But at least they're replacing them.

Luis - maybe you're one of those lucky guys. Guess that makes them limited edition, right? [:D]

At least they're fixing them. Now lets see if ETS gets it right.

I hope Glock doesn't sue them for infringement on magazine feature/geometry design. ..

I'm guessing Glock's patent has long run its course, depending on design improvements.

Even Glock has tweaked their own mags over the years, with different followers, springs, bodies and such. I would think it would be even more difficult for a non-OEM supplier to figure out the equation for a proprietary mag. I wouldn't be surprised to see additional revisions by Magpul, as the product evolves. At least with this mag there should be some consistency in the gun it's designed for, unlike the AR market that has numerous manufacturers who may, or may not follow particular specs.

I stand by my initial assessment unless something changes besides geometry

I'm sticking with factory Glock mags.

I picked up 3 to test out. Haven't fired them, but I am a little concerned about the polymer feed lips. Doubt I would ever use them as a duty mag, but will use them on the range.

I was glad I didn't buy any. Learned to just wait it out for a while when something new comes out. Get all the kinks out. Especially since it was going to be used on a 19 and 26.

How did magpul screw this up so badly? Did they not run the mags to empty on the g19/g26? I also read another review that mentions they aren't stamped with capacity or caliber. Seems pretty dumb not to have that info.

I do give Magpul credit for how they handled it. They came right out, addressed the issue and resolved it right away. That's better than 90% of companies that would dodge the issue. However... i still cant figure out how no one ran G19s/G26s to slide lock or missed issues on the G19/G26. Someone's head should roll, especially on a product launch this big.
