    Magazine Shortage-Glock

    Anyone notice that the "standard" magazines (CA rules) for Glocks are on BACK-ORDER? I have checked most shops; on-line stores and magazines are all B/O. Got connection in AZ & CO, and managed to get a couple G17 mags.
    QUESTION is "WHY the shortage?"

    My guess is rebuilds are no longer legal in CA to purchase so people are opting for the limited 10 rounders. Been looking for some G21 10 rounders myself and my LGS wants $38 for one :/

      Ditto.

      Can't find 9mm 10 rounders.

      Was trying to SSE a Glock 41, but the LGS said it could only be sold without magazines as there's a shortage of 10 rounders since Jan 1.

        My guess is that NY's new law...even though they are limited to 7 rounds but it's OK to have 10 round magazine but only load up to 7 rounds. I am not sure if CA was the ONLY state that requires the 10 round mag but now all of a sudden all GLOCK owners in NY needs a low capacity magazine.
        This sux cause I am looking for them as well.

              If you got buddies in AZ and CO send them glock mag blocks and have them convert and send you the now legal mags.

                Yea, I'm looking for three G19 mags and it's a waiting game. No big deal, keep checking Calguns and members will post up who has them available.

                      If you are in the SFV/Burbank/Glendale area, Guns Direct has dozens of Glock mags on their shelves. I THINK they were priced at $35 each. Can't recall specific models but if you are looking, give them a ring. 818-848-4867.

                        when ppl try to buy mine (rather than trade) they usually dont like my price and say they can get them for 20 bucks all over the place.

                          I bought some kits & mags when I bought my G23. Glad I did. I also bought a bunch of PMAG 10 rounders.
                          Yes I took the pic, no I didn't go swimming!

                              Maybe now people will leave M&P magazines alone?
