Glock Magazine Followers?

[Dexter Morgan]

I bought some new 10 round Glock 9mm magazines for my PCC.

After an hour of casual shooting; 2 out of 6 magazines have broken followers.

Is there a better aftermarket follower that I can replace them with?

These are purpose built 10 round Glock-17 magazines. Made in Austria.
The followers are marked 2183-2

I have found the quality of 2183-2 followers is all over the map. I have five original mags that have seen a few thousand rounds and are still intact , but have had one out of three replacements in other mags break after a couple hundred rounds.
Only upside is they are cheap to replace, $4.99 at Brownells.

Not sure on aftermarkets but i believe there are a couple other Glock followers that can be swapped in place.

I did some reading on a few American Glock forums last night.

Apparently; Everyone has trouble with magazines that have the 2183-2 followers.

There seems to be thousands of complaints about these followers breaking.

So much for "Glock Perfection" LOL.

Yes. It seems that the solution is to replace the "2183-2" follower with the "9mm-3" follower.

No American vendors (including Brownells) will ship them to Canada.

But I found some in stock at Nordic Marksman. I cleaned out their stock LOL.

I contacted Glock about my followers. Others have had success in getting Glock to send new followers but I exchanged two emails and then heard nothing back from 'em.
