When the going gets tough…..
The Glock-manufactured G18 mags have arrived. If you didnt know, the Glock 18 is the full auto version of the Glock 17 (shown in photo). Since the Glock 18 is a machine pistol it needs a fairly healthy magazine…hence the 31-rd magazines. I’ve been wanting some for myself for a while now….yeah they look John Wayne, yeah you cant conceal them when in the gun. So why have them? Couple of reasons:
a) for a nightstand gun that you dont want to have to hassle with spare mags
b) for when in a vehicle and you need maximum firepower from your pistol and cant reload due to space, or the fact that youre trying to drive with your other hand
c) Ive been wanting a KelTec 9mm carbine and I refuse to limit myself to a 17 round magazine for a carbine
d) if the ban ever comes back, these things will be like a license to print money
The mag pouch is a Blackhawj MP5 mag pouch. Fits fine.
I bought a Scherer brand mag to use but was disappointed in its reliability. Lessen learned: stick with OEM. I’ll be taking these things to the range in a few days to function test. (Which is gonna suck down alot of ammo.)
And, for the big Omega Man moment, a Glock in each hand with a 31-rd mag. Should be entertaining.
SWEET! How were you able to get it? I thought that even with a license, the Feds outlawed civilian sales of full autos made after a certain date.
Reread….”Shown in photo’ meant that the gun shown was a 17, not an 18. however, if youd like an 18 the schematics are available online if you search for the patent application for a conversion.
Its just G18 mags, gun pictured is a 17.
