Glock 26 pmag

[g4pi09]

Does anyone have any range time with these yet?

Does anyone have any range time with these yet?

I got 2 of them and have had them out for a couple trips to the range. Each has probably shown me 20 runs and slide locks. They've run 100%.

I like the purchase and minimum added bulk. I like them a lot.

[g4pi09]

Good to hear JHC, I've got two as well just haven't had a chance to hit the range since I got them last week. I wasn't sure how much bulk the added finger groove would add but it seems to be kind of a sweet spot between standard g26 length and the g19 as far as grip length goes.

[Beat Trash]

I bought one of them and took it out last week. I only had a chance to load and shoot it twice.

I really like the size and shape of the end of the magazine when inserted.

This is my first MagPul Pistol magazine. I think I would want to run it a bit more before I trust it to use when I actually carry the Glock 26.

[LittleLebowski]

I did not know that these existed.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't plan on carrying them until I get some range time with them as well. Heading out next week to hopefully put a substantial amount of rounds through them.

Me either. I am curious how much bulk these add as I am trying to carry a G26 in a NPE. The factory ten-rounder works well and offers me twice the rounds of a J-frame. Two more rounds would be nice.

Good description. I can't say fer sure fer sure but I have a preliminary sense that I shot SHO rapidly, at 7 yards, better with this new mag than the OEM 10 rounder.

[Nephrology]

I ordered 2 as well. I've had great luck with the 15rd G19 mags. Hopefully these will be just as good.

I'm interested in these, as well. If you haven't seen them, there are some helpful pics from a P-Fer on page 34 of this thread:

Very good pics. Thanks.

A very talented shooter is telling me this new 26 mag has helped his G26 draw from AIWB, and he was blazing the last time he demo'd to me with the OEM 10 rounder.

[blues]

With all this yappin' about 'em lately I'm sure I'll end up picking up a couple.

The 19 mags I have are flawless. Been shooting them for about 3 months.

Does anyone know the size difference between the magpul 12 rounder and a Glock +2 extension on a 10 round magazine?

[Bigghoss]

Does anyone know the size difference between the magpul 12 rounder and a Glock +2 extension on a 10 round magazine?

The Glock mag with extension is just barely longer by about an 1/8th". Here's some super scientific pictures I took of each.

Bighoss,

Thanks! That is the main reason I don't see using a magpul mag over a factory plus 2.

Out of curiousity, what is the mag/grip filler in the bottom picture? I assume it slides over a G19 mag. Maybe I'll play with one of those to make a G17K:-)


Found this one, but it looks different. Also it doesn't say if it fits Gen4.

Yeah, mines not the x-grip. It says Midsouth guns and ammo, they come in packs of two and are for the gen 1-3. I bought them years ago and I've never really used them. Those X-grips look nicer. Keep in mind that they DO NOT make a G26 feel like a G19, the way the hump is shaped is different. But for the price it's worth trying out if it interests you. I know some places that do grip reductions and stippling offer packages that include grip extensions like these also so that could work out really nice.

There probably isn't enough difference in length between the extended Glock mag and the Magpul to matter. The camera angle makes the difference look even more drastic than it is. I haven't played with either yet but I would assume they will both function well. For me personally I don't have a need for the 12's but I'm sure they're in someone's "Goldilocks" zone being just short enough and having just the right profile to not print when a G19 mag would.

[JCS]

I like them because they give me almost equal grip to a 19. I have large hands, not necessarily meaty, but large hands (xl gloves). I like the magpul because it kind of matches up with the finger guard. I can normally get 1.5 fingers on the grip https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170204/8dfc89accf1c2476fcb79c9e020181e4.jpg

But here's my grip on the 26 with magpul https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170204/bed694f9703745a8b8e0abb620941767.jpg
Compared to a 19

It does conceal better than a 19 but not as good as a ten rounder.

I've re-thunk this and cancelled my backorder for the 12 rounders. I'll stick with OEM for carry as always, (no +2's except for the happy stick), and use the 15 and 17 round Maguls for the range with the G17, G19 and G26 to limit wear and tear on the OEM mags.

There...I feel better now. :cool:

[B0308]

I bought three of the MagPul 12's from them and two of the Glock 12 rounders from Brownells. The Glock flavor was almost twice the price.

When all arrived, I loaded the MagPuls with the advertised 12 rounds of Federal 115gr brass cased ammo without issue. In the Glock 12. Rounders, the best I could do was 11 rounds, I don't have a loader, but no amount of my thumb power was getting the 12th in. At this point, both models would lock in to two different G26s (a G2 & G4). It took some effort to seat, but solidly locked in. I let all of them set a week, still could not get 12 into the Glock 12s.

