Not a Glock expert so forgive a possibly stupid question. Is there a Glock factory +2 19 round black magazine for the Glock 45?

There are no stupid questions, as an old Instructor would say...

The factory mags w/+2 base plates fit and function in a Model 45.

I have one with me as I type this- hope this helps

But there are stupid people who ask questions...

All standard Glock 9mm magazines are supposed to work in the G45, except the 19 and 26 sized ones.

Yes. It is the Glock 17 +2 mag.

To clarify, the Glock 17, 19X and 45 all use the same 17 and 17+2 magazines. Glock is currently making these mags in Black, tan/FDE and OD green.

The only caveat is the Gen 5 17 round magazines have a lip on the front that is not compatible with the lip on the front of the 19x magwell/grip. That same mag will work if you grind down the lip on the mag well or add the +2 base plate to the magazine in place of the Gen 5 floor plate.

I have plenty new Gen 4 magazines and use them in my 9mm Glocks including my G19X's.

To expand(for duelist enlightenment): GLOCK MODEL 45 (“Stealth X”) mag compatibility-
17 rd. Standard mag, current production, all colors
Above with current “+” baseplate&locking plate(+2 rounds), all colors
24 round GLOCK mag
33 round GLOCK mag (the “G18” mag)
Previous generations may function depending on condition and mag catch placement, i.e., if the mag catch reversed, mags w/o dual notches will NOT lock in mag well.
Armorer manual note: the Gen5 mag baseplate, “02”, NOT compatible with 19x frame or G26 10 round mags and G26 frames(hits the “lip” on frame-mag won’t lock in).
GLOCk also lists 15 round mags(NYPD) and 10 round mags for restricted locales(aka “Peoples Republic of Kali.), but I don’t have much experience w/them).
Buy mags-one cannot ever have enough!

But is there a GEN5 17+2 OEM mag available? Or do I have to buy a Gen5 17 Mag, THEN buy a +2?

Will still work in the G45, even if they clash.

Does a longer/stiffer spring come with the +2?
