Power up your Glock 19 Gen 5 with a factory-spec Glock 19 Gen 5 OEM Magazine. It delivers 15 rounds of 9mm capacity, smooth feeding, and the dependable performance Glock shooters trust. Seat it fast, run it hard, and reload with confidence for concealed carry, range sessions, or home defense.

Product Description | Specs for Glock 19 Gen 5 OEM Magazine

Engineers build the Glock 19 Gen 5 OEM Magazine with a rugged polymer body and a steel insert that stand up to repeated reloads, drops, and daily handling. It holds 15 rounds of 9mm Luger and feeds them reliably through a coil spring and a low-friction follower. It features the Gen 5 ambidextrous magazine catch cut, so you can run a reversible magazine release from either side.

The magazine seats positively in the Gen 5 magwell and drops free when you hit the release. It pairs with the compact Glock 19 platform, so you can keep a full stack of reliable spares ready for carry and training.

What’s the Glock 19 Gen 5 OEM Magazine Made Of?

Manufacturers mold the magazine body from high-strength polymer and reinforce it with a steel insert for rigidity and feed-lip durability. A steel coil spring drives the follower, and the polymer follower reduces tilt and helps cartridges feed smoothly from the first round to the last. The textured exterior resists slipping, and the materials withstand corrosion, impact, and everyday wear.

Customization Options

• Base Plates: Swap in an extended base plate for extra grip surface or added capacity if your build calls for it
• Magazine Springs: Install a replacement spring to refresh older magazines
• Followers: Upgrade to a compatible follower for added feeding consistency
• Marking and Organization: Label your magazines to track rotation and wear

Note: Aftermarket modifications may affect reliability or warranty. Test any change thoroughly before relying on it.

FAQs

Q: How many rounds does the Glock 19 Gen 5 OEM Magazine hold?
It holds 15 rounds of 9mm Luger.

Q: Will this magazine fit my Glock 17?

Q: Can I use it in a Gen 3 or Gen 4 Glock 19?
