Help! I just picked up a number of Glock mags (all used, for G22), but most of them refuse to drop free. They are marked LE/Military only. Any ideas on what I can do to make them drop? Since these are for range use only (I have reliable dropping mags for EDC), it doesn't bother me a bit to modify, sand, etc., but don't want to reinvent the wheel if somebody already has thoughts on this. Thanks a lot!
The older mags that have a "U" shaped rear were specifically designed to NOT drop free. I'm assuming that's the type you have. If not, then you probably have either a damaged mag release (happens when you use metal mags, which you should not do BTW), damaged mags, dirty magwell/mags/mag release, or a combination of all.
Mags that either have a |_| rear notch (2nd Gen), or a \_/ rear notch (3rd and 4th Gen) mags should easily drop free.
so to answer his question he can file the notches to a u shape?
Somehow I missed the responses to this thread! Sorry about the late reply...
These are gen 3 mags; I had already checked that. Some of them drop free, while others do not. I've already checked the gun - appears fine, and the ones that do work properly are consistent. I have cleaned and oiled them all. The oiling helped a bit on some of them, but once they dried out again, they still stuck.

I "shave all of my Glock competition mags. Sanding can raise burs that will cause issues. I just use an exacto knife and bevel the edges on the back corners of the mag body. That alone will usually get them to drop free. It doesn't take much to do the trick.
Ain't nothing perfect, despite marketing hype to the contrary!
An Accurate Iron modded Glock comes pretty close though!

Just having a little fun with ya!!!
If they could make a Glock with a better grip angle I'd probably own one.
