Question about Glock Mags:

Postby Seismic Sam on Sat May 25, 2013 9:26 am

Found something at the range that will be in another post, but a question occurred to me that I don't know the answer to:

Are Glock mags somewhat interchangeable?? Seeing as Glock makes a huge assortment of guns, and they all have boxy double stack construction, did they standardize the width to some degree? For example, would a Glock 9mm mag "more or less" fit in a 40, and would a .40 Glock mag "more or less" fit in a 45?? I know EAA 40 and 10mm mags are "kinda" interchangeable, as long as you don't try to put 10mm ammo in a 40 mag. You may be able to see where this is going to go, but I thought I'd ask the question to see what the answer might be. Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!!

9 and 40 are "pretty much" interchangable, as they will fit in the wrong caliber weapon.

I think the .45GAP mags will fit in the 9mm/.40/.357sig frames, as well.

Also--10mm/.45acp mags will fit in the other caliber (ie, G20 in a G21).

About the only Glock with unique mags is the G36.

Thank you!! Further searching yielded a hit on the Mech-Tech system to use a Glock frames as part of a carbine configuration, and they did state that mags from the 45 and 10mm were interchangeable, and that you should NOT try firing a 10mm in a 45 configuration!! DUUUHHH!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:

Unfortunately, this interchangability has occurred with shooters who aren't paying attention, and/or are TFSTKTD, and I was trying to figure out how it would be possible to load 40 ammo in a 45 mag, and didn't think THAT was possible.

Back during the ban years I used a Glock 23 10 round mag in a Glock 19 - it held 13 rounds of 9mm and always worked. Glock 22 mags will also work in your 17.
When I see five weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy.

here is a chart that I believe shows compatability. I was in the field till 4am, so my thinker isn't too speedy, correct me if I'm wrong.

A couple weeks ago I saw one of these conversions for sale under $300, trying to locate it again..

EDIT- Bingo, but the price can't be right!

Back to the topic, sorry! I've thought about finding larger high cap mags for my 19, but realized it defeats the purpose for me. :lol:

I've seen that kit before -- about $600. The bonus is that I'd have to pick up a G20 too so I have the frame for it to ride on.
