The New England gun nut If you are taking about Glock magazines, you need to check out CDNN Sports. They have 4th generation factory magazines for $19.99
I don't know why Glock hasn't redesign the bottom of their Magazine similar to Magpul... Big button and it can be removed... How much Engineering does that take... LOL.
@@terryleethompson6245 he's making issues that aren't there tho. If the slide is locked back the mag will go in smooth with no resistance at all, hes "showing the difference" to something that if done correctly doesn't matter
I watched the video on the testing of the Marines magazine for Magpul the PMAG and if these are tested the same or anything close to it the magpul Glock bags should be just fine considering their lips and if they stretch and crack etc. So I got glock and magpul for my ar9.
Thank you. Have you ever heard of anyone having issues with the Glock 357 Sig magazines??? Lately I had a failure to feed and I noticed there's a little bit of extra plastic going over the feeder ramp on the magazine I shaved it off but it still doesn't seem to be enough. It's almost like sometimes the next round will come up level and not that nice cant that you need to feed reliably.
There's reciprocating automobile components that are polymer these days. Nothing in a firearm takes anything in that realm of abuse. If metal inserts make you feel safer, go with what causes you the least anxiety. Times change, though. These magazines are reliable, but they should be tested repeatedly in a firearm before being used in a carry weapon. Even Glock mags. There are factory variations in OEM parts as well.
I find it funny the same guys who say stick with factory mags use pmags in their ar15 as the go to mag. By that logic we should only use colt 20rd mags in ar15s lol I don't really mind the price though $15 for magpul and $25 for glock is $10 but glock doesn't offer a 21/22 round mag
I got a mixture of Glock and PMAG GL9s in my safe. 9 factory magazines for the 17, 19 and 26 and 8 Magpyl GL9s for the 17, 19 and 26. Along with eight Glock 33-round giggle sticks and eight Magpul GL9 21-round half-giggle sticks. And a single 31-round ETS giggle stick because a coworker gave it to me for free. Haven't had any issues with any of them, although the ETS magazines don't feel as sturdy as the PMAGs or factory magazines.
The original Glock mags were all polymer. Gaston designed them to kinda bow out in the mag well so the user would have to pull the mag free to replace it. When it came to America, Americans did not like that concept and Gaston added the metal insert so it would not bow in the mag well anymore and it would drop free.
With the ETS Mags.. They are made with RELOADING in mind. As in you first mag is dry, the slide has locked back and there is nothing in the chamber, so when you reload it has no problem. A lot of company's are making their mags like that nowadays.
The majority of your reloads in the real world will be when the slide isn't locked back. Many people do tactical reloads to top off so you're not caught with your pants down. Also, any smart person will top off their mag before re-holstering...
@@anonypersona3189 I do the sane thing when I'm training, learned it from Lucas at T Rex Arms, & playing Modern Warfare (Slightly realistic, just slightly)...
@@anonypersona3189 I mean duh, dude is also potentially a racist, but I don't deny that he pushes me to train harder & do better. His technique totally made me a better shooter, and my MP5 reload time is faster than his by a whole second👌. Lucas definitely made me step my game up. It's funny though, about 2-2.5 years ago he had a bunch of junk cars towed onto his range and positioned to simulate traffic in the urban/inner city environment... I told him to do that, that was my idea.. Meanwhile, he won't even allow me to apply for a job at T Rex while also telling me that the range is exclusive to T Rex Employees & selecting mil or quasi-mil groups... Keep in mind all his employees are white, and the law enforcement teams he trains are white.
@@DukeSigma260 I haven't heard anything to make me think he is a racist but whatever, being homophobic is a type of racism in and of itself... but we digress.
He missed a fat point when comparing pressure when loading mags. In a reload scenario, the slide is locked to the rear which takes almost all of the experienced tension away. The only time you're going to have to shove hard is if your loading a mag with a closed slide which is not nearly as common.
In most reload scenarios you don't wait for the slide to lock back. You top off the mag whenever there's a good opportunity and whenever before you re-holster... Besides, why not pay a few $ extra and have a mag that effortlessly fits?
Check out kci glock mags theyre usally a third of the price of oem and just as reliable theyre made in south Korea for use by the south Korean police and military theyre pretty much oem with out the glock logo steel lined and everything the only difference is the font used for the witness holes
I use these all the time on a lot of my custom Glocks for the range and have never had an issue out of any of them. Now when I carry I use OEM mags. I opened a brand new one while watching this video at 3 minutes and 55 seconds to see if that last round with give me a hassle, open a 19 one and it fit all 15 and fit perfectly in my z19. I've never had a problem out of magazines even the ones for my ar.
I dont have a clock but a NAK9 that uses the glock mags, and the glock mags are by far the best in every way. That being said i do have some 27rd Pmags that i use and they work great, but are a bear to load and insert like you said. I shoot the the PMags when im putting them in the dirt to save the wear and tear in the glock mags. Haven't tried the ETS mags yet but will when the other's fail, heck the KC mage that came with it works great, that was surprising.
All my glock factory mags are horrible with the last round, even the ones that are 10+ years old. But that's what the upula mag loader is for. Haven't had any problems with magpul mag. So I bought two 21 round magpul mags to test and hopefully use as my backup mags. Glock only makes a 22 round mag for the .40 and I moved to 9mm
sly2792004 It's a good sign which means strong spring force! His two biggest complaints were actually about strong springs! WTF?! Torture/endurance tests are the only significant evidence on mag reliability.
I use oem glock mags for edc but honestly I have had zero issues with the few ETS 15 rounders I have. My magpul Glock mags though....freaking trash. I cannot recommend them for anything lol.
I have a couple of all the mags you reviewed, I use the Magpul mags exclusively for pistol matches and have never had any issue seating any mag, yes they are harder to load but if you run through as much ammo as I do you buy a loader which makes that a non issue. All of those mags are good mags I run the ets and kci mags in my pcc and have never had any issue with any of them. If you want to shit on a mag go get you a promag glock mag and experience what a bad mag is like bs nit picking quality mags.
My opinion , glock factory mag is always best. That said there horribly hard to disassemble and the most exspensive. I have never had a problem with magpul mags. Ar or glock style. Same with eta. Mags. But I only carry. Glock when my life and families lives count on it. Range shooting with a bag of mags is different. Save the money and if you don't have a speed loader. I recommend getting one. Thanks for the vid.
Just got an ets mag and put 600 rounds through it with no malfunctions... and they are $15 instead of $40 so I'll be buying them from now on...

