This expert guide, drawing on extensive experience from a firearms instructor, compares aftermarket Glock magazines (Magpul, ETS) with factory Glock magazines. It highlights that while aftermarket options are cost-effective for training, factory magazines are recommended for self-defense and duty due to superior durability, particularly steel-reinforced feed lips. The guide details specific features and potential failure points of each type, enabling informed decisions based on application.
This review tests a second Remington RP9 to address reliability issues found in a previous unit. While the second pistol performed flawlessly with various ammunition, a consistent magazine design flaw was identified where rounds can jump feed lips upon forceful insertion, potentially causing malfunctions. Ergonomic critiques include a difficult slide release for left-handed users and a heavier slide attributed to its .45 ACP frame design.
This video from Brownells introduces and demonstrates the "Magazine Dent Tube Raiser." The product is designed to address issues with magazine feed lips that have become bent or damaged, potentially causing feeding malfunctions. The demonstration likely shows how to use the tool to carefully reshape these dented feed lips to restore proper magazine function. This is a practical gunsmithing tool for firearm owners experiencing magazine reliability problems.
