I did a google and an Enos search of dummy and fake glock magazines, but came up empty. The ones that are supposed to weight the same as a loaded magazine. Anyone know where to get them?

[smokshwn]

do a search for CRTC mags....don't have time right now I am doing this via phone

[smokshwn]

might be available from brownells.

Listen, if you're going to Dillion anyway, how about picking up a couple 650's and a quart of milk for me. I'll pay you next time I see you.

They say for Glock 17/22. Will these work in a 34? Do they sell them for the 19

[LPatterson]

What works in a 17/22 will work in a 34/35, they will stick out the bottom of a 19.

You can buy new Glock mags for about the same price That's why I can't bring myself to buy useless blue mags. Just my 2 cents

Yep, save the money. I practice with 12 dummy rounds I made just for that in a regular mag. I decapped them to make the inertness (not sure that is even a word, I mean to say the state of being inert) clearly visible and loaded them without primer and without powder (duh...). THEN I painted them blue and I keep them in a little separate container. Now, that's way too much info but you get the gist. I say, save the money, lad!

edited because the quantity of 12 makes no sense without explanation. 12rounds of dummy-9mm in a Production gun weigh about as much 10 real rounds.

I got the gist of what you're saying Team Amish. I used to use inert 40 rounds in a 9mm Glock mag just for an extra level of safety. No way a Glock 9mm will even begin to chamber a 40 round. I kept a couple of Glock 40 mags around just for dryfire.

But perhaps the original poster was thinking of Blue Weighted Dummy mags for using as a warmup tool at the safe area. I know it costs a lot, but it would nice to have a couple weighted mags to do some reloads at the safe area, when you arrive at a match. Thereby giving a realistic weight to the gun for the draw, and providing realistic reload motions (which are especially helpful for Production shooters). Just a thought.

Hmm, good point Chris.
Never thought of that.

The problem I had with the fake, weighted Glock mags was they tended to get beaten up pretty fast, especially in the mag catch slot area. I prefer to use Glock 10-round magazines, loaded with dummy cartridges I built on my Dillon loading machine without powder or primers, for dry fire/speedload practice. About the only thing Glock 10-round magazines are good for, in my opinion. I do use an A-Zoom snap cap in the chamber while dry firing, as well, so there's something to absorb and cushion the firing pin strike other than the back of the breech face.

I concur with Duane on ten round mags in .40 and .45 not being much use.....

I have no info on the ten round .357 Sig or .45 GAP mags....

Ten round 9 mm mags have worked flawlessly in my 34s since 2000. I've been using the current set of six match mags since late 2005, without having taken them apart or having replaced parts.....

I just shake 'em off, reload 'em, and put 'em back on the belt....

[Duane Thomas]

I wish I could say the same. Heavy sigh.

[Lawdawg112]

I have 4 that I would sell you in a heartbeat. Those CKRT mags are terrible. They simulate fully loaded mags, they are way too heavy and the balance of them is all wrong. I practiced with them for about a month last year thinking they would be the cats meow and they screwed me up so bad at a match I got rid of them and started putting dummy rounds in regular mags.

[MoNsTeR]

Hmm, I hadn't thought of using my old 10-rounders... Only trouble is they're about five times harder to seat when fully loaded than a full-cap with only ten rounds in it. I suppose that'll teach you to really slam it home, but my OCD side is telling me I should keep everything the same.

[Duane Thomas]

I only load nine rounds for dry fire. I sincerely doubt the one cartridge weight difference between that and match day is going to screw me up.
