Kci Glock Mags - 10-8 Modern Service and Performance Weapons Hilton Yam recently posted a short article about his initial experience with Korean Glock magazines. I've been using the same 9mm Korean KCI brand of six magazines for at least four years now, so I thought I'd share my long review of an inexpensive ammo supplier.
I purchased my Korean mugs from CDNN four years ago for a retail price of $6.95. I wish I had bought more. Although magazine descriptions on retailer websites describe them as "exactly" OEM magazines, it's easy to spot some differences when you choose a Korean magazine. First, the metal magazine liner has a different, shiny look - I suspect a different alloy than the stock mags. Second, the look and feel of the polymer is slightly different - the Korean cups are much shinier and smoother to the touch than the stock ones. The Korean mag followers are very good copies of the Glock mags, but the magazine springs feel a bit "crunchy" when new. The mine has shrunk tremendously, thousands of rounds and four years later. The springs are pretty strong for me - except for two, which I'll get to in a minute. All my KCI mags drop loose and the slide locks open after the last round.

Before I bought my KCI Cups, I purchased two Korean Sportsman Guide Cups. Those two turned out to be Khan's trademark, never letting go and never locking the slide after the final round. So it's basically heavyweight for me.

When KCI Indices went on sale I thought I'd give it a try and I'm glad I did.
After my first few excursions with the magazines, I remember being incredibly pleased with them - except for their backing boards. As Hilton Yam points out in his article and photo, the baseplates are pathetically flimsy compared to Glock baseplates. After a few drops on concrete, or a few gravel, you'll look like Humpty Dumpty's Iron Man. I originally replaced the KCI plates with Magpul Speedplates, of which I still have two. (Although Magpul's idea of pistol holsters sounds nice, I've never used them as a draw, and ended up removing the "loop" from the panel, leaving useful, sturdy, plain panels.) On the rest, and on all my Glock duty mags. I love these palettes - read my review to read more about them.
After replacing the plates, my KCI cups have performed flawlessly for every long ride, practice, and competition I've attended over the past four years. The mags have put at least 5,000 rounds through various 9mm Glocks and I have never had a magazine malfunction. Bags have been dropped, dropped, stepped on, abused and it still works. Their scraps are chewed up and contained, but they continue to feed the glocks like a buffet of brass and copper.
Although I can no longer find Korean mugs for $6.95 anymore, I can still find them at J&G Sales for around $16. Sometimes they'll be on sale on other sites and I'll be sure to post any deals I find on them. For the price, they make great exercise cups. Change the boards and abuse them. I still carry my OEM mags when I'm at the range, but my plastic Asian ammo has convinced me.
