Came across this cleaning out my uncle's old cabinet. I can never tell whether the Glock mags are pre-ban or not and usually ask the Glock dude at 4 Seasons but not gonna be up there anytime soon. Is this a legal mag?

Is this 29 round Glock mag pre-ban and legal?

So the "U" notch is good, this being square is not... and. if. 40 were lower, it'd be a pre-ban, (if not metal lined, yes?)
That is pretty much what my internet research shows.
Tony is right, it is impossible to say with any certainty. Glock certainly will not commit to anything in this regard.
I can take a few pics tomorrow of all my preban mags, I think I have most of the variants.
Once you see a mag stamped "for law enforcement use only" you will get it and understand the differences.

Does it have a date on it? No? Then it's preban.
The only glock mags that you can 100% say for sure are post ban are .357 sig mags and the mags with the ambi cut out. Everything else is preban as far as im concerned.

The fact is that ANY magazine holding 11 or more rounds is sufficient to be arrested and charged.....yes unlikely to be convicted of jack shit, but in this fine state we all know that far less than conviction is sufficient to have freedoms and finances destroyed.
I agree.
That is probably the best advice here. Does anyone think that a cop seeing and not liking your mag because it holds so many rounds is going to know the infinitely small differences between a pre and post-ban mag? Or is going to listen to you when you try to tell him it's OK, because of XY&Z?
With that said, has anyone ever got arrested because they had a 10+ mag?
This.
I look at it more like the fact is if I ever have to defend myself I'm getting arrested either way and any lawyer worth a hill of beans can get the charge regarding the mag tossed. Pretty rare for someone to get charged for just having an illegal mag.

It's beginning to look like this is your answer. But, the choice is ultimately yours.

To determine if it's preban or not.
He's being facetious as it's known that Glock will not provide any indication on the production dates on the different generations of magazines they've produced.
i hear your logic but i'm not sure there have been enough cases to really know for sure.
IMO if a self defense shooting is clearly in self-defense, e.g. attacker is armed and victim sustained GSW also, then i'm not so sure the victim (i.e. us) would be charged. if we have a magazine >10 rds, the chances of being charged goes up.
it's a risk i suppose each of us just has to assess for ourselves. considering the chances of ever needing my firearm are extremely low, and the average altercation involves 2-3 shots, i feel that having a 10 or less rounds per mag is sufficient (especially in a single stack 9mm). i would rather just not have to deal with the stupid magazine restriction laws in this state.
if it's just shooting at the range, then yeah who cares use whatever mag you like. i've got a whole pile of pre-ban 15 rd G19 and 92fs mags which are for the range, but i use none of them for SD. i don't like dealing with such absurd laws, but it all gets back to Massprudence.
just my system. YMMV.

I know that Glock won't/can't provide the info, but my point was we don't know whose mag is it as the OP didn't say it was Glock OEM or a non branded mag.
