A brief look at Glock generation 1,2,3,4 and 5 magazines. What’s the difference? We look at 3 different gen 5 guns with slight differences. Gen 5 Glock 17, Gen 5 Glock 45, Glock 19X
so, i just picked up a couple G31 mags to use with x-grips in my G33, but they are used, and until they show up i don't know what gen they are, and i just read that the x grips don't work with the gen1/2 mags, and i am wondering why???
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if Gen 4 mags would fit in a Glock 19 Gen 5, and even though you have the Glock 19X Gen 5, I'm guessing that it will...but if you know for sure and can tell me, I would appreciate it.
The Glock 19X is really not a generation 5. The 19X was Glock's attempt at the US Military sidearm contract. The requirements were ambildextous slide release, aggressive pistol grip stippling and a land yard ring. It will fit most 17 magazines. Being left-handed it fits the bill as My EDC pistol.
My question is do the gen 4 G32 mags work in a G32 gen 3 gun or do I have to purchase gen 3 mags?? I just found a new gen 3 glock 32 but my extra mags are all gen 4 mags
Bro, I'm thinking of upgrading from a gen 3 g17 to a gen 5. I've got gen 3 mags with TTI baseplates and this video answered all my concerns. You're the man.
Yes Mrtokitone, the gen 5 magazine doesn’t fit with the front lip, and the Taran Tactical base doesn’t fit with the lanyard loop on. I’ve taken off the lanyard loop, but haven’t taken off the front lip yet. Maybe I’ll post a video of myself filing it off.
I’m in California and just recently purchased a 17 GEN 3 and both the mags it comes with have the notch on both sides which I see in your GEN 3 mag it only has notch on one side? But I was curious to know do GEN 4 or GEN 5 mags fit in a GEN 3?
I came here to find out if the older generation magazines fit the Glock 45. Glad to see they do. Thank you for the information.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very informative.
Very informative video. I have Gen Five G45. Now I know I can use any generation of Glock Mags in it.
Great video brother
Extremely helpful
Thank you so much.
Very helpful, you answered all my questions, thanks
Excellent review! Thanks for putting all the versions of the Glock mags together. Subscribed!
Recently bought a G45 and been searching crazy for a magazine extension .
thanks for the video. i just got the glock 45, so im shopping around for mags for it.
So which gen magazine is best or newest for a gen2 model 21. Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the comparison
Nice video and good info without a bunch of bull. Thanks.

Glad I saw this. I have a polymer 80 g19 and the gen 5 mag worked until i put on a magwell. Then only the gen 4 worked
So do gen 5 mags fit in a p80 g19?
@@NORTE_559 he just said it worked untill he put on a magwell. So yes it works.... Lol as long as your not using a magwell
Your gen 1 mag might be more worn than other newer mags so locking it maybe difficult?
But can I put a 100 round beta c mag for the glock 19x inside the glock 45
does the 19X mag not fit the G45 or G17? Maybe I missed it but you didn't try it in either gun. Thanks.
Did the 19X mag fit the gen 4 and 5 glock 17? I need that info before I buy a19x ,wife has a gen 4 17,hopeing to be able to trade mags.Thanks again .
yes bro he says the 19x literally came with a gen 4 magazine did we not watch the same video ?
My question is do the gen 4 G32 mags work in a G32 gen 3 gun or do I have to purchase gen 3 mags?? I just found a new gen 3 glock 32 but my extra mags are all gen 4 mags
Hey ik this is an old Video but will a gen 4 22rd mag fit the glock27 gen 5? Any feedback is much appreciated 💯
Bro, I'm thinking of upgrading from a gen 3 g17 to a gen 5. I've got gen 3 mags with TTI baseplates and this video answered all my concerns. You're the man.
I’m thinking about getting a Gen 3 Glock 17 in fde. How do you like yours?
I have a Gen 5 45 and my Gen 2 mags have a hard time ejecting! Any suggestions on how to fix this (about 300 rounds through the G45)
It won’t except Gen 5 mags. Every other gen mag it’ll take. Gen 1-4
Hey what G17 mag should I get for a G19 gen 5.?
What type of magwell can I use for my G45??
I got the 19x
Is there suppose to be a little bit of play/wobble when the magazine is inserted?
is your magazine loaded or unloaded? typically with a loaded mag, the wobble goes away.
It's the followers, the gen 5 has a different follower, the cutout for the slide lock sits higher. Just swap followers
Yes Mrtokitone, the gen 5 magazine doesn’t fit with the front lip, and the Taran Tactical base doesn’t fit with the lanyard loop on.
I’ve taken off the lanyard loop, but haven’t taken off the front lip yet.
Maybe I’ll post a video of myself filing it off.
Not a bad idea. But I'd definitely just use an extended mags on the 19x but thats me I like extended mags on everything lol
Just buy a gen 4 base plate on glockstore.com
@@jonnygarcia6359 I was wondering that… like you said, a Glock 17 Gen 5 mag with a Gen 4 base plate should work, right? 🤔
Or if you're skilled with a Dremel tool, you could try grinding off the excess material on the gen 5 base plate
Wonder if the gen 5 mag will work on the Glock 17 gen 4?
Yes is the same
Gen 5 mags will fit 19x with base plate swap.
yes of course. I was just showing what would fit without any modifications
I was going to get a 19x but now I know it won't take Gen 5 mags which is what I have with my Glock 45. Thanks for this vid.
Perfect video!!!!
Will a GEN five magazine fit in the GEN four Glock I can’t recall it’s been a while. I’m looking at buying one or two more magazines again.
Yes it will fit. Only the 19X has a problem fitting the gen 5 mags, because of the front lip
5J Tactical Reviews Thank you, for taking time and replying!
I honestly wonder if this wouldn’t be a quick easy fix either a dremil tool
Thnk so much.
made me flinch at 3:32
Are you gonna be ok? 😢
The lanyard loop is removable
yes it is. I was just showing the options in the stock configuration
Bro punched us in the face
Thanks
Will Glock 22 gen 5 accept Glock 17 mags?
I wish I could give my dude two thumbs up.
Will a G17 Gen 5 take Glock 19 Gen 5 magazines?
Yes
Literally watched this to see it’s 19x mags fit in the 45 :(
right. wtf
It does
You can use Gen 5 mags you have to change the base plate to a Gen 4 base plate
Will the 19X mag fit into my G19 gen 5 ???
no
@@yungzucc3343 why would it not?
You can use a taran tactical
Great vid, but you forgot to check if it cycles/extracts with snap caps
Does it matter if it has left or thumb release will it still lock I see a lot with the one notch on the mag my factory has 2 notch
Every time I say glock I puck a little.
Take off the lanyard and it will fit the 5 won’t fit cuz the front lip on the grip .. so only the 5 doesn’t work 🙄
Thank you so much 🙏🏻. You just save me a lot of money LOL
Will a Glock 23 gen 4 mag work in a Gen 2 model 23?
yes it will
Take the lanyard loop out and the TT will fit
Will a glock 17 gen 4 mag fit glock 31 gen 4
Hello. The Gen 4 Glock 22 mag is the one you need for the Glock 31, because the .357 Sig case is a necked down .40S&W.
@@5jtacticalreviews316for the 9mm conversion I’d need a glock 22 mag ?
I’m in California and just recently purchased a 17 GEN 3 and both the mags it comes with have the notch on both sides which I see in your GEN 3 mag it only has notch on one side? But I was curious to know do GEN 4 or GEN 5 mags fit in a GEN 3?
Will a gen 5 Glock 22 take any 40 caliber magazines im just asking
Lanyard Loop can be removed

Can a Glock 19x fit a Glock 19?
