You can never really have enough spare magazines, but sometimes the cost of mags can limit you. While OEM mags are always a great way to go, they also generally tend to be more expensive. Fortunately, there are a lot of aftermarket options available these days, particularly for popular pistols like the Glock 19. Strike Industries just dropped a new mag for the 19 this week and it’s very affordable.
The Strike Magazine for Glock 19 has a 15-round capacity and uses a smoked translucent mag body that that lets you visually check the rounds left in your mag. It has a bright orange follower, extra power mag spring and a quick, toolless take down base plate for easy cleaning and disassembly. It also has drainage holes and there are ID markers available if you like to mark your mags. The Strike Magazine has ambidextrous magazine release cuts too, so it’ll work with any generation of Glock pistol.
If you need extra capacity the mags are compatible with Strike’s polymer and aluminum extended magazine base plates, which can kick your capacity up to 20 rounds.
The Strike Magazine’s for Glock 19 are only $11.95 each, or you can get a 5 pack of unassembled mags for $49.95. Obviously, mags need to be reliable to be worthwhile, but Strike Industries vouches they’ve tested them with a wide range of popular ammo types and at that price you can easily afford to grab a couple and try them out for yourself.
Cool
Two no news articles in a row, do I detect a trend here?
$10 Glock mags? Absolutely! Been using the extend clear ETS mags for competition for a while and am very impressed with their performance. What’s not to like about even cheaper ones that work.
Why is there a goofy watermark over all the images? It’s not like this is stock imagery.
I personally never have had any luck with aftermarket magazines. These magazines look so cheap I would not give even a nickel for one of them.
Jerry do you even own guns to buy magazines for?
Not even Mad Magazine? Must be a good fit, since you picked it.
You also never know if a magazine ban might come to your state. Remembering the 94 Clinton magazine ban, I accumulated quite a few (especially AR15 and Glock) magazines before my state (WA) implemented a magazine ban a couple years ago.
why unassembled?
Wild guess, in case they are going to states like mine where different springs/internals would be needed.
Quantity purchase. No assembly labor costs…that’s my guess.
NY requires different spring rates?
Capacity limits so typically involves either a crimped magazine shell (metal so doesn’t apply here) or an internal block and different springs for 10 rounds vs whatever the original was.
Strike makes decent stuff, clear polymer mags are not my bag however if they prove reliable at that price…well duh.
Plastic mags are always crap in the long run. No plastic can hold up to the stress that the feed lips endure over the long term.
Magpul has proven you wrong for decades now, though I would prefer glock mags to be metal lined.
i wonder if they make 10-round mags for those excursions out of the USA to enemy-occupied territory.
Plastic magazines for plastic gunms.
I purchased an Eagle brand plastic magazine for a rifle once. The rifle was wood and steel so the plastic magazine jammed a lot. Plastic magazines only work with plastic gunms.
But why? You can buy factory Glock mags as low as $50 for a 5 pack.
Now, if they made Staccato mags for $12…
