Are these mags crap ?

 

Korean made 15rd Glock-19 9mm mags

Mixed reviews, but for $6, I would go for it.

I would use them as range mags. Not for self defense.

At $6, buy a couple and try them out.  Not much lost, and even if they aren't that great as Lunker said use them at the range.

I bought a few of them to use in my JR Carbine and to my surprise they have been great. I have never used them in a pistol as I don't have a G19. I wanted to order the ones that will work for my 17/34 but I have never seen them in 10 rounders

 

Mine say KCI on the bottoms. I have heard some of them don't drop free so if that's important to you, you may want to research it. The KCI's I have do drop free.

I have about 15 of em....good mags. Never had a problem with them. Feel cheaper than OEM mags but function great.

The KCIs worked terribly in my JR Carbine.  Got rid of them and the JR Carbine.

I had two of them that I bought a couple of years ago.  I was happy to give them away for free; I didn't even want to deal with them as "range toys".

 

Some people have luck with them and find they work acceptably.  I was not one of them.,

I got some of these mags for my Gen 4 G22.  It would not drop free and requires a lot of force to shove in.  I called them afterwards to ask about the issue.  They asked if it was a Gen 4.  When I said yes, they said it was not compatible.  They took it back but I had to pay for shipping out of my own pocket.

 

I eventually went and got factory glock mags.  Good luck with them.

For 5 cups of Wawa coffee it makes sense to try and do a review.

Yes. They are crap in my experience.

 

Glocks rely on the mag springs for proper ejection. Don't skimp here. In my experience, magazines issues are the #1 cause for malfunctions in most modern quality pistols.

 

To take it a step further, you should spend a little extra on your mags. I use Wolf 10% over springs in all of my duty mags and swap them out every other year. The Wolf springs from the duty mags, which are basically brand new as they see a lot of carry time but very little actual use (very few cycles of compression and relaxation - maybe one mag dump a year when I shoot my duty ammo up and replace it with fresh stuff) go into my training and comp mags (which go through many hundreds of cycles in 2 years) when the new springs go into the duty mags.

 

The spring in the number 1 duty mag for each gun (the mags that primarily stay loaded in the gun all the time) gets chucked instead of "handed down" as that mags is constantly being downloaded by 1 - with the once chambered round going into the training bucket - and plussed back up again with a fresh and previously unchambered round while doing admin type stuff with the pistol.

I disagree with the notion of using garbage magazines for "range use."  First, you already spent all that money on the pistol, ammunition and range time, why create frustration of malfunctions to save a few bucks on cheap mags?  More importantly, if the gun has an actual problem you may not discover it because of falsely attributing malfunctions to bad magazines.

Thanks, I dont own a Glock but my dad and buddy do. I just wanted opinions before I shared the website.
