Morning folks. I hope someone on here can shed some light on these mags for me. I ordered 4 "OEM factory new" Glock 33 round magazines on sale. $35 with free shipping. When they arrived I immediately noticed they were different from the other Glock 33 Rd mags I had. Are these maybe just made in an American factory vs my original Austrian mags?

Note the different font 9mm. Left is my Austrian original. IMG_20161116_202801133.jpg The new mag has the code 4422-02 where my original has Austria.

Finally, you can see they're both Gen 4, but my original is cut all the way to the inner metal sleeve on one side.

I don't know how they function yet. I'll let you know if I see any difference on my next Range day. I'll try the in my G19 and my Tresna JAG9 as well and give a report. In the meantime thanks for any advice/info!

Now I feel dumb for not paying more attention to my mags... I ordered five or six of them toward the end of the summer. I had one already, but the extras were for the AR9. I never even really looked them over- they just went into the magazine box.
At least now I know I'm not the only one.

OK, so here's an update. I ran by Academy to buy some ammo and noticed the Glock 33rd mags hanging on the shelf. Out of curiosity I picked one up. It also had the new font, 4422-02 code, and cut out that matched the new ones I ordered. Plus it's still actually in the new style factory packaging. No where on the package did it give a country of origin though. IMG_20161120_131401062_TOP.jpg IMG_20161120_131406731.jpg

I just bought one with these markings from Academy, so how do they run? Are they satisfactory and working correctly? Thanks

Yeah, they ran fine for me. No difference from my original in my G19.
