Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:54 amIs there any way to determine the generation of a Glock magazine? Maybe by it's markings, shape of the follower, etc.

Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2019 12:42 pmThey would sometimes change within the same generation. The very first ones were "non- drop free"- they were supposed to stay in the gun until physically pulled out. That didn't suit the US market, so Glock switched to a metal lining so they would drop free by themselves. That was just the first change-there was more to come, with different followers, etc. There's been quite a few magazine revisions thru the years.
