I really like the way these Magpul 12 rounders make my G26 feel in hand. Very tempted to use them for carry. Anyone have any long term experience with these?
 
I use the 17rd in my G19, Polymer80 G19 clone, two different AR9s and my Ruger PC9 and have not had any issues yet.
 
Magpul Glock mags are garbage in my experience. I wouldn’t use them for anything but range use, and with how cheap OEM mags can be had for, I don’t even use them for that anymore.
 
I have 5, and they have all had issues at some point. I also have 3 buddies who have some and experienced issues as well.
 
I have a couple that are for range use only. I know @11B CIB had some serious issues with his as well...spring actually breaking if I remember correctly.

I do remember that thread now that you mention it. I think I’m going to stick with OEM for carry.

Yep; the spring sheared off at a really strange angle and not at the site of a bend or anything

I like the ease of disassembly and the thick rubberized base pads that can be put on them for doing drills and such but I lost confidence in them pretty quickly with that spring issue. Which is odd considering my opinion of the AR mags is exactly the opposite
 
Only use Glock mags for carry. Use the Magpul ones at the range. I got a couple Magpul mags and they never leave the safe. Only not Glock mags I shoot occasionally are the Korean 33rd....but even then I usually use the Glock 33s.

Saving a couple bucks for a carry mag makes no sense to me.

Had nothing to do with money. I like the way the Magpul mag feels and the extra couple rounds don’t hurt. I’ll be sticking to OEM for carry though.

I have some Magpul and ETS magazines. Both work but I trust my factory Glock magazines.
 
Understood. It's just a reflex I suppose.

I've wanted to get a good plus extension for mine and see how it conceals. Usually just keep the factory 10 w one in the pipe aiwb especially during the summer.

I’d love for Taran tactical to make a +1 for the G26 like they have for the 43.
