Learn More Elite Tactical Systems (ETS) is a manufacturer of AR and Glock magazines, best known for their transparency of materials. Their initial launch of Glock magazines was for 9mm models (see our review on their first 9mm magazine releases here). Most recently they announced the availability of their transparent Glock magazines for .40 caliber pistols and pistol caliber carbines. Current offerings available run from 30-round extended magazines all the way down to 9-round magazines that flush fit with the Glock 27. The ETS 24-round magazine has a length of 170mm to fit within Open Division USPSA competition rules, and their 19-round magazine has a length of 140mm to be legal for USPSA Limited Division. We're told each magazine is compatible with all .40 caliber Glocks regardless of generation. Like their 9mm models, the ETS Glock magazines feature floorplates that are easy to disassemble and can be used with any aftermarket floorplate designed for an OEM magazine. Here's what ETS tells us about the polymers used.
