    I have a Magpul mag for my G19 and it is sometimes in my carry gun.
    Well..not any longer.. I took it out yesterday and had a few FTFs with it

    I switched back to factory mags and no issue. It will be demoted to a range only magazine.

    BTW, does anyone know the best place to buy OEM 15 rounders online?

    Switch to wolf extra power springs in the magpul and your problems will go away.

    Also I avoid the 147 grn ammo as it is right at maximum overall length for 9mm rd depending on who made it and will exasperate ftf issues from any mag spring weakness.

    Botach and Greg Cote are the places to get magazines. I have a few Magpul magazines and ETS magazines for Glocks that I got in trades. In my opinion, the ETS magazines are superior to the Magpul. But, why use aftermarket magazines for your Glock when the proven factory magazines are pretty inexpensive?

    I have heard of a few people having issues with the Magpul magazines.

    The few times I have used mine they worked fine as have the ETS mags.

    I always keep my Glocks loaded with factory mags though.

    If its not made by glock, its not worth it

    Magpul mags struggle with JHP amd steel case ammo, ETS mags are hit or miss. Hex mag seems ok, but i only have one, and don't have a nig roumd count

    My Glock 17 never had a malfunction until I tried a magpul mag. 2nd round stove piped. Brass ejected erratically every direction and weakly. So now they are range mags only. The Glock 33 round mag works just fine.

    CDNN is usually my go-to.

    ETA: looks like Botach has better prices right now.

    Also, thank God I'm a man & shoot .40. The 9mm ladies are going to see lots of OOS.

    I couldn't imagine being so effeminate that 1mm makes the difference between gender...

    Don’t you have an abscess to attend to or something? Lol

    Sorry to hear y’all are having issues with your Magpul Glock mags. I have a bunch of them, 12-15-17-21-27 rounders, and all have been flawless. My personal favorite for my G17 is the 21 round mag.

    I also really like the 12 rounder for G26 carry.

    But no argument that Glock OEM magazines are best, and I have a bunch of them as well.

    I also like the ETS mags, especially the 18 round G21 and 20 round G20 magazines.

    But obviously, I must have gotten lucky. I would advise if you are having issues with a specific magazine, send it back to Magpul. They will replace it. They should have the feedback to solve their issues.

    If you were a man you would shoot 10mm, not the watered down version of 10mm that was created because too many fairies complained that the 10mm kicks too much. ;)
    To my shame I don't have a 10mm yet.

    The G40 & G20 are on my list! Maybe an STI 2011 too.