You can get 5th gen glock mags for $20 online these days. My local store has them for $27.

Thums up FOR ETS MAG.
I have Glock and Magpul mags. When they are new both are hard to load to full capacity.
Who the hell puts a mag in like that anyways... stuff it in there like a real man damn it
HA?
Exactly. Taking 1 round out of the mag would also solve that problem
Hey Man- this is a Demonstration - He wanted to show the difference...Jezzzzzz

I wonder how ETS mags would work in a PSA Dagger...

I have 25 magpul 9mm mags that go to the range every week, hundreds of rounds through them,not one issue. Love the Glock OEMs. Love the Magpuls also.

Hard to load mags? Check out the ETS loader! You're welcome😇
Only works with package ammo, not bulk unfortunately but awesome design and idea
@@doddgarger6806 it does work with bulk, you can load it in your hand and its super fast vs loading 22 9mm rounds by hand

If factory is only one to depend on, they why buy any of the rest?
I have had zero issues myself with the 2 ets mags i have.and as stated in an earlier post 20 bucks instead of 40 thats a nobrainer

There is no reason to compromise on quality.
Use only Original GLOCK magazines.
Try loading a fully loaded magazine with an open slide instead of closed. No point in a self defense gun if the chambers empty.
Hey joey what’s ur thoughts on the kci Korean glock mags?
Not Joey, but unless they have IMPROVED IMMENSELY STEER CLEAR,I have 10 new one's 1st gen and that all sucked.
Good Review. Keep 'em comin'. You just got a New Subscriber.
my ets glock mags SUCK so bad i have had good luck with kci korea mags and magpul mags but nothing beats the factory mags
Ive actually had Glock mags drop out. Not often, but its happened a couple times.

Your factory glock magazine with silver rectangle is limited glock magazine made for glocks with ambi magazine release.
Not limited all gen 4s
Your right Pew Pew this videos is a joke!!!
the non-glock mags don't like Aluminum ammo. They don't feed smoothly.
Just get a maglula @joey bullseye
Glock 19 looks legit!
I've been using ETS mags for years, never had a problem.
ETS uses an advanced polymer... superior to the Pmag..
if u only have a few mags u r not doing much work with them lol
Amend2 Glock mags
Glock factory magz all the way.
That's all I buy and use
Seriously guy! who the hell complains about how hard it is to load a mag, either ammo in the mag or mag in the gun?!?! What a waste of time!!
