Heads Up - Aftermarket Glock Magazines

[Black Blade]

I have a few of the Korean Military contract KCI and Kahn 9mm Glock magazines and they function flawlessly in my Glocks. There is a special deal at "Cheaper Than Dirt" for KCI Glock 17 magazines - They are now at cheaperthandirt.com at 2 magazines for $ 10 plus a free carrier. I'm picking up a few more myself.

Using non-OEM pistol magazines is just begging for trouble.

Spend the money for the right parts.

They should be just fine for range practice. I would personally not trust them for carry use, based on vaguely recalled posts involving broken mag baseplates when dropped, jammed springs, and the like on warriortalk.com.

That being said, I just ordered another half dozen or so. ;D

I just got in more from CTD on their special 2 Kahn G17 magazines and dbl mag carrier for $9.97. So far I have had no problems with KCI and Kahn magazines over the last couple years and after a few thousand rounds. I can't speak for everybody though but for me they have been as reliable as factory mags (of which I have a quite a few).