I took a systematic approach to testing each in each G26, slide forward , insert full magazine; slide lock, insert full magazine; reload after five, repeat; shoot to slide lock, etc. can provide specifics, but they both worked flawlessly in both G26s, save the inability to fully load the Glock 12s. Added a small amount of CorBon & Gold Dot 147gr as well, with no issues. Did about 150 rounds and called it. Reloaded all magazines (2 of each type) and waited a week again.

Still no luck on getting 12 in the Glock magazines. I repeated the course of fire, no failures to seat, load or lock back. The Glocks, on both G26s would occasionally "bite" the flesh of mu strong hand, at the bottom of the front of the grip, no such issue with the MagPuls.
The Glocks added just a bit (<0.25") to the overall night of the G26, more than the MagPul, but enough that the G26s would not fit in a small lock box I sometimes use.

Short summary, since I use G19 magazines for reloads with the G26s, the 12 rounders add minimum value to daily use, for me, YMMV. The inability to load 12 into the Glock "12" round magazine and slightly greater overall height made them a no go for me. Thankfully, Brownells has a generous return policy. I've kept the MagPuls, at their price, I can keep the, and decide if they go into the EDC cycle after some more shooting.

Stay safe

I ordered a couple the day they they appeared on Magpul's website. I have to really really struggle to get the 12th round in mine. I need a mag loader and a good hard surface to rest the mag on. Getting 12 in is possible, but it buggered up the feed lips on one mag. Personally, if these were about 2 mm longer to ease the amount of compression required, I think they'd be perfect. I've only put about 60 rounds through mine, but function was 100%. I was a little worried about extraction/ejection if I started with 12 in the mag, but the gun seems to work fine.

Regarding the factory 10+2 mags, I had one that I used for carry, and I looked down one day and realized that the +2 was starting to pull away from the mag body. I still use the factory 10+2s, but I'm sure to keep an eye on them, as I think they are more likely to fail than a mag without the +2 baseplate.

Both of my Magpul 21 rounders are impossible to get the last round in.

The OEM plus 2 went through some revisions a few years, and they are better now. If you have a new one, then disregard. Either way, I'm sure they are les reliable than stock plate.

That's good to know. I think I bought my problem in ~2011 and noticed the separation in ~2014. I'll have to check out a couple of newer ones. Thanks.

Well...I'm not sure when they were redesigned. Someone else here probably does. Either way, you may want a new one.

[ST911]

The current OEM (+) extension has been around for quite awhile now without revision.

http://www.lonewolfdist.com/itemmedia/10000/10000_324.jpg

The old design slid onto the bottom of the magazine tube and used only the tabs on the sidewall to keep it in place. Bumps and drops caused spontaneous disassembly, and it was largely unserviceable. The most recent version is GTG and in my experience takes as much abuse as the standard baseplate and insert. I have used them on subcompact magazines for years, more for the extra length in a pouch than the extra capacity. I have them on some G17 mags in go bags and vehicle kits that get banged around, too.

When people have brought me mags with OEM extensions that were slipping, they were either the old ones needing replacement or new ones with missing inserts. They aren't really a wear item. They either work, or don't.

Sidenote: If using the OEM extension, make sure you use the 11 coil spring in G17/22 mags, the 10 coil in G19/23. The 9 coil is still fine in the G26/27 mags as there is more than enough spring tension.

[B0308]

pangloss,

Hmm, my MagPul's were late 2016 purchase, all three have been easy to load fully by hand. Round 12 takes a little more effort that 11, but not tough at all. Not sure if they have changed from early production, or I just got lucky :cool:

First time out, I didn't make the 12th. Second trip I could. They were stout.

I have not gotten the 21st in a 21 rounder either yet though. :D

[noguns]

Would you guys feel comfortable carrying pmag in your g26? Even with a 21 round reload pmag? I intended on just using the aftermarket mags for range use, but I'm much better out of my holster with a mag pull 12 vs a factory 10 rounder.

That's the reason I cancelled the back order. I don't really see myself carrying the PMAG in the 26 over the OEM 10 rounder for both concealment and potential reliability reasons. (Plus I was a bit put off by the several complaints I read about it being an 11 round mag on various sites.)

For range, I have a bunch of 15 round PMAGS and 17 round PMAGS. The 15 round mags are more ideally suited to my annual LEOSA qualifications. So, I see no real benefit to the 12 round PMAG if they aren't to be used for carry.

