I recently added a JR Carbine to the safe. AR ergos, 9mm, uses Glock mags. Comes with a G17 10 round magazine. Did some searching, and have only found 10 and 17 round capacity. I have found 15 round G19 mags. Are the two essentially the same, aside from overall length? I think I read that 17 mags will fit a 19, as it is a full size gun, but the 19's will not fit into a 17 because it is more compact. If they are similar in shape and design, the carbine is not limited by the overall length of the magazine. Thanks in advance.

not sure I get all of what your saying but the magazines are the same shape. The mag should work but the 19 is definitely shorter. If The 17 mag hangs below the grip of the gun, then I would try a 19 mag.

Here's what it looks like with the G17 10 round installed.

 

Yeah the g19 mag should work without issue.

Excellent, thank you.

The g26 subcompact mags would probably fit too.

For just range use the KCI (Korean) mags should work just fine @$10 each. Use mags for G19.

I ordered some genuine Glock mags, and will eventually order some of the KCI's.

Keep an eye out, last year I loaded up on the KCI mags for my G19, they were something like 12 or 13 bucks for the pair and that came with a nylon double mag holder.

CDNN has the asian Glock mags (not sure if they're KCI or some other brand) on sale for $5.99 this weekend:

I'm pretty sure there single stack, so they won't work. On another note g17 mags work in a g19, as said before they will work.

G26 seem to be double stack. The NJ legal g17 mags are single stack.

 

They will all work, but the g19 is the best bang for the buck. I also think the asian cdnn deal is great.

They're doubles

 

 

 

Glock 26 can accept 26, 19, and 17 mags.

Wow, lol sry bout that. I assumed all the Glock sub compacts were single stack like the glock 36. Oh well lol

Actually all Glocks except the 36 are double stack.
