The Magpul PMAG GL9 delivers reliable feeding and enhanced durability for Glock 19 pistols. This 15-round polymer magazine addresses common feeding issues while providing the robust construction Magpul is known for in the rifle magazine market.
What Makes This Different

The reinforced polymer construction resists cracking and deformation under stress, while the textured exterior provides secure grip during tactical reloads. Independent testing shows improved feeding reliability with a wider range of bullet profiles compared to factory magazines.
