Post Body

I’m a new gun owner and so far I’ve only ever used my Glock OEM magazines and I’ve had zero jams or issues after 750 shots.

So that makes me wonder; why do people use 3rd party magazines? Is it purely for visual appearance or do they claim to be more reliable than glock magazines?

Secondly, why do people shit on Glock extended magazines? I’ve used mine once everytime i go to the range and I’ve also had zero issues with it, so I don’t get the hate.

I’d love y’all’s insight if you have some to offer
