Anyone have experience with ETS pistol magazines?

Buy glock mags lol sorry had too. I had some for glock 22 in .40 when I had a jr carbine. They had issues but I believe it had to do with them being pinned
 
I wouldn't buy them again, despite the price being appealing. They do work OK, and it is useful to see the rounds within, but the plastic is brittle and slick, and overall lightweight so can require manual removal from magwell. I had to adjust one rivet from IRG as the spring got bound up, no big deal in hindsight but could have been a loss. 3/10.
 
OT, but not really. I bought two Glock mags in 9mm Loogie for my still legal PCC. I'm having a helluva time loading them past the halfway point - super stiff spring.

Any suggestions? Is it a matter of technique, not enough thumb chinups, or should I give in and buy a maglula?

Save your thumbs buy a maglula
 
I have 4 of the 9mm 40rd models. Have been using them for 3 years in my FM9 & QC10 PCC's for monthly matches without a single issue.
 
I had bought a bunch when they first came out. A mix of the 10/17 pinned and the straight 10s. They are pretty cool but they do not stand up to prolonged use. Three of them were used way more than others and they started to randomly spew rounds as the lips had weakend over time.
They caused a lot of double feeds, would spew in mag pouches or just randomly if you looked at them funny on the bench. I would suggest the Magpul GL9 mags instead if you are looking of a cheaper, non OEM mag.

Well... I cheaped out and bought a Ludex speedloader off of the usual scumbags.

For the price it's super sturdy, and works really well. First round and last round have the same tension. It's different than the maglula in that you set it down on a surface, and press the mag down. Can't speak to the longevity, but for now it's pretty good. Comes in a whole bunch of flavors. Mine was in 9mm Loogie, but you can get 10mm, S&W and others.

 
They were the mags that came with my PSA 9mm AR from IRG. They worked without issue in that gun and also worked without issue in my Ruger PC. I have not used them a lot so I can't speak to longevity but they certainly functioned well when new. Very reasonably priced as were the Magpul Glock mags.
