Fun Sticks - Glock Mags

To feed the Ruger PC Carbine, I bought some extended Glock magazines:
1) 27 Round Magpul - feels the most sturdy. Since I have had good luck with their G19 mags, I expect it to perform reliably.
2) Clear ETS - definitely feels fragile. I would not trust my life to it without even firing it. The angled baseplate makes it more difficult to load with MagLula
3) I have never tried this brand before, it terms of fit and feel, it appears comparable to Magpul Mags. 34 standard rounds is the most of the three. Has the PITA angled baseplate of the ETS.
To fill them up, I used my last batch of cheap, factory range ammo. Time to load up some of the cheap plated bullets I have held in reserve.

Thanks for the review. I don't see a brand on option #3?
I haven't heard anything bad about MagPul. I might have to buy a few to run on the 17 and the AR Pistol. They are very reasonable, even buying local at Academy.

For the extra few $$$’s all my G20, G22, G23, and G19 mags are from Glock. AIM Surplus occasionally sells used LEO / range magazines and that’s when I load up.
