The ETS Carbon Smoke 16-round magazine for Glock .40 S&W is a high-capacity handgun magazine engineered for shooters who demand reliable performance and real-world durability. Built for Glock Models 22, 23, 24, and 27, this transparent polymer mag lets you see your round count and ammo type at a glance—a practical advantage over solid-walled alternatives when you're managing load-outs at the range, in the field, or during training.
ETS brought the same advanced transparent polymer technology from their proven AR magazine line to create a .40 S&W mag that handles the abuse serious shooters throw at it. The Carbon Smoke finish resists UV degradation and maintains its clarity through months of sun exposure, while the polymer itself endures extreme temperature swings from -60°F to 180°F without becoming brittle or losing function. Chemical resistance—from solvents and fuels to common field conditions—means the mag stays reliable whether you're cleaning, traveling, or shooting in harsh environments.
Practical design details set this mag apart: the specially contoured base plate includes a grip rib that makes extraction smooth, even under stress. The mag reliably holds the slide back when empty, feeds without failure across all ammo types including hollow points, and drops free from your Glock. It's also fully compatible with aftermarket base plates, so you can customize it to your setup. ETS subjected these mags to thousands of rounds of testing across multiple Glock generations and ammunition brands—the same rigorous protocol they apply to earn the same reliability reputation as factory Glock magazines.
For shooters who want high capacity without sacrificing visibility or durability, the Carbon Smoke 16-rounder delivers both.
