 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're going to do a torture test with the Magpul PMAG GL9 Glock 19 magazine versus a Glock OEM Glock 19 magazine We're gonna check them out There are some differences, but Magpul says it's extremely reliable the handgun We're going to use is a Palmetto State Armory dagger. Let's first make sure Both of these magazines are functioning as is All right, very good slide locks back Here we have the Glock 19 mag All right, so we're off to a good start. We have two functioning magazines. Now if we look at these You can see that the Glock 19 mag here has steel inserts. This is primarily polymer when you feel them The Glock mag is much more sturdy. However, there is a price difference at Palmetto State Armory right now This is selling for $12 and 30 cents. That's not bad All right, so a lot of people said they like it. I had some people said they don't like it It has a sight hole at the 15 round mark. This has steel inserts feels much sturdier We know Glock 19 or Glock mags in general are really nice magazines Every time a new gun is offered people say doesn't it take a lot of mags? Well, we know Glock does so it's a More sturdy mag $25 so half the cost for the Magpul P or GL 9 mag P mag and you can see they are Similar in size and weight, but the first thing I'm going to do is take this loose sand and Gravel and everything else. Oh By the way, I am using freedom munitions 124 grain ball ammo so I'm going to take the P mag and Move it around in the sand All right, you can see I'm moving it around here Try to get it all throughout. I'm going to load five rounds of 124 grain It's in there And see if it can with we'll stand some Dirt and grime in it. I've got my coffee mug here that I'm storing the ammo We'll see how it does And you could just feel the the crunchy loading Prior to this I will say that the Glock 19 mag loaded easier. I don't know if it's a spring issue. It just seemed to be an Easier loading magazine. All right, here we go. Let's see how it did after rolling around in the sand And now we have the Glock OEM Mag we're gonna do the same thing Throw it all throughout I was hoping to get a container that Was see-through, but I think this will do the trick you get the idea now this has cytole So there are more areas for dirt to get into Let's go ahead and throw some rounds in here. I have to believe That this will Function fine, especially because the P mag Dead it still is loading easier So Glock has that advantage. They make great mags, you know some of those off-brand Korean 31 33 round mags. I don't like those and I'm not convinced. I like this Pete mag, but let's take some shots here after rolling around in the dirt. All right, so the first test dry dirt now what we're gonna do is take some water And put it in there And I've got I'll put a little more in there And I've got a stick here My table is pretty loose But we're gonna turn this loose dirt into mud All right, so it's gonna look like this Sort of like a pancake batter and This is gonna be nasty, but we're gonna check it out. Let's start with the P mag All right, we're gonna put it in there And move it all around See if it can withstand this because it It did with the dry dirt, but I'm thinking this will be a little more torturous if you will and you can see that that's then Pretty well Covered in mud dirt and grime. I'll do a quick rinse off and We'll load five rounds Here's here are four rounds and I imagine this is going to be rather crunchy and it is So here we have four rounds. I Can tell already that it's getting more difficult to load, but it's battling those Particles of sand and it was stood it. I can feel that sand coming back to me We're gonna do the same thing with the Glock OEM egg All right, I'm mixing it around You can see It's all mud Getting it off throughout the follower even in those holes. I like to the 15 Sight holes that this offers You can see where you're at with your mag. The bag pulls does not have that. We'll rinse it off Take four or five rounds here. You know four throw it in the Glock OEM mag Once again it loads easier so that's a Advantage there, but it's twice the cost so that is worth considering Here we go. Oh It's stuck a bit there so far advantage PMAG jam jam is Not going into battery and the slide is not locking back All right That is the Glock OEM 19 magazine and it currently sits The mag is Inserted it is locked in there But the slide is not locking back. I have to believe that all those sight holes Played a role in that the PMAG is locking back All right, so far advantage mag pull PMAG $12 and 30 cents versus the Glock $25 19 magazine I've got the PMAG on the left the Glock 19 mag on the right I position them both at the same part of the tread. I've got a Ford Explorer here I'm going to back it up and see what happens to me It looks like they both survived. Let's go ahead and load them up. I did not rinse them off after driving over them Let's start with the PMAG Five rounds loaded up. It does lock in All right did not go into battery. Let's see what happens, but it did fire All right, so far. I'm impressed. I wasn't expecting this. I thought that the steel inserts With the OEM Glock 19 mag would be more beneficial. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with both of these The PMAG is holding up to this torture test thus far. Here we have the PMAG I made it even more slimy. I loaded five rounds. There it goes Here I have the OEM Glock 19 mag There it goes. You can see how dirty and mucky it is. I am not Going to rinse them off this time. Something has to destroy these mags I am looking for a clear winner and you can see that that is a Lot of grime. A ton of grime We'll get it nice and even. Nobody could deny that these are both be tortured Let's start with the PMAG GL9 It does lock in there Did not go into battery. I'm keeping in frame here Did not go into battery and dead trigger The next one did not go into battery and dead trigger Same thing that slide locks back And that was a tight fit because it had all that dirt and grime. Here we have the OEM Glock 19 mag locks in no battery and We've got an issue here. Let me drop the mag See if I can hand load that All right I've got one in see the way that is Ramping up there, but not chambering So I'll drop the mag again. I may have to hand load this again lock the slide back Throw it in there. The chamber is Very tight and the same thing So here are my results and I will tell you That this was Pretty interesting. I went into this thing expecting the PMAG to do horrible and Primarily because it feels cheap It is cheap $12 and 30 cents and it doesn't have those steel inserts Which I think is a big deal all things considered And I truly thought that running over The PMAG and the Glock mag at the same time that this one would fail and it didn't this OEM Glock 19 mag Wouldn't chamber after the second mud test Or it was not going into battery. So it wouldn't chamber this did So for all intents and purposes the results are not what I expected for $12 and 30 cents the PMAG one Still love Glock 19 mags, but the PMAG one did it win because it doesn't have those sight holes Therefore allowed less debris into the guts of the mag Possibly is it a great mag Some people say it is I Don't know. This is my first time actually torture testing it or anything But it did perform very well It actually outperformed the Glock 19 mag which was shocking to me and I'm pretty sure It would be shocking to some of you if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
