hmmmm
I'm gonna pick up atleast one, to try to break :D
What is this sorcery? Shut up and take my money!
Msrp $16
everyone stop, I need money for their new 60 round drum. Stop tempting
Cheap investment to stock up for next year's panic that will inevitably come when Clinton runs for president.
I would like these mags to be used as packing material for their 700 stock that I will eventually buy.
All I can say is why?
Glock mags are already ridiculously cheap, reliable, durable and available.
Maybe if they made a 140mm and a 170mm magazine for USPSA I'd understand the hype.
Shut up and take my money!
I won't sell my Glock mags but I'll certainly grab these. Can't hurt.
ill take a reliable $15 magazine... just saying. It makes sense to do this as many people, including myself, trust pmags and will be willing to at least try an (hopefully reliable) alternative to glock factory magazines. I am not disagreeing with you jody but they are a business and these will sell, most likely very well.
I note they appear to be easier to disassemble, and appear to have a follower designed to allow debris to be shook out of the mag. That might be useful for a guy training on a sandy range or whatever.
Didn't Sean talk about Glock mags having issues with choking in over-the-beach work?
Sounds very interesting. I remember not long ago not being able to get Glock mags because everyone was sold out. Let me know when the beta testing on the Magpul mags is over. However I wouldn't mind doing some beta testing on them myself. When will they be available for sale?
They need to crank out some $16 p30/VP9 mags :cool:
I agree with Jody that they're not necessary, but I also really like most Magpul products. It never hurts having more good options available. If nothing else it's an incentive for Glock to keep theirs cheap.
I have to try these. Normally I would only buy Glock mags, but Magpul and Mecgar are the two mag makes for which I'd make an exception. Now part of that is simply I like cheap (10 mags at $7 savings a mag = close to 300 rounds of 9 mm), but Magpul tends to make stuff that works.
- A lot of people buy/own/shoot Glocks.
- A ton of Glock mags are sold every year.
- Magpul has built a reputation over the years of making high quality mags.
- Much of the gun-buying community is cheap.
- Between their reputation and cost savings (even if only a few dollars), Magpul can capture parts of a huge market.
Given the above, all I can say is why not? Magpul stands to make a ton of money assuming these things work.
KCI has sold a ton of their Glock mags, even with reports of malfunctions and short service life. These Magpul units will be more expensive than the KCI, less expensive than Glock, but in all likelihood will run better than the KCI mags.
I like that they appear easier to disassemble, and I like the fact that the baseplate slides in the opposite direction of a standard Glock mag. While astronomically unlikely, and probably only a realistic problem with older generation mags, I know more than one person who slammed a Glock mag home at the wrong angle, ripped the baseplate right off the front of the mag, and dumped everything on the ground.
What's the shotgun shell thinggie in the vid?
Any amount saved is more money for ammo and training.
Someone let me know next year if these are any good.
Generally I see Glock factory G17 mags at $20-25. I'd happily pay $15 for a reliable alternative for matches, etc.
I also happen to like the orange follower.
I'll load up on these if they prove to be reliable and sell for $10-$15. For every $10+ dollars I can save on a magazine, that's a box of ammo, or almost another magazine.
I am all for OEM quality, but if they are both reliable, durable and similarly priced products, then who would you rather give your money to, they guys who told Colorado adios MFers and your stupid mag limit laws or the guy who allegedly screwed everyone who made him a success so he could screw his trophy nurse?
I guess I should by Glock 17 so I can get to use these mags lol
I'm plenty set on Glock 9mm mags, but this move is awesome for the market. Distributors and dealers will have to cut their OEM prices to a more reasonable amount, since I would assume street prices having doubled in the last few years has no logical correlation to production costs/changes for the current generation of mags from Glock.
Coupled with the influx of availability once magpul fully ramps up production, I see fat years ahead for Glock shooters. Until Sandy Hook V2, or a political fiasco comes along.
Really?
I have Glock mags that are 10+ years old and they still work fine.
Even if you buy 10 mags a year that's $100 a year you're saving, which is $8.34 a month.
That's not exactly Trump money we're looking at.
Just admit you're a Magpul groupie and stop blowing smoke with the cost savings BS.
While I wouldn't say it's a yawn, I'm pretty well situated with OEM Glock magazines-but I'm certainly willing to try/experiment with one of the Magpuls or so-for science, of course.
Best, Jon
Hopefully they can make a reliable 10 round magazine...
