    Questionable Vendor

    I wanted to test out Botach Tactical products so I decided to start with their basic product which was a Glock 17 magazine. I had it for only a few weeks and started noticing that the magazine would make my gun failure to lock back and it would double feed rounds. I let the customer service know about this problem and they fail to exchange even this insignificant item. I would never buy from them again and I will let you make your own decision about their online store.

    Have you searched around here for botach? It is very hit or miss, with it mostly being miss.

      I was recommended by my action pistol group but was very disappointed by their customer service.

        Are you saying that you have a problem with an OEM Glock magazine? You also had the item longer than their stated return policy and you are blaming them for their policy. In any case, it sounds like you need to contact Glock instead.

              so you want them to change their policy? why didn't you return it sooner? contact the manufacturer to see what they can do to help.

                This. I'm still waiting for over $100 in mags I bought (and paid for) well over a year ago. No response to Emails, etc.

                As mentioned, a search here or on Google will come up with many, many, many, many similar issues. caveat emptor, just write the mags off and move one.

                      NOWHERE does Botach claim or certify the magazines are GLOCK OEM. Glock and many other manufactures have other companies like Leapers manufacture their magazines to a STRICT standard. They then have that company send the magazines to a shipping warehouse for distribution to companies. The original manufacture in many cases sells the magazines that failed inspection as blems. Its illegal, its against their contract but its overlooked by the OEM. The manufacture gives HUGE discounts to the OEM.

                      So that Glock magazine...probably is a gray market QA failed item.

                      Unless a vendor displays a certified distributorship logo or States OEM parts, you never know where they are getting those parts.

                            If it a Glock OEM, then send it back to Glock. They will replace it.

                              There is no way Glock owns 100% of its magazine building shops. That business model would be crazy. I am sure they have some plants and maybe some small shops inside a Glock factory, but to supply the WORLD with Glocks mags means thousands must be produced every day.

                              In the whole of the firearms world, I bet thousands of Glock magazines are bought daily...which means thousands need to be made.
                              I am not saying Leapers makes them, but a company like leapers COULD produce thousands a day...thats all they do.

                              I am sure if you called glock they will tell you 100% of all magazines are made at their plant. Every company I have inspected tells customers they manufacture 100% of their goods, but its rarely true.

                              I have seen Glock Blem Magazines... you buy them on a website and they don't work right.
