Ok, so I got a Glock 19, buying a glock 18c, got a friend getting a glock 18c, another friend getting a 19. Now We're all playing together mostly on the same team, so mag sharing is really a plus, also why we have M16 varients:) I have heard that all the mags are the same but what I'm wondering is, the Glock 19 mag, will it fit in an 18c or is it too short? And any other interesting differences that would come up with running basically the same mags in the 19 and the 18c. I would really like to get a shitload of mags that will work in both, and all their guns also. Any input would be appreciated.
Luke

That's a good question. I'm going to assume you're speaking of KSC Glock's. I'll let you know tonight, frostee has a G19 and Viking and I both have 18's so we'll see. Other than height I can't see there being any problems. Hell, we've run the big 50 rounds 18c hi-caps through a 26c before and it worked just fine.

yes and no. More no than yes. If you leave the butt plate on, there's no way it will fit in there. If, however, you take it off, you can slide it up into the grip. But if you notice, the back of the bottom of the mag tapers out a little bit, making the bottom cm or so wider than the rest. Unfortunately, it's also just a hair wider than the mag well. You can fit it in with just slightly more force. Getting it out is the tricky part. You have ot either lock the slide back and push the mag out through the ejection port or whack the grip against your palm to shake the mag out. Either way is a pain in the ass, but bot ways work. If you've got to use it in a fire fight, then use it, but if you can avoid it, it's probably better that you do.

Well I'm not sure we're on the same track:) From the looks of my glock mag it's the same width from the top to bottom, other than the tapper a the very top where it goes up into the top of the gun. But what I'm really looking at is the 18c mags working in the glock 19, because I only have once glock 19 mag, and if they are compatible then all the mags I'll buy here out are the 18c mags. That way I could use the 18c mags in the 19 and the 18c also. None the less hope this makes a little more sense. Also I'm talking KSC/KWA Glocks forgot to mention that in the first post, but I do think that KSC/KWA are the only ones that make a 18c?
EDIT: Is the taper your talking about the one on the back of the mag? If so yeah I know what you mean but I'm thinking 18c mags as I said above;)
Thanks.
Luke

Ah, i see. yes, the glock 17/18 mags work fine in the glock 19. You'll have a little bit of an extension sticking out, but that's it. The mag catch system is identical within the KSC glocks. So any KSC (and KWA incidentally) glock can take any other glock mag as long as it is the same length or longer than the mag intended for the gun. A G26 can take all of the mags, a 19 can take the 19's, the 17/18's and the extended 49 rounder, and the 17/18's can take their own and the extended 49 rounder.
And yes, the back of the bottom is the tapering out that i was talking about. You can see how that would cause problems if it goes deeper into the gun.

Yeah all's good then:) I don't mind a little extension I would be curious to know exzactly how much if someone happens to have a mag in front of them:) But yeah no big deal should matter to much in my shoulder or leg holster. Thanks just wanted to confirm that before getting a shitload of them then wondering what I was gonna do with them:) Thanks

Instead of creating a new thread does anyone know if the Glock 18c extended magazines will fit inside the Glock 23 (Yes I am talking about the KSC models) Thanks much

I don't see why a 23 couldn't take 18 mags. It's the same size as a 19, right?

KSC is smart, they designed the ENTIRE glock line with the same magazine catch function. So yes, the 23 will hold the 17/18 mag and extended 50 rounder.
And yes, the 23 and 19 frames are identical in size. The 23 is chambered in .40 and the 19 in 9mm (real steel, that is).

In airsoft, the 23 has full-auto functionality and a couple rails on the front, under the barrel. It's the newest gun from KSC and brand new overall.

Hmm hadn't really paid much attention to the 23 till now:) Since that would really alleviate any mag concerns. One question to someone out there being that it's a newer release from KSC does that also mean that it has the heavy weight lower frame? Thanks

that's one that you should ask a retailer who has it in stock. The G26 came out after the 19 and doesn't have the heavyweight frame. So it could really go either way.
If you look at the gram weight on UNcompany, you see that the 23 weighs more than the 19 (by 40 grams, probably the extra rail system on the front). that would indicate that it does have the heavy weight frame. It also weighs 100g more than the G17. Maybe the rail system on the front and metal loading ramp weigh 100 grams more, maybe they weigh 40 more.
So we're back to, "you're best off asking a retailer who has them in stock."
