Glock factory is the best, the others may be good.

I bought 5 of the KCI mags & they've been 100% reliable so far.

I've been really impressed with the Korean mags so far. Zero malfunctions in my gen4 G19, both with Korean 15 and 33 rounders.  I'm not ready to use them for carry yet, but if they continue to impress me all summer I will.

Korean mags for range use, GLOCK mags for carry. I have only had a couple malfunctions with the Korean mags...I view those malfunctions as opportunities to practice a remediation drills.

this guy nails it!

i have had great success with Korean mags, but i limit these to RANGE USE ONLY. i will ONLY carry GLOCK FACTORY magazines. i run both at the range, but the Korean mag are my beat-around, don't-give-a-shit mags. i drop 'em, step on 'em... i figure they're inexpensive enough to replace if they become problematic or damaged. although, i will admit, i have been impressed. for the money, these are hard to beat for dedicated range use. i have had several malfunctions, but as Gastonite pointed out, i also view these instances as invaluable practice.

Just stick to factory mags.  They are pretty cheap compared to some other gun mags.

Is it true the Korean mags are what the Korean military uses? I also have had good luck with them, but stick to factory mags for carry.

Another KCI for range, Glock for carry vote. I broke 2 base plates dropping mags on concrete during combat pistol league. Started taping them up with some padding and haven't had a problem since.

This for sure.  I would not trust my life or my families lives to anything but the Glock factory mags.
