Gen5 Glock 19 10 round magazines

[eric0311]

Alright folks, I apologize about the delay in testing results... I was waiting on the latest batch of test ammo to ship. I tested the following loads through my Gen5 19 MOS, using the same (2) test sample Gen 5 G19 10 round magazines (w/ 2183-2 Orange followers):

50 rounds Speer 147gr G2
50 rounds Hornady Critical Duty 135gr Flex Lock
50 rounds Federal 124gr HST
200 rounds Winchester 115gr FMJ White Box
*the HST by far, had the largest diameter hollow-point of any rounds fired to date*

ZERO malfunctions/or failure to feed stoppages with any rounds today.

Stay tuned for more testing... so far so good!

Eric, this is great, and nicely dovetails in my testing of current Glock G19 10 round magazines in my Gen 3 G19, as discussed in this concurrently running thread: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....ative-Upgrades

My question is regarding your orange followers, can you please check the markings on them? My current Glock parts list specifies that the only Orange followers for a Gen 5 are part number 52332, marked "7" or part number 1265, marked "2" but that the 2183 part number follower for G19 10 round magazines (marked "2183-2") (good up through Gen4) and black.

I'm also querying a source in Glock. The great news is that whatever the follower in your Gen5/Gen5 10 round magazines, they're working.

Best, Jon

The Gen5 G19 10 round magazines that I have been testing both have 2183-2 Orange followers.

This is good news. Thanks for buying and testing these mags. In my case, not owning a G19, my favored “pinkie rest,” for a G26, when ultra-concealment is not vital, is a G19 mag. I do not live in a capacity-limited state, but do visit or pass through such places.

No worries! I’m glad these tests can dispel some “inter webs” lore regarding the OEM Gen5 10 rounders. I’m going to keep running as many JHPs, from different manufacturers, through these things as I can.

As it stands, I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for carry.

It is about time that Glock redesigned their 10 round magazines. I was told by someone in the know the Fed was particularly hard on Glock during the 1994 AWB, and rejected their initial design.

Absolutely… I’m looking forward to leaving these things in a gear bin, permanently, once these laws get struck down (fingers crossed!).

Unfortunately, I think we will all (in the USA) see a permanent federal ban within the next 15 years.

That’s awesome! Thank you for posting to this study… I don’t know for certain but I think Glock may have changed something with these Gen5 G19 10 rounders…. Something for the better!

Glad to hear that the Gen5 mags are reliable. Are they the orange 9mm6 followers? from what I've heard, the 10-round magazines with the 2183 followers give their owners nothing but trouble.

The Gen5 orange follower is the same as the Gen3-Gen4 follower except for the color.