I'm guessing that the added grip supplied by the 12 round PMAG in a 26 would facilitate the draw but I've never felt particularly handicapped by the truncated grip on the 26 and usually equal or beat my qualification score with the 19.

[Boxy]

I just obtained 8 of these G26 pmags and tested them for function in my Gen 3 G26. They all ran without a problem in feeding. Getting the 12th round in the mag was tough. An additional note which is common with OEM mags was seating the mag with the slide forward required extract attention - more so than OEM types. I have run G17 mags and G19 as well as the 21 rounders. I have had no issues. I particularly like the ease of breaking them down for cleaning. You can use a 9mm bullet to take it down. I like them.

[blues]

Have any of you gents who have the 15 round and up Magpul PMAGs for Glock run them in your 26?

I ask because in this review posted on 8541 Tactical (http://8541tactical.com/2016/09/21/magpul-pmag-17-gl9-glock-magazine-review/) the author points out having failures to feed with the 17 GL9 magazine when loaded into the G26.


The one issue we found with the Pmag 17 GL9 was when we attempted to use them in our 3rd Gen Glock 26. This G26 is one of my regular CCW handguns and has been extremely reliable with factory 17 and 10 round magazines. I could not get to it run a full magazine (rapid fire) with the GL9 without a failure. I attribute this to the short grip on the G26 forcing my hand down onto the magazine. There appears to be just enough of a size difference in the GL9 that pressure on the magazine can cause it to tilt in the pistol and cause a failure to feed.

After running hundreds of rounds, I can whole-heartedly recommend the Pmag 17 GL9 for Glock 17 and Glock 19 owners. To those G26 owners, I recommend sticking with the factory magazines until Magpul releases the Pmag 12 GL9.


This is causing me to reconsider my earlier rejection of the 12 round magazine. Even if I don't use them for carry, (unless thoroughly vetted), they would still save wear and tear on my OEM carry mags and potential equipment related issues when I train or perform my LEOSA qualifications.

Please share your own experience if you would.

I am carrying the new 12 rounder in the gun when I don't need that fraction smaller OEM 10 rounder. But my spares are OEM 19 and 17 mags.

I'll have to give the other MagPul sizes a try soon. I may have already but I'm not certain.

Thanks, J. I bought some of the 15 rounders back when I was recovering from my hand injury but I haven't had the opportunity to use them as yet. The 17 round variety I just ordered from Midway for the G17 are yet to be delivered.

I've gone back on the site and renewed the backorder for the 12s. I'll find a use for them one way or another so it won't be a wasted purchase.

I am definitely curious to see if this is an issue with the Magpuls...though a comment from one gent below the article I linked to states that he had no such hiccup after a training course using the 17 rounders in his G26.

[noguns]

I have 8 15 round and 5 17 round pmags.
All of them have been perfect through two of my gen 4 g26 and two g19s. I've logged at least 4000 through pmags only.
I did have one of their newer dated g17 mags that had a defective spring though. It did not have issues until my fourth or fifth range trip with that specific magazine.
I'm lazy and have at least 8 to 10 mags already loaded before I shoot. They are also fully loaded immediately after range use. I still use them for the range only and carry the Glock mags.

[blues]

Thanks, noguns. Good info. My 26 is a Gen 2.5 so eventually we'll see if that makes a difference or what was reported in the article was an anomaly.

[ST911]

No issues with pmag 17s and 15s in my gen4 G26.

Thank you, sir.

[g4pi09]

Put 200 rounds through the 2 pmags today at the indoor range. Gun and mags functioned no problem. It was a huge pain in the ass trying to get the 12thround in each magazine but I figure with more use that should go away. The magazine extension worked really well during more "rapid fire" strings. The gun has a tendency to want to muzzle dive on me when I'm shooting at a decent pace and when my palms get sweaty and the mag extension seemed to remedy that problem. Pretty happy with them overall.

[JCS]

I used these today and was a little disappointed. I shot 8 bill drills from my 26. 3/4 times it didn't go to slidelock. 2 times I didn't lock back on the last round and the third it stovepiped on the last round.

But, that extra grip is amazing. I shot very well (for me) with them. I'll keep testing them because I really would like to carry these.

Did it happen with both magazines or only one of the two you own?

Both mags. One mag locked back once and didn't the second. The other mag didn't lock back then stovepiped.

I can't be 100% sure the lack of slidelock was mag related. I sometimes ride the slidelock with my grip.

Next time I'll purposely test this.

Took my Pmags and Glock 12's out today. In typical fashion both were extremely difficult to load to full capacity. No failures due to the mags but several failures to extract thanks to the shitty aluminum cased ammo I brought out. I also had a pair of the Glock 15 round G17 mags and they worked fine as well. I even tried them in my G19 and G26 just because.

