Gen 3 Glock 19, memory question..

[mgfguevara]

My first hand gun was a Glock 19, it was an RTF2 and I loved the gun to death. I also remmember the magazine capacity being 17rds. A bunch of trading later, I ended up getting 2 BNIB Glock 19s, one was made in Austria and one in the USA. I noticed the magazine capacity is only 15rds did this change or is my memory already gone?

I know I can run 17 magazines and have the capacity we are talking about. I also have a pearce and glock plus 2 extensiosn on the current 15rd magazines. Leads to the second part of my question, I can only get 16rds in. Not 17... +2 for 9mm and im still at 16rds.

What is wrong? Am i crazy?

Glock 19 flat bottom mags are made for 15 rounds. Unless it had an extension or was an aftermarket mag I'm not aware of it will only hold 15. I don't overload mags because I've seen reliability issues from it.

As for the +2 mags, they may not be put on correctly or there is something in the mag bottom stopping the last round. Have you took the mags apart?

17 round mag is for the glock 17

The original magazine, that I remember being a glock 19 magazine was factory and was bought new. The current magazines, 15rd with the plus 2 extensions were recently put on.

Glock used to sell +2 mags for a lot of their pistols back in the early to mid 90s. I think they quit selling those a long time ago........
