Mag compatablity in GBBs
 

Because some manufacturers copy others designs we know some manufacturer's mags are compatable with other manufacturers guns and vice versa. What I'd like to do is compile a list of mags and manufacturers that are compatable. Here's a list of ones I've personally tried.

If you don't know from experiance DON'T post! We also don't need to know which ones don't work together.


Gun: Glock: G26, G26A, G27
Manufacturers: TM, KJW

Gun: M11A1
Manufacturers: KSC, KWA, UHC

Gun: Glock: G17, G18c, G19, G23, G23f
Manufacturers: KSC, KWA, KJW

KJW Glock mags are not compatible with KSC Glocks. If that were the case, TM Glock Mags would be compatible too.

But TM doesn't make the 17, 18c, 19, 23 or 23F...

If TM made the 17, 18, 19 or 23 you might be right but they don't, KJW copied KSC on that one.

FOr those who may be wondering, KSC M93R II mags are NOT compatible with Omega M93R's. Found that out today.

Gun: Beretta M9 series and variants
Manufacturer: KJW, TM

My mistake, just smack me around with a rubber hose.

tm and kjw m9 mags are cross compatible. tm mags have the better fill valves (they control overfill whereas the kj ones are silent and dont spill but result in the mags leaking from too much pressure) whereas i'm pretty sure kjw mags have higher flow release valves.

as for kjw g27 and g23, they are both based on the tm g26 so the mags are once again cross compatible. not sure about the lengths of g23 vs tm g26a mags but the g27 and g26 mags are the same size. the fill valves are once again silent vs overfill protected, but i havent heard any complaints about the kjw glock mags leaking.

KJW P.14.45 and the WA 14.45 are exactly the same..
you can use same mags, internals, slides..
everything...

can anyone else confirm on this one; i was under the impression that KJW and WA mags for the p14.45 are not interchangeable.

the same with WA P8 and the KJW P8...
ask EOL about the P.14.45

'was hoping you've tried interchanging the WA & KJW mags yourself. 'have always wondered what the sliding "hold-down" mechanism at WA mag valve would affect the KJ gun... and/or vice versa. any input anyone???

did WA ever make P8s? maybe u meant Tanaka...

I believe KJW might have copied Tanaka when making their M700s. I'll look into it when I get some in. As from what I've heard WA 1911 single stack mags can work in a KJW 1911 single stack with some modification. Not sure about the P14s though.

So just to clarify, you're saying that a KWA G19 will fit a mag from a G17,18C,19,23, and 23f from KSC, KWA and KJW?

KWA/Springtime Beretta M92FS are compatible with WA Beretta M92FS Magna systems
The same for the KWA/Springtime Colt Govt single stack 1911 and the WA equivalent.
