Glock Maganizes

[ENVPMBR Shooter]

I want to make my mags fall out of the gun quicker, does anyone have any suggestions. The reason if for USPSA shooting. I find that the glock mags tend to have some friction.

There are Drop Free and Non Drop Free mags. You may not have Drop Free mags and they stick in the mag well.

I just bought 2 used ones i guess i got the non drop ones. I was wondering why they where sticking. i guess 2 for $24 was ok though.

Assuming your mags are drop free;

Go to a motorcycle/atv shop and buy this stuff:

I use it to clean the outside (and inside) of the magazines and also to clean the inside of the grip.

If you are in or near Gonzales, the Yamaha ATV Center on Hwy 44 near Hwy 30 has it. That's where I got mine.

If you see a metal lining in the little holes that are number for how many rounds there are, then they are drop free. Theres a picture floating around somewhere showing the difference.

Thanks bud. I think they are all drop free mags

The ones i got that are sticking look like this

I don't have them in front of me but i believe the ones without the notch are drop free.

here is a page that explain the 4 different types. http://www.taylorfreelance.com/magprobs.htm

No, we're going to Area 4 in North LA.

No notch doesn't equal non-drop free. There are pictures floating around the internet of the back of the top of the mag that show what's what. I'll try to find it.

Point the pistol up a few degrees when you drop the mag, since the Glock has a pretty steep grip angle. The more you can make them fall straight down instead of sliding back, the closer to 9.8 m/s/s you should get

When I clean mine, I can get them to drop out with the grip damn near horizontal.

Having the grip completely vertical isn't very helpful to a fast reload, either.

Nothing sucks worse than trying to jam your magazine into the basepad of another magazine.
