    Call them and they'll replace them for you. I had a set where the springs were too tight and putting in a 15+1 caused a FTF and an unlocking of the mag. The ones I have now are GTG, but I'm still only using them at the range the a few thousand before I'd use them for carry.

    My ETS mags were from their early ones with the bad springs. AFAIK they replaced those for anyone who asked. My Magpul mags have not proved reliable and not only would I not use them as carry mags, I have taken them out of my practice rotation as well.

    Did that. Not interested in wasting further training time with mags of unproven provenance at this point. Will stick to OEM 17 round mags or GL9's.

    ETS Glock Magazines

    I picked up some ets 21 round mags and they wouldn't fit 21 rounds in them. 20 rounds caused them to swell. They wouldn't insert into my pistol. They sent a replacement spring and then a replacement magazine. They still don't fit in my 34 because they swell too much. They fit in the 19 just fine. ETS said I'm one of a handful of people who has narrow magwells that don't work with them.

    The magpuls on the other hand have been outstanding. I have a few thousand rounds through them. One magazine gave me issues initially but works fine now.

    Because Nothing says operator like clear magazines loaded with RIP rounds.

    I was very interested in ETS mags when they were new. They are a great bunch of people, but the mags are not serious use kit in both Glock and AR.

    When you have to reduce spring strength to keep from distorting mag bodies, your mags suck.

    CDNN has sales on OEM Mags. and I have purchased from them. $20.00 is a good deal. Not this Christmas but last i bought some P-Mags for my G17 (Lanbo's Armory) They are two counties over and with tax and shipping I bought two for just under $25.

    CONSENSUS: Factory and Magpul (when price is right again) Appreciate the RELIABLE info !
