4th gen mags?

[Aljames]

So are we considering the new mags with the SF cutout 4th gen? I just ordered 5 online and was curious if there is a distinction between them and 3rd gen mags? Thanks

Yes, they have a cut out for the Ambi release.... Not sure what an "SF" cutout is though. You answered your own question.

I meant the short frame cutout or the ambi mag release notch, however you want to put it. The SF's are the only ones with the ambi mag release right?

[OgenRwot]

Yes and only if you have the ambi mag release. There are newer SF's with single mag release because the ambi was hitting on some poli holsters.

SF = Short Frame
MB = Ambi-magazine release

MB is an option on the Glock Model 21SF.
SF is not an option on the Glock Model 17MB and Model 19MB (both currently available in the EU).

I would also think that the ambi-mag cut magazines would be considered 8th generation magazines since it comes after the 7th generation.

The 21sf is available with an Ambi mag release, had one, sold it.
