Overview

The MAGPUL PMAG GL9 is a 27-round Glock 9mm magazine made in the USA. Its proprietary all-polymer construction is built for reliable feeding and long-term durability over thousands of rounds. Priced at $18.95, the GL9 offers additional capacity while meeting the overall length requirements for a 170MM competition magazine — a practical option for competitors and high-capacity-minded owners who prefer to avoid expensive extensions.

Key Features and Tactical Benefits

Construction and Reliability

Magpul’s polymer body reduces weight and resists corrosion compared to metal alternatives. The stainless steel spring provides consistent tension for reliable feeding, while the controlled-tilt high-visibility follower helps prevent nose-diving and improves rounds-up reliability.

Maintenance and Marking

The PMAG GL9 includes an easily removable floorplate for straightforward cleaning and maintenance. Ridged floorplate edges improve grip during reloads. A paint pen dot matrix lets you mark magazines for quick identification in a kit or squad setting.

Fit, Capacity, and Compatibility

This 27-round Glock 9mm magazine is compatible with full-size, compact, and sub-compact double-stack Glock 9mm variants when some protrusion below the grip is acceptable. Capacity indicator windows give a quick visual check of rounds remaining, and the magazine is designed to drop free whether loaded or unloaded — a must for fast reloads under stress.

Why Choose 9mm and This Model

9mm remains a preferred caliber for its balance of controllability, magazine capacity, and ammunition availability. The PMAG GL9 maximizes that capacity with a 27-round loadout while maintaining ergonomics for Glock platforms. Magpul’s reputation for durable polymer accessories makes this a sensible upgrade for competitive, training, and defensive setups.

For shooters seeking a cost-effective high-capacity Glock magazine with practical features like capacity windows, a stainless spring, and an easily serviceable floorplate, the MAGPUL PMAG GL9 is a compelling choice.
