Glock mag pinning

[Scarecrow]

Is it the 13th hole on the back rib that needs to be pinned?

 

[BBq_Woa!]

from what ive seen it's hole 11. but im probably wrong

My G17 mags are pinned in hole 14.

After you pin [ and the hole depends on EXACTLy which Mag/follower /caliber combination you have ] make sure you file down the rivet, other wsie the mags may no longer drop free.

When I do them, I cut out the plastic where the rivet will fit into, to sort of countersink them.

Never seen them pinned at the 11th or 14th hole, depends on mag generation...older ones are blocked at 13th witness hole the newer ones are int the 15th.
Thats assuming the mags are new or unaltered....have not had the followers changed out... all bets are off if the mags were altered by a previous owner...you will have to figure it out by trial and error...

Depends on the generation of the follower. Current ones are through the #15 witness hole. The hole needs to be expanded a bit in order to get a 1/8" rivet to fit.

They do make counter sunk head pop rivets.

# 14 is the one.

Bad photo but I always take a little off the follower as well. It makes them a pleasure to load being a 10.75 round mag.

This may be a 33 round follower (old photo so I can't remember) but you get the idea.

 

[Scarecrow]

Actually 33rd mag is what I need to pin.

 

[RePete]

Actually 33rd mag is what I need to pin.

That's what I pinned.

Hole # 14.

 

[NaOH]

Same here. #14 hole.

That's what I pinned.

Hole # 14.

 

[badboybeeson]

for sure #14 in the 33rds and 13 on the 17rd 9mm mags
