Our long tower 50-round GLOCK drum mag Our PMAG D-50 GL9 is a highly reliable, 9x19mm Parabellum, 50-round drum magazine optimized for double-stack 9mm GLOCK handguns. It boasts many of the proven features of our other 9mm drums, providing 50-round capacity in a unique drum configuration that keeps the height of the magazine manageable, allowing for easier storage. We recommended installing a new OEM magazine release on Gen 1-3 GLOCK handguns to support the extra weight of the magazine, and Gen 4 GLOCK handguns will require an aftermarket metal magazine release. Features 50-round capacity, next-generation impact and crush-resistant polymer construction, and robust stainless internals withstand corrosion and long-term storage while loaded with no loss of function. Ratcheting lever for ease of loading, easy disassembly for cleaning and maintenance, and high-visibility follower and rounds-remaining window. Use of the D-50 GL9 in PCCs is not recommended, because the increased length of the feed tower will be partially unsupported in most PCC mag wells. Installation of a new recoil spring assembly to ensure reliable feeding is strongly recommended and Individual variations between firearms may result in an extra power recoil spring being required.

| The obvious question is "when?"... but I also see that there is a PCC version of the D50 GL-9... how short is the feed tower compared to the standard version? Or maybe compared to the other glock mags (like the 10 or 15 rd)? |

“It is recommended that you install a new OEM magazine release on Gen 1-3 GLOCK handguns to support the extra weight of the magazine. Gen 4 GLOCK handguns will require an aftermarket metal magazine release. Installation of a new recoil spring assembly to ensure reliable feeding is strongly recommended. Individual variations between firearms may result in an extra power recoil spring being required. Use of this D-50 GL9 in pistol caliber carbines (PCC) is not recommended, because the increased length of the feed tower will be partially unsupported in most pistol caliber magazine wells. This unsupported condition may cause premature wear on the feed tower magazine catch, and (in firearms which deviate from factory magazine well specifications) may result in improper round presentation and failures to feed.” |

Just wish release dates wouldn't be given out if there is no intention of meeting them. I don't care if it's another 5 years, but at least be honest about it. It's not just the firearm industry either. I expect people to be honest. |

This is correct, will also not fit in my APC9 and 9K. I sent Magpul a message and there reply was to use the GL9 instead. Which hangs way to low for me. Very poor planning on the PCC Glock drums. |

Yep! I can confirm that Magpul GL9 pcc drums fits the Ruger charger 9mm and the PSA billet 9mm AR9 pistol lower. It does not fit the B&T glock 9mm lower on a GHM9. Nuts! |

Whille I can admit the the geometry of the B&T magwell is odd, it seems like it is popular enough to have been considered... I can run a 26 mag in the APC, a few more mm, maybe 5 or 6, seems like it wouldn't have been too hard to manage in the design... |

The PCC model with not really work with a QC10 9mm lower. If I have the bolt locked back and smack it VERY hard, it seats. But then it won't release with the mag release button without smashing it hard. The the bolt closed, it won't seat at all. The manual states to call customer service.... Anyone have an idea what the fix is? |

Anyone have an idea what the fix is? I emailed Magpul about the problem and there answer was they knew of the problem and I should buy the Glock pistol drum as the feed tower is longer. I did get one of my PCC drums to fit the B&T 9 and 9K. I rotated the face plate 180 degrees and used my dremel to take off some material. It looks like s**t but it locks in and function’s. |
