Here at Tyrant Designs, one of our favorite platforms to work on, get creative with, and produce new products for is the Glock handgun. It has worldwide recognition for reliability and it is the adult equivalent of “Legos” for how user-friendly they are to dis-assemble, clean, modify, and work on. Many competitors, law enforcement, and recreational shooting enthusiasts choose Glocks so we choose to provide you with quality upgrades for that platform to improve that shooting experience. Not surprisingly as well, there are many other quality manufacturers who produce aftermarket accessories as well. One prominent company is Magpul and they have just debuted their 50-Round 9mm Glock Drum for the G17, or full-sized Glock 9mm pistol.

While we produce phenomenal Magazine Extensions for factory Glock magazines, sometimes you just feeling like dumping a literal box of ammo at a time for the fun and stress relief of a good ol’ mag dump. If that is the case, then you should be incredibly excited that Magpul has jumped on board to finally deliver to the market a 50-Round 9mm Glock Drum magazine!

The reason why it is exciting news to see Magpul produce one of these is because they are no stranger to drum magazines. They have been making reliable drum magazines for several other make and model firearms for years now. The drum body is essentially a universal component now to Magpul since they ironed it out so well. What they needed to work on to create the perfect drum magazine for a Glock 17 was the “tower” of the drum mag, or the section that actually inserts into the frame of a Glock. The tower can often be the most important component of a drum magazine because it ensures proper seating of the magazine into the firearm, reliable feeding of the rounds from the magazine into the chamber, and it also is a pivotal point as to whether the magazine can be properly released once it is empty.

Right now the drum magazine from Magpul for 9mm Glock patterned firearms is benchmarked at $119.95 and is set to be available this spring. So, if you have always wanted to drum magazine for your Glock be on the lookout for those this spring. Also, make sure to be on the lookout for our NEW Glock I.T.T.S. (Improved Tyrant Trigger System) Trigger that will be available very soon and is on Pre-Sale on our website right now!
