Mixing different Gen mags in Glocks?

Cool, thanks @WDR!

Is it just the 19X or the G45 as well? My preferred pusher is under the impression the floor plate has to be changed or modified for G5 mags to be used in any earlier gen 17/19.

It’s just the G19X. Every other doublestack Glock can use any of the mags of its caliber provided that you’re using a right handed mag catch for the mags that don’t have the ambidextrous cuts.

Having shot a Glock 17 since 1989. I will tell you that there have been substantial improvements in Glock factory magazines over the past 30 years.

If I were running an older Glock, a generation 1-4, for anything serious, I would prefer to use the current Gen 5 magazines. They are the product of 30 years of lessons learned and engineering refinement.

This is the only catch (pun intended).