[blues]

Just got an email from Midway USA that they are finally sending my Magpul 12 GL9 order. Now I'll be able to see what all the fuss is about. :cool:

(The 15 and 17 round mags have been excellent thus far.)

[blues]

Got a handful of the 12 rounders today. They definitely took a little extra effort to get the 12th round seated but they all took the full complement.

As expected, they took a little extra oomph to seat in the G26 as well.

I like the feel in the hand, (not having shot them yet), and they don't seem to add much printing...though it will be a while until I'd feel comfortable EDC'ing them. Hope they prove reliable enough.

I've got about 500 rounds through the g26 mag I photo'd above, it's become much easier to seat the last round.

[blues]

The five 12 GL9s I've been using with my G26 have been flawless so far. No failures to feed, lock the slide back or of any other kind.

Very pleased with this purchase. I think they'll prove worthy of carrying since they conceal quite well.

[Clusterfrack]

I have around 200 rounds through a "12 round" GL9. Function has been good when loaded with 11 rounds, but with 12, I have at least one double feed per mag. As with the Pearce grip extension, the GL9 pinches my finger on recoil. I found it much easier to get a master grip from AIWB, with minimal added "printing" length. As well, it seemed easier to make fast precise shots at distance because my support hand grip felt stronger. I'll be running the GL9 with 11 rounds when I carry a G26.

I wonder if they incorporated any changes or they were just backed up on production recently. It seemed I waited about six to eight weeks until my backorder with Midway was filled in March or April. Might they have tweaked the mags?

The magazines take the full complement of 12 with the assistance of a "Lula" and thus far I've seen nothing even hinting at amiss.

When I had read earlier reviews it seemed folks were having problems loading the mags even with the "Lula".

So far, so good in my Gen 2.5 G26.

[Sigfan26]

I just got half a dozen straight from Magpul a week or 2 ago. Haven't had a chance to shoot them yet.

Couple hundred rounds through my 5 of em. No issues at all when loaded to capacity. Way less finger pinch for me than the Pearce +2 extensions, even on reloads.

[JCS]

Put another hundred rounds through mine. One more range session and I'll be comfortable enough to carry them. Zero feeding issues. I have still have some lock back issues but I'm pretty convinced it's grip related. I want to do a bunch of one handed stuff next time to ensure it is me and not the mags.

^^^I've got about 500 through 4 of them. Once I sanded down the sharp edges of both the mag base plate top edge, and the bottom of my Gen 2.5 G26 magwell with a nail buffer to eliminate the "Glock mag pinch," no complaints. I like these mags; reliable, with an easy 11+1 on tap... (12 is *still* hard to cram in, even with the uplula and half a case of Men 124 NATO in the dustbin of history... screw it: 11+1 it is, fine by me for a CCW this size). No issues with slide lock, seating on a closed slide, one-handed function, etc. etc.

I'm fine with these as primary. OMMV.

As an aside, my Magpul G17 mags also feed my Gen 2.5 26 flawlessly too.

Serious but kind of stupid question. How on earth are you supposed to use the paint pen marking matrix things? I tried to fill one in with a Sharpie paint pen and I just ended up getting white paint all over the bottom of a PMag. Is there some high speed low drag paint pen I need to do this right?

I don't bother with paint. I either use a regular old Sharpie to mark the side and reapply when it wears...or take an awl and scratch a number or letter on the side of the magazine tube.

[jandbj]

For me... silver sharpie, write on sides of mag tube. No clue on the Braille magpul stuff.

Wow. Who wastes that much time? My p-mags got numbered by laying a stencil on the side and spraying with krylon. No masking, nothing fancy...

I've never had a number or letter scratched in with an awl rubbed off and it takes all of two seconds to accomplish. I guess I have my priorities mixed up. I think it goes back to my kindergarten teacher telling my mother I wasn't any good at finger painting. :p

Wow, quick shipping from Midway, don't remember it being that quick last time.
Exuse the liquid bandaid on pinky (great stuff).
If proves reliable, they will def be carried, they feel good and I'm a nut for concealment and comfort.

People with gen3s are they punching your ring finger? Wondering because I have a gen4 and i am Going to add the med backstrap and see it that helps with the pinching of the ring finger.

I just bought one. Can someone explain to me how you get 12 rounds in one lol. Furthermore, after getting 12 rounds in one, carrying a G26 12+1 and have it be reliable. I love the look/feel of these mags but find them to be basically 11 round mags as fitting a 12th round in seems close to impossible.

