What's the most reliable 30 round Glock magazines for a PCC?

Tool · February 24, 2025, 05:25 PM

Most of the high capacity Glock magazines are so cheap. Are there higher-end Glock magazines that are more premium and reliable? Thanks

I use original Glocks for my Glocks and my Ruger PCC

I have a couple of factory magazines. They are 31 round mags but come from the factory with +2 extensions bringing the total to 33 rounds. I've had them for years and never had an issue in multiple guns. G26, G19, and G17 pistols.

MagPul makes or at least used to make some 25 round mags. I have one of those. It works too but I'm not certain they still make them.

You can also find Glock factory mags for the G19X. They are 17 round magazines with factory +2 extensions on them.

I've never tried anything else, but Glock factory and MagPul magazines are not particularly expensive. I see no reason to try anything else.

Many thanks for all the replies. It seems that the OEM Glock magazines and MagPul ones are indeed the primary choices.

ETS magazines are a lifetime guaranty. I have 16 of the 40 round mags and they function as well as Glock mags.

A friend and I did not get real good Glock operation from ETS magazines, but we passed them on to a PCC shooter where they did fine.

Surprising, I also run the 21 round mags in my 34 without issue.

Found that to be the case as well. I think the ETS Glock mags require a fixed barrel to function properly and those will only be found in rifles.

I have never had issues with any Glock pattern mag regardless of the brand in any PCC ever. So for the OP, buy whatever you want. Still have to test it, but in general you're good to go.

I have been using MagPul extended magazines with my Ruger PCC 9mm. So far, so good.

factory glock 33rnd mags are reliable and dependable.

I use the Magpul 27 round mags in my Ruger. There have been zero issues so far.
