Menendez Magazine v2.0

#glock#magazine#menendez#fmda#9mm

Overview

The MenMag v2.0 is an update to the original MenMag v1.0, the first 3D-printable Glock magazines. The v2.0 solves the biggest issues with the original: difficult printing, limited lifespan, nosediving, tight magwell fitment, and inconsistency between prints. Every part was redesigned from scratch (no v1.0 parts are compatible).

In dry-cycle testing, magazines lasted over 1,000 rounds without the body wearing out, a massive improvement over the v1.0. Live-fire testing showed perfect reliability across hundreds of rounds in multiple applications.