I used that GLock landing tool that comes with a new Glock to load the 12th round. I then left the magazine fully loaded for about two weeks. After that, I could load the 12th round without using a tool or lots of foul language..

[Totem Polar]

I just load ‘em with 11. WGAF; that’s 12 total chambered up. :D

I used my Uplula and cycled them a few times then left them loaded for a while.

[WobblyPossum]

I haven’t had any issues loading mine to 12 rounds. The fact that some do it and some don’t doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies.

My PMag 12 now functions with 12 rounds. Apparently the spring takes a while to break in.

[Cypher]

I have a total of six. I've had two of them for a year and the rest for about six months.

I haven't had any issues with them but unlike the OEM magazines they don't fall free when you press the magazine release. That's my only problem with them.

[flux]

Thread revival. Bought two of these, unfortunately they seem to stove pipe frequently. Odd looking malfunction too. No problems with the 21 rounder. This in a Gen 5 26

[J. J. Magnum]

My son and I both use Glocks (his is a 23 converted to 9mm and mine a 27 converted to 9mm) and we both run the Magpul mags for the G19. Mine have the "X-grip" adapters attached providing me with a "full 19" grip. It's been two years and several practice sessions without a single failure to feed. I love these mags and for the price they can't be beat. No issue for me to carry them socially as well as to the range. YMMV

I've found that when new, they only work with 11 rounds. After break-in, I can load the full 12.

Same.

I had to buy an Uplula just to load my Glock Pmags. All of them of every capacity I've tried were really stiff at first. I spent a lot of time cycling the springs while watching TV to try and break them it.

[flux]

I can't bring myself to trust these for duty use. I'll use it on the range but will stick to OEM for carry. I am disappointed to be honest.

How long would you have to use them at the range before you trusted them to carry?

I have Used these in a gen3 and 4 and no issues. Last night I got a Gen5 for Glock 26 and heard some issues with them. Is anyone running these in a Gen5? I carry A Gen4 everyday with a pmag Glock 26 mag.

Thanks for the assistance.

I purchased a Gen5 G26 a couple months back and will not use any of my 5 PMAG 12s in it based upon the info I've gleaned here from respected members.

They will continue to be used, (and carried), with my Gen2.5 G26 where they work perfectly.

Only OEM mags for my Gen5. I don't see the point of taking a chance and they are inexpensive enough in any case.

YMMV.

I have four that I use as range mags with my 26.5. I don’t have a huge round count on them, maybe 200 each. I see no reason to use them for carry, though.

[Nephrology]

Interesting that they have trouble in Gen 5 guns.

I hae about 8 of these - 5 of which just came the other day - but not a ton of ammo through them. I am using OEM +2s for now. My guns are Gen 3.

They should be fine in your Gen3, Neph...which is functionally the same as my Gen2.5 They have been perfect in that gun with nary a hiccup.

Yeah it sounds like they work a little better than the Glock 19 mags. I've used those quite a bit and they seem to have trouble with steel ammo, especially on my dusty range. I'll shoot these guys with brass and see how they like it.

I think the best way is to test with your gun and ammo.

No issues with gen 5 G26 and the Magpul 12rd mags. They’re what I shoot and carry almost exclusively. 147gr RA9B and whatever the equivalent is in the FMJ practice ammo.

Resurrecting this thread from 2020: Are the 12 round pmag's still an issue in G26.5's?

I own two, and have several range sessions with them in my G26.5. No issues. I don’t find them superior to OEM 10+2s, but nothing wrong with them, and the price is nice.

[Totem Polar]

Resurrecting this thread from 2020: Are the 12 round pmag's still an issue in G26.5's?

Data point of one, but, 8 12 round pmags, one 26.5; everything gets along fine.

Are these updated PMAGs...a newer iteration?

[Totem Polar]

Are these updated PMAGs...a newer iteration?

I don’t believe so. I bought all of them shortly after magpul launched them, because, inexpensive 12-rounders. Of note: I run 11-rounds in these. Putting the 12th in is harder than clearing Gaza tunnels with a J-frame.

The gun is a 26.5 MOS, so very new iteration there. They also worked with my last 26 though. FWIW.

Thanks. I've avoided using the half dozen I own in the 26.5 based upon earlier reports. (They're flawless in my Gen 2.5)

I did have one OEM +2 that was bad and retired. Haven't bothered sending it back to Smyrna as I have a couple others (I don't use).

[GyroF-16]

I suspect they are a relatively new iteration… As they work fine when the gun is configured with a left-handed mag catch.
