Glock magazine question

deerhntr

Hello folks,I am the Happy owner of a Glock 22 Pistol and since new have used Non FML Non drop Free Hi-caps and they served me well
for several thousand rounds.I am now in the market for the New Drop free FML Glock 22 mags. I have been looking over the listings
for Pre-ban Glock mags here on GB and noticed Three types avaiable,
First Generation (i guess the ones i have) Second Generation and last a Third Generation. Can someone Tell me the Difference between them all? and what am i to pay for them? Which is the "Best" one? Thanks.

Are GLOCK 22 GEN 3 and GLOCK 22 GEN 4 magazines interchangeable and do both work in a GLOCK 27 GEN 4?

What makes GLOCK magazines so valuable? I've inspected all of mine and didn't find any gold in any of them.

I don't think these are "official" designations. If I had to divide Glock mags into 3 groups, I'd say 1) non-drop-free hi-caps, 2) drop-free hi-caps, and 3) low-cap post-ban 10 rounders. I've heard Glock guns being grouped by generation, but never the mags. Post-bans bring only $20 or less. Drop-free high-caps with the metal lining sell best at $60-100. Non-drop-free go for a little less since some folks (not me) think they are less desirable. I too used them fine for quite a while before some shooters successfully lobbied for a change to the drop-free style.

Thanks... I get them from all over (that one's from Glockmeister) and save them for this exact use. Soooo many times a simple picture will save several minutes of typing (and be more clear usually anyway).

Thanks Bambihunter, the second and third Gen. look the same?
anyone know the differnce between those two?

bambihunter

They are NOT the same... Note the cut-out in the rear, the 2nd generation is nearly square with vertical sides whereas the 3rd generation looks more like a trapazoid. Also, not the curve of the follower, one's more concave (2nd gen) while the 3rd generation model is more convex.
