.45 ACP after market Glock Mags?

Post by Chiro1989 »

I keep thinking I "need" a FoxTrotMike PCC in .45 ACP, has anyone had any luck with an aftermarket magazine that has a higher capacity than the OEM 13 rounders?

I have the FM upper with a JoeBob receiver and of my three 26 round magazines, even after much tinkering, I've never been able to empty a full mag without a hiccup. The Glock mags work flawlessly.

No idea if it's pertinent to your situation but the 3d print files for damn near every glock mag is online. I guarantee someone has an extended design.

Dude, I barely have time to use the bathroom most days, if only I had enough time and talent to 3D print Glock mags...

I agree, but, 13 rounds goes fast and reloading mags is annoying

A PCC in 9mm that takes Glock mags is way more smarterer.

The main issue was the mags locking in too deeply in the receiver and the bolt actually hitting the back of the mag instead of just stripping a round off. Filing the notch got them to work past being a single shot but the feed lips don't lend themselves to tuning and even 230gr ball isn't 100% with them. They might be made to work but I got lazy and quit messing with them. I love the gun though and plan to put a can on it.

I wish Magpul would get on it

Magpul ain’t about to make an extendo-mago for a .45 acp. Not near enough interest.
