Does anyone know what's with the notch cut out on the top of the Gen. 4 Glock mags? I just picked up 2 New G19 magazines & asked the guy who was selling them but he had no clue, only that they would fit all G19's. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!http://www.pafoa.org/forum/imagehost...e94fc46e07.jpg
Something to do with the ambidextrous magazine release and possibly something to do with the safety. I think the safety will be a option.
It is for the new glock with mag realeases on both sides as the above member stated. the new mags will fit the old single release glocks, but the old mags will not work on the new glock with duel mag release.
I bought up all the old style mags last year. I think the notch impedes reloads, IMO. (I wont buy any of the new type).
I got 5 of the new 4th Gen mags for my new G17 and the work just fine.
I have 3 - 4th gen mag(square notch), and 3 older(U notch - 2 - 17rder, and 1 - 10rder), and they ALL drop free, except 10rd NY mag.
I appreciate all of the feedback. The clarification and opinions are greatly appreciated.
THe reason for the center cut is due to the multi mag release option that should be coming for all Glocks. The newer Glock 21 SF has a mag release on the left and right. The only way to accomplish this feat is by having a center cut release on the mag.
The way the GEN 4 mag was designed was to work with new style and old style mags.
I hope this helps.
