    ETS Glock Magazines

    Anyone have any insight as to how well the 10 round glock 19 mags work from ETS?

    I have two. They work fine with 9 rounds, but they jam with 10 in. Springs too tight. I've left them loaded for a month with no change. I won't be buying again. Bummer...I wanted them to work as they are priced great.

      They're absolutely horrible, can barely load them. Also left them loaded for well over a month and same problem, no change in usability.

      Bought more Glock OEM 10 rounders and haven't had any trouble. The few dollar savings on ETS mags cost me a lot.

        Factory mags. In most handguns, accept no substitutes.

          I got one for free and shot a class recently with it in the rotation of OEMs. The transparency is neat but not really needed. The springs were very stiff. I haven't had them long so don't know if they'll relax some. Didn't have any problems using it. From my very limited experience they seem like ok mags if you're on a budget. I'll keep the one I got but will be buying OEM.

            I was shooting a match with the fellow shooter and he had them in his Glock and they did not work… He wasted his money

              All mine have cycled perfect (bought 5). No fte's or FTF's. The loading part is a pain. They sit longer also in the gun. If I were going to do anything it would be putting glock factory may springs in em'

                FYI leaving a spring compressed won't wear them out. It's compression and expansion that wears down springs.

                  Correct, however ETS said here before to leave them fully loaded to basically break them in. The spring was certainly shorter but tension is the same.

                      I have been running three of their 10 round G19 mags for about 3 weeks now. Like everyone else the springs are extremely stiff and I needed a mag loader to load when I first got them. In fact on one of the mags with the 10th round loaded I could not even insert it into the magwell it was so swollen. I contacted their customer service and they responded right away. They instructed me to shoot them and that the springs would soften up and if they didn't they would send me new springs. Also that they have a lifetime warranty.

                      I shot them each a few times and the springs softened a little and the mags inserted and dropped freely. After my last time at the range I took them apart and one of the followers had a small chip in it. I once again contacted their CS who responded right away by sending me three new followers and different springs. I received them yesterday and the new springs seem a bit softer, but I have not shot them yet.

                      I have had zero issues with the how the magazines functioned after cycling them a few times. The verdict is still out if I will buy more, but I will continue to run them and if they break I will contact their CS again.

                          Buy Glock magazines if you want reliability.

                          You can shop online and find decent prices for original Glock mags.
                          Discounts for packs of three.

                            I was on the original pre order. Like others mine were extremely stiff, after complaining they developed a lighter spring and I just got mine (they sent them at no charge to me). First impression is it is much better with the lighter spring. But I need to spend a day at the range to fully test them. So for now, I'm optimistic about them. I will say there customer service has been good to me, and they offer a 100% satisfaction garuntee.

                              Factory Glock 10 round mags are great for the range but like to jam with JHP ammo.
