Will it work with this magazine?
Although the MAG-AD9 may work with many aftermarket magazines, we
recommend using post 2004 square notch, Glock OEM magazines. As these
will provide the best fit and function.
NOTE:
Please note the above picture, notice the lack of a ledge on the new
magazine as compared to the old. Also please note the (SQUARE) shaped
notch on the new magazine as compared to the (U) shaped notch on the far
right magazine.
(U NOTCH) magazines are very early generation glock magazines,
they were not fully metal lined and due to this they expand when loaded
causing reliability and insertion issues.
2004 and prior magazines (SQUARE and U-NOTCH) also contain a ledge on the right hand side as noted by the above picture.
While in some situations these magazines can still be used with the
MAG-AD9 series, they may require more force to seat the magazine or may
not seat at all. Some very light modification can be done to the
magazines to allow them to seat easier.
We still do not recommend the use of U-Notch magazines, as even
with modification, they may not work or be reliable due to the lack of a
full metal liner and expansion when loaded.
If you want to use these types of magazines, you can slightly modify the magazine in order to fit. See figures 1 and 2 below.
If you have these older magazines and wish to use them. Please note the areas of the magazines that will need modification .
If you wish to use these magazines, you can take a simple
household file and bevel the indicated edges slightly ( green arrows as
shown in figure 2.) This will allow the magazine to seat fully without
excessive pressure. This should be done in small increments with test
fitting and should not affect the use of the magazine in Glock pistols.
DO NOT MODIFY THE AREA INDICATED BY THE RED BOX.
While we have experimented with this and have had zero issues. Stern
Defense accepts no liability for modifications you make to your
magazines, If you decide to do this you do so at your own risk.
