When I bought my Glock 19 about 5 years ago, 10 round mags were the rule, without paying a fortune for factory pre-ban 15 rounders, and they were rare. And you really can't hardly get that 10th round in those factory 10 round magazines, the springs, lawyer dictated were so tight, and so they were really 9 round mags.
Today I bought a factory Glock 19 15 round mag at a local gun show and what a difference this made in loading and the balance of the gun. Loading 15 rounds was easy with the Glock loader, but I still down load 1 round as this is my practice.
I once wrote an essay in which I felt the Glock 19 was the perfect auto-loading pistol. I was reminded that it would be more perfect if I had 15 round magazines for it. True.
Now I have 5 extra rounds, and the Glock 19 feels so much better balanced, I guess because it was designed around this hi-cap mag. I bought a 17 round mag for my Glock 17 as well and I found the same results to be true. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a few more.
$23 for the G17 17 rounder - $25 for the G19. Probably can get them cheaper somewhere else, but I got em now and that is all that counts.
I now feel that my G19 and G17 are complete and I am a happy camper!
