The Magpul PMAG GL9 27-round magazine transforms Glock 19 pistols into higher-capacity platforms without compromising reliability. This extended magazine delivers seven additional rounds over standard capacity while maintaining the proven PMAG polymer construction that has dominated the AR-15 market.
What Makes This Different
Unlike steel magazines that can dent or aluminum options that crack under stress, the PMAG GL9 uses Magpul's proprietary polymer blend engineered for impact resistance. The magazine features a constant-curve body geometry that reduces spring bind and ensures consistent feeding across all 27 rounds. Drop tests demonstrate the magazine survives repeated impacts that would damage traditional metal alternatives.
Key Features
- 27-round capacity increases firepower by 7 rounds over standard Glock magazines
- Impact-resistant polymer construction withstands drops and harsh conditions
- Constant-curve geometry eliminates spring bind for reliable feeding
- Anti-tilt follower prevents nose-diving and double-feeds
- Removable floorplate enables disassembly for cleaning and maintenance
- Compatible with Glock 19, 19X, 23, 32, and 38 pistols
- Textured grip surfaces provide secure handling during reloads
Range testing shows consistent feeding with both 115-grain FMJ and 147-grain hollow point ammunition across thousands of rounds. The extended length makes this magazine ideal for competition shooting where maximum capacity provides tactical advantages. Law enforcement agencies report reliable performance in duty applications, while the magazine's durability suits training environments where equipment sees heavy use.
