Inco Marketing .40 S&W 31rd For Glock 22,23,27,31,32,33 Magazine – Aftermarket Origin, Black Review

First Thoughts on the Inco Marketing .40 S&W 31rd For Glock 22,23,27,31,32,33 Magazine – Aftermarket Origin, Black

In the world of tactical gear, magazines are the unsung heroes, the reliable workhorses that keep our firearms running. I’ve seen countless magazines fail at the worst possible moments, so I’m always on the lookout for quality options, especially when training and competition budgets are a factor. The Inco Marketing .40 S&W 31rd For Glock 22,23,27,31,32,33 Magazine – Aftermarket Origin, Black promises high capacity and compatibility with popular Glock models at an attractive price point, so it immediately caught my attention.

For years, I’ve relied on factory Glock magazines, accepting their cost as the price of reliability, so the allure of a high-capacity, budget-friendly option from Inco Marketing was impossible to resist. I needed a magazine that could withstand the rigors of high-volume range sessions and tactical drills without breaking the bank. After all, magazines are consumables in many high-intensity training scenarios.

Upon unboxing, the Inco Marketing magazine feels surprisingly robust, the polymer body exhibiting a reassuring sturdiness, and the steel lining visible right away. The weight is comparable to a fully loaded factory Glock magazine, perhaps a tad heavier due to its extended length, which is expected with a 31-round capacity. The overall design is clean, functional, and visually similar to standard Glock magazines, albeit longer.

Compared to factory Glock magazines, the polymer doesn’t have quite the same level of finish, but for roughly a third of the price, I wasn’t expecting perfection. Compared to some truly budget aftermarket magazines I’ve used in the past, the Inco Marketing magazine feels much more substantial. I chose this magazine over other budget options specifically because of the steel lining and the promise of a lifetime warranty from Inco Marketing.

Initially, I was cautiously optimistic; the price was right, but I knew that performance is paramount, especially with aftermarket magazines. Would it feed reliably? Would it withstand repeated use? Time, and a few hundred rounds of .40 S&W, would tell.

Real-World Testing: Putting Inco Marketing .40 S&W 31rd For Glock 22,23,27,31,32,33 Magazine – Aftermarket Origin, Black to the Test

First Use Experience

I first tested the Inco Marketing .40 S&W 31rd magazine at my local outdoor shooting range. The weather was clear and dry, providing ideal conditions to assess functionality without environmental variables. I ran the magazine through my Glock 22, focusing on loading, feeding, and ejection, paying close attention to any signs of malfunction.

The initial loading process was a bit stiff; typical of new high-capacity magazines. I could only get 28 rounds loaded the first time. However, after a few cycles of loading and unloading, the magazine began to accept its full 31-round capacity. I experienced two failures to feed within the first 100 rounds, which I attributed to the new, stiff spring.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several range sessions and approximately 500 rounds, the Inco Marketing magazine has proven surprisingly reliable. The initial failures to feed disappeared after the first range trip. It has performed consistently since then, with no further malfunctions.

Durability-wise, the magazine shows minimal signs of wear, mainly minor scuffing on the polymer body from inserting and removing it from the magazine well. The steel lining appears intact, and the spring tension remains strong. Cleaning is straightforward; I simply disassemble the magazine, wipe down the components, and lightly lubricate the spring. It’s just as easy to maintain as a factory Glock magazine.

Compared to my experience with some other aftermarket magazines, the Inco Marketing magazine significantly outperforms them in terms of reliability and durability. While it might not have the same level of refinement as a factory Glock magazine, the price point and high capacity make it a worthwhile addition to my range gear. It allows for extended firing sessions without constant reloading, which is invaluable for training purposes.
