Overview

The Magpul PMAG 17 GL9 is the full-capacity alternative to factory Glock magazines, matching the 17-round capacity of OEM G17 magazines at roughly half the price. Engineered with the same attention to detail that made Magpul's AR magazines the industry standard, the GL9 17 delivers exceptional reliability that rivals or exceeds factory magazines.

The magazine body uses Magpul's proprietary polymer blend, designed to resist impact damage and maintain function in temperature extremes. Inside, the constant-curve feed path and four-way anti-tilt follower eliminate the feeding issues that plague inferior aftermarket magazines. The steel spring is precisely calibrated to provide consistent round presentation from first to last.

For Glock owners seeking reliable magazines at an affordable price point, the PMAG 17 GL9 is the obvious choice. Whether equipping a full-size G17, G34 competition pistol, or a Glock-compatible PCC, this magazine delivers proven performance backed by Magpul's reputation for quality. Many professional instructors recommend the GL9 series as their go-to budget-friendly Glock magazine.
