| I have a Glock 23 and started looking at getting a few more mags. I found these on the EE. What are the differences b/n # 5, 6 , 7 , and 8 followers? All I plan on shooting is 40cal. |

Minor structural differences. Glock has come out with improved shapes of followers over the years. #8 is the most recent, I believe.
I have to admit I've never really heard of reliability issues caused by the old follower designs. It's just an evolution Glock has been doing with followers. #8 followers are recommended (along with 11-coil mag springs) for running .40 Glock pistols with lights mounted, for reliability. The mags should run fine, if you were to have a problem, buying a few #8 followers is cheap. I've got #6, #7, and #8 G22 mags for my G23, they all run flawlessly. ETA: I'm sure someone around here has a pic comparing the different followers. |
