Glock 43 magazines packaged incorrectly
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2021 4:29 pm
Just a friendly heads up to double check any Glock 43 magazines you may have recently purchased.
I had a student this past weekend (4/10/2021) discover that the two spare Glock 43 magazines ordered online from Academy were mis-packaged, apparently from the factory. He didn't notice when they arrived that they both were actually Glock 42 magazines (basically same gun, but .380 vs 9mm). The Glock 42 magazines are slightly smaller (front to back), & while they would accept 9mm rounds the magazine catch wouldn't reliability lock in place without some finesse. It was the ".380" stamped on the back of the magazines that made apparent what the 'hitch in the giddy up' was.
He double checked, & the packaging for both were for the Glock 43, but with Glock 42 mags inside.
Just FYI.
