WE EU17 Glock magazine compatibility

[ibo7]

Can anyone tell me if other mags are compatible with the WE EU17 Glock gen 3?

Either green gas or co2

Tm and Raven will work fine with that

They're only green gas, right?

Yeah buddy

I believe the WE G17 is pretty much a TM clone (though not 100% parts compatibility)

I ran a WE for a while as my first sidearm, and it was very good

And used WE or Raven mags for it with no problems, only green gas I add as I never bothered with the faff of Co2 bulbs etc

I usually use co2 as I use it for a couple of air pistols too so it just saves me buying 2 lots of gas

Fair, but very quickly the higher cost of the Co2 will outstrip your initial outlay on a bottle of green gas....

price per shot with CO2 vs GG on a WE pistol is near identical, and actually works out cheaper if you buy the bulbs in packs of 40 or more. Only way to make gas cheaper is to be buying plumbers gas and using an adapter.

Issue with CO2 is once you put the bulb in you have to use it or you are wasting a what ever is left in the bulb.

Also I really don't understand why some one buys something and then say what other manufacturers mags fit. Stick with like for like. You got a WE gun get WE mags you are not going to run into fitment/seal issues.

yep - this was my thinking - I suppose it depends if you use your pistol as a primary or not. But for me, I only tend to use half a mag or so in a typical mornings play, so that’s quite a lot of wasted gas (and its supposedly not great for the seals to leave the bulbs pierced in the mags for days on end)

Yeah, that is the other side of CO2. If you're leaving it for more than a day, you have to remove the bulb otherwise the seals will die a quick death.

Because frequently, if you're relying on UK stores alone, there are never any mags in stock when you go to buy them.

I asked as the mags aren't cheap at around £30 each, I know a lot of guns share compatible parts so it's worth asking the question
