking of adding some Glock 17 magazines to the parts bin. Would like to find some used factory G17 units but may end up getting some of the Magpul G17 mags.

Anyone have any recent experience with the Magpul G17 mags?? Good, bad, indifferent??

Thanks,
BK

Put a 150 rds thru some G17 Magpul mags in a G-26 monday no problem. Just make sure you get the gen2 version.

I have a few in my mag bin, and they seem to work fine, but as a long-term hedge against a potential magazine ban I prefer to stick with OEM magazines. The extra $5-10 is worth it to me.

Understand on the price difference but my reason for wanting a G17 mag or two is for carrying as an extra magazine for a G19. Not looking for them in terms of a magazine ban, looking at them for their slight extra length (over the G19 mag) to allow for possible easier access out of a mag pocket or mag holder.

Looks like AIM Surplus has them for $15.15 shipped. Only wanting a couple so probably going to order from them. Primary Arms has them on sale for $11.99 plus S&H with a limit of 5 but really only wanting 1-2 right now.

Thanks all for your input,
