Description
Ed Brown has been building precision firearms and high-quality parts since the late 1960s, earning a reputation that carries serious weight in the custom 1911 world. These Glock 9mm Performance Magazines are their push into the polymer pistol space, and they're built with the same quality standards the company is known for. The construction mirrors traditional Glock magazine architecture: a steel liner inside a polymer outer body. That steel liner adds rigidity to the feed lips and helps the magazine hold its shape through thousands of load cycles and repeated drops.
The GL-MAG17 holds 17 rounds of 9mm and is designed to fit pre-Gen5 Glock 17 and 19 pistols. It drops in just like the factory mag and is sized to drop free cleanly when the release is pressed. The floorplate is embossed with the Ed Brown "EB" logo and uses the standard Glock-style disassembly button, so field stripping for cleaning is straightforward with no special tools needed.
Real-world testing has shown these magazines feed reliably in Glock-pattern pistols as well as 9mm carbines that accept Glock-style magazines, like the Henry Homesteader. If you're running a PCC alongside your Glock, having magazines that work in both platforms is a genuine convenience. Ed Brown rates these to meet or exceed factory magazine performance, and they back that claim with a lifetime warranty.
These are a good pick for anyone looking to stock up on spare mags for the range, training days, or as a backup to their factory supply. Selling a single magazine, black finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glock models will the Ed Brown GL-MAG17 fit?
The GL-MAG17 is designed to work in pre-Gen5 Glock 17 and Glock 19 pistols chambered in 9mm. It is not listed as compatible with Gen5 models, so if you are running a newer Gen5 frame, verify fitment before purchasing. For pre-Gen5 guns, it drops in and functions just like the factory magazine.
Will this Ed Brown Glock magazine work in a 9mm carbine like the Henry Homesteader?
Yes, the GL-MAG17 has been tested and shown to function reliably in Glock-pattern 9mm carbines that accept standard double-stack Glock-style magazines. If your PCC is compatible with factory Glock mags, this one should work as well. Always confirm compatibility with your specific firearm before relying on any magazine in a critical role.
How is the Ed Brown Performance Magazine built compared to a factory Glock magazine?
Both use the same basic construction approach: a polymer outer body with an internal steel liner that reinforces the feed lips and maintains dimensional integrity under repeated use. The steel liner is key to keeping the feed lips from spreading over time, which is one of the more common failure points in all-polymer aftermarket magazines. Ed Brown designed the GL-MAG17 to meet or exceed factory Glock magazine performance.
Does the GL-MAG17 come with any warranty?
Yes, Ed Brown backs the GL-MAG17 with a lifetime warranty, the same warranty they extend across their full Performance Magazine lineup. This means if the magazine has a defect or fails under normal use, Ed Brown will cover it. It is one of the stronger warranties you will find on an aftermarket pistol magazine.
Is the floorplate on the Ed Brown GL-MAG17 removable for cleaning?
Yes, the floorplate uses the standard Glock-style disassembly button and can be removed for cleaning and spring inspection without any tools. The floorplate is embossed with the Ed Brown EB logo. Keeping magazines clean and inspecting the spring periodically is good practice regardless of which magazine brand you run.
