Magazine Identification?

[Analogkid]

Alright you handgun aficionados.... Any help identifying these two magazines? I have a buddy with these that came in a group of mags and we cannot figure out what brand/model they are for.

No idea but they look like garbage mags. I’m guessing pro mag or other for the Glock 17 based on the circular cutout at the front. That would also explain the weird ribs at the front apparently used as spacers.

 

[saiga308]

got a h&k look to it with the side groves

 

[saiga308]

the top lip cut away of the mag insert looks very close to the 40 cal h& k here but the Follower sticks out far?

 

[saiga308]

45 cal h&k check out the large base of the mag here looks very close but the locking catch is on the side on the op photos these h&k have the locking cut on the front face?odd?
side groves on this one

 

[saiga308]

heres the cuts on the side of the op photos thats for the mag release why two indentations?

 

[saiga308]

heres a sig sauer 45 and 40/357 compac with the cut mag release in the side looks about the same location as the op one

HK “ribs” go in, not out.

circular cutout at the front.

Yes, how about the half round hump on the front of mag base?

So, what pistols have round cutout in the front of grip?

No pistals have groves on the inside of the handle grip I know of they look like they are outside but they got to be inside groves

That is what is driving me insane. I remember seeing that pistol, because I remember cringing, envisioning the chunk of flesh my pinky would lose during a rapid reload. But, for the life of me, I can't remember what the pistol was, or where I saw it.

its just facade its only a 1 round extension so it doesnt have to to the magwell

Actually, I found the pistol I was thinking of. Glock Gen 5. Also found a picture of a magazine with the filler on the front, but I can't find availability. Maybe it was aftermarket?

Looks like USA Magazines made them some all-metal Glock mags, with very poor performance.

 

[saiga308]

now i see the mag heres a group of glock see the grrove ones

So what do I win?

Looks like they took the OEM Glock mag geometry for the inside dimensions for feeding, and added the ribs to compensate for the polymer coating.

Yep. Points for innovation and cost saving but I betcha a nickel the mags are worthless for anything but malfunction drills.
