Glock 19 Magazine Question
I have a Glock 19 (Gen 3 ?) and I'm looking for extra magazines. I see that MidwayUSA had Gen 4 magazines for about $26, so I am wondering if those will work in my current Glock 19?

Yes they will. But there are better prices out there.
Gunbuyer for $18.99 https://www.gunbuyer.com/p-62437-glo...x#.VNEHJtKl58E CDNN has them for $19.99 but they are currently out of stock. |

Yes they will work.
To clarify (hopefully)... If I'm correct, the Gen 4 pistols have a reversible mag release. Therefore, the gen 4 mags have to have notches on both sides to accomodate this reversibility and that's the only difference in Gen 3 vs Gen 4 mags. |

Not that I've ever tried to reverse the mag release on a G19, but my understanding is the same as jmhyer's.

Just to clarify for the OP: Your Gen 3 Glock will accept any Glock 19 mag that you find, no matter when it was made. A Gen 4 Glock will also accept any Glock 19 mag unless the user has switched the mag catch for left-handed use, in which case only the Gen 4 mags will work.
Glock has been selling only the Gen 4 mags for several years now, even with their Gen 3 guns. Oh, and welcome to TFL!

I use the Korean mags for practice. Cheap, work fine, and saves wear and tear of my factory mags.
Wideners has them for $9 each....... https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail....83&dir=625|709 |

I saw those magpull glock magazines. I am holding out to buy more mags for my 19 until I get a chance to grab one of the magpull ones.
