Glock 17 Magazines As Reloads For A Glock 19 Worth The Money?

[UNM1136]

I Carry a 17 round spare regardless of if I have a 26/19/17.

If you emptied the gun, why not have a full size mag for the reload? What is the downside to having those extra two rounds? They are universal reloads.

All the spares stashed in my vest, car, battle belt, are all 17s...

Just my .02

If you have already blown your load, and need to reload, why not reload with LOTS? You need to make sure all is safe in your grid square before holstering up.

I only carry spare 17 mags for my 19 and 26. They are much easier to grab out of a pouch and get a solid grip on without fumbling the reload.

$40 for a couple mags and $20 for enough ammo to make sure it works


I’m not sure how we got to a collective place where a lot of folk would rather ask for the knowledge of strangers than to try something for themselves.


Not intended to be rude I’m just saying.

Because if there's an obvious flaw that I've missed, I'd rather spend that 60 bucks on something else?

Wow, 5 pages of this discussion? It's not like the 17 mags cost $10 more than the 19 mags. just try one and see how you like it.

We can get it locked in flames or get to 50 pages if some mentions grip angle or not liking dogs......

Regarding adding extensions to 19 mags as opposed to buying stock 17s is there any concern for the durability (from being banged around, dropped on the ground during reloads, etc) of the 19 mag + the plus 2 extension vs the stock 17 mag?

I personally have not had problems with G17, G23, or G22 mags w/ factory +2s on them in this regard.

Been running some of these for years, they've been banged around, dropped in rocks and concrete, been put through hard use in general, like other mags I have.

Never a problem, so I would not hesitate to put some on G19 mags and expect the same.
