Well, Thought some of you may want to know what some G17 mags look like after 50,000 rounds through the 3 of them. They all have the original parts and function 100% and get this–they drop free as well:eek:
And you guessed it–I didn’t get gloves for Christmas!
I have some G17 mags that look pretty bad like that too. Blackwaters gravel is hell on mags, when I used to shoot a lot of indoor matches the concrete at Shooters Paradise was pretty abrasive too.
The beauty of it is how cheap replacement mags are for Glocks.
Nothing has been replaced on them. I’m cheap and painted the base plates to ID them as my training mags. Easy to tell now though. I’ve trimmed guages with my knife and pulled shell casing off them when stepped on.
I wanted to start the thread because of the mag issues some people may not be aware of. I’m sure there’s mags elsewhere that have received equal or greater use and they still work. Great testiment to quality.
There’s a holstered pic of one on the AK dirt test thread(other assault rifles) It’s a standard G17 with Trijicons with some holster wear, nothing else.
