    Glock 23 OEM magazines

    I usually make a habit of counting rounds while theyre going in the magazine, and again when theyre leaving the chamber. I was at the range reloading, chatting away, and didnt take count. After unloading 10 rounds, the slide wasn't kicked back- and there was an 11th round in the chamber. Much to my surprise my 10rd mags are now 11rd. Reloaded the mags, and another 11 loaded.

    I bought these used, and they didnt show much if any wear. Used them at the range about 20 or so times, and i store them loaded.

    Is this a common thing with glock magazines? Is loading 11rds bad for the life and usefulness of the mag? is cali coming after me? [emoji28]

    My 23 mags barely load 10 after 500+ loadings


    My guess is someone trimmed something to make loading the 10th round easier.

    Loading 11 probably will damage the spring- overcompression

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

      Can you disassemble the mag and check the bottom of the follower? Did someone trim the tabs that keep the follower level and from over compressing the spring?

        Thanks hermosa, follower looks normal. I have always had a tendency to overtighten/overdo things..

          I usually need a hydrolic press to get the 10th round in my G19 mag.
          I dreamed of owning a (insert off roster gun here)...

          Oh yeah....then the earth splits open with me on one side and the (off roster gun) on the other. Then appeared a large red-glowing pit with gavin newscum, diane frankenstein and governor "brown the drain" at the bottom of it, waving their pitchforks at me.
