    I’m sure somebody somewhere has already asked the question. Are promags all that terrible and would they be ok for a range toy? I saw some 33 rnd Glock mags for sale last night for 40 bucks I believe. 5 feet down I see the promags for half the price. I figure I can get 2 for the price of one and if one breaks I still have another one. I already know I wouldn’t trust my life with these so I don’t need all the responses about that issue. All I want to know is will they feed properly, will the bolt catch, and can they take being dropped a couple times here and there doing some reloads. Thanks y’all!

    I have a few Korean knock offs that don’t feed worth a crap. They will help you with malfunction drills so they do serve somewhat of a purpose. I say spend the money on a factory mag.

    After going and looking again the price is only 10 dollars difference. With just that minimal of cost difference I’ll just go ahead and get the OEM mags. Anybody know a good place to buy 33rnd Glock mags for a decent price?

    Ammunition Depot has the OEM Glock 33 round magazines for $33 each.

    Go with the SGM mags at gunmagwarehouse.com



    They are about 17 bucks and built nearly identical to the Glock fun sticks, steel tube frame and all. I thought we covered this.

    Be sure to read the part about the 5 year warranty and built to exceed OEM specs.
    I’ve shot over a thousand rounds from AR 9 type carbines with these mags and I don’t even bother keeping them separate from the Glock OEM mags now as there’s no point. They function and hold up just as good. If you decide to take the range toy into combat and just want to feel better, spend twice as much on some Glock brand mags.

    I currently use the ETS mags for my AR9 and have no issues so far with them. Using regular 115gr and 147gr rounds.

    How about magpul mags. They seem to work well and aren’t expensive. I was buying the G17 models awhile back for $9.99
