Bought 3 of them after reading nothing but good reviews all over the place. Boy was that a mistake.

I had several TRIPLE feeds while shooting (had no idea that was even physically possible until today), at one point the mag got so stuck in the handle that it took me and two other range officers to get the darn thing loose. Stovepipes and double feeds were occurring probably every 6 rounds through those things.

In other news my 17 rd pmag that came with the sub 2k shot 100% fine with no issues at all - same ammo and everything.

The story on those mags might be different if you're shooting them through an actual Glock 17, but definitely not for the sub 2k.

My experience is very different. I bought two originally and they ran like a champ in my Gen 2. So I bought three more and they have also run perfectly. A couple do stick a bit in the magwell but so do my Glock factory fun sticks. Three of the SGMs drop free. No misfeeds at all with mine. The SGMs run great in my dedicated 9mm AR as well.

I have two that have been loaded & fired 4 times each... no issues.

EDIT: I miss identified the mags... mine are ETS Glock 18 31 rounders, sorry about that.

What are the best off brand magazines and where are the best websites to find them ? Are the ETS and SGM the Korean company ? My s2k is in the .40 flavor. Also are there any websites that sell used mags ?

 

[cationgun]

I have sent SGM Tactical an email regarding the issue, could be bad eggs but I am doubtful considering the same issues happened with all 3 of those mags and they were brand new from CTD.

I was under the impression that SGM Tactical made the best korean mags, I think hickock45 even did a video using them.

ETS are made right here in America

Did you have any issues getting the ETS mag to drop? My 22 rd mag doesnt fall out and it was difficult to pull it out of the grip. I had to use a tool to push it down from the chamber/ejection port.

I need to test fire my SGM but the 33rd mags work fine.
I added a +12 extension on mine.

No issues here, but they are now in my G17s and the G18 mags are in my SUB 2000s.

I have one of the ETS mags. It does not drop free from my Gen 2 sub, but I can pull it out without much effort.

What are G18 mags?

What are G18 mags?

SMG is a copy of the original G18 Glock mags.

My older G18 mags were made in AUSTRIA

Got a response back from SGM Tactical today, they want me to try bending the feed lips inward slightly - I also suspected that this could be an issue. They're offering to have me send them in for inspection and replacement if I can't get it to work after trying that, so at least a solid props to them for getting back to me on the issue.

I don't exactly feel like shelling out $40-$50 for a glock mag if I don't have to. However any of you here who shot through the '94 AWB probably know that those prices have been way worse in the past

Midway has the real deal for $36.

^yep. I believe thats their regular price. I grabbed a few more not to long ago.

 

[EastPhilly]

My SGMs worked perfectly for me (besides my ammo causing problems). My only problem is that the SGM seemed to lose a little sliver of polymer one time after shooting it out of the S2K. No problems though.

As for the ETS mags they also worked perfectly fine for me. I only ever had problems getting them out of the S2K as they stuck a little bit (both the 31rd mag and the 17rd mag).

ATG periodically carries the G18 (33rd) mags for $35..... if you do see them pop up, plan on ordering them as they disappear very quickly, sometimes within an hour or less.... I'm suprised the prices haven't climbed up with everything else in the past few years; so this is a good time to invest...... Only genuine Glock mags for my pistols and sub...

Hey guys, I just picked up a OD Sub2k and picked up 4 of these at Lanbos for ~14 each. Just ran through them the day I picked it up. My only issue was on one mag I inserted it and the smacked the bottom while the bolt was open and it over inserted. I released the bolt and it didn't fire and the bolt was stuck on the mag. I actually had to ask the range officer for help to pull it out. I held it down and pressed the mag release and he had to pull dang hard to get it out. After that no issues. I just need to remember no need to give the mag the extra smack unless the bolt is closed.

I was lurking here while waiting for my sub 2k and mags to arrive and got a little worried. But they run great.

Same issue happened to me, however it took two ROs and me to get mine out, haha.

Picked up a OEM glock mag this week, will take all of them out to the range and do some more testing. My money is on nothing goofy happening with the glock mag, however I have bent the lips on the SGM mags inwards a bit more with a pair of pliers, so i'll see if that reduces the double feeds a bit more.

I also had some issues with one of the three that I bought. Mine now work good after lightly using a file around the outside edges of the plastic followers. The sharp edges seemed to be why they would keep hanging up.
