If I knew were some were, I wouldn't announce until after I had my fill. I've been searching all over for weeks!

This is getting a bit ridiculous....

Hey, I found one for you. Well, at least for a MkII, I guess the MkIII would be at least double? 🤡

Grrrrrrr....lol
Based on UPC, these are listed as Mk3 20-round mags:

It appears they are still available.

Well, if they had not listed all the details, I might be as skeptical....see below.

Okay

Okay :)

Yep.
And for the forum's sake (as well as mine, of course. LOL), I am taking the risk and ordering 4 mags.
I will let y'all know how this experience goes AND I will compare with the 2 mags that came with my pistol, of course.

I have never "dealt" with grabagun, but I know several folks who have had great experiences....and then several folks who had the worst possible. But that can be said of a lot of vendors as we know. In any case, I decided to just see how it goes. I had strong reservations but here we go. Order has been placed; credit card has been charged.

Thanks, y'all. 👋

Well......does grabagun seem to be on top of it? Did they give you a tracking #, etc?

I placed my order on 02FEB. I received an email shortly afterwards at 2247.
In the email, it was written:
"Orders typically ship in 3 business days. ** Due to high order volume, shipments can take 3 to 7 business days to ship.** Please be patient with us as we ship out your order as quickly as we can. Once your package ships we will send an email with a link to track your order. If you have any questions about your order please contact us at [email protected]."

With that, 7 business days from time of order would put us at 13FEB.
I have not received a follow-up email, and I did not send an email inquiry based on the above.
I will keep y'all updated.
I have follow-up.
I got an email at 1517 with the following:
"Thank you for your order from GrabAGun.com! We wanted to let you know that your order (#003920327) was shipped via FedEx, FedEx SmartPost parcel select on 2/9/2023. You can track your package at any time using the link below."

You too? :cool:
😃

I just checked tracking. The package is en route and should arrive tomorrow. It is actually going to my work. I am off site 'til Mon. I will be sure to post on Mon once I am back and I have the package in hand. I plan to post pics. Thanks, y'all.

Mine are likewise expected to arrive tomorrow and grabagun will be proven to me at that point. But I will still need a few more......thankful to find any I suppose. Actually thankful to this forum for the heads up!
FYSA, I just saw notification email from fnspecialties that they have the mags in stock.

Awesome sauce!

Mine came in today (only one day late, thanks FedEx) and they are legit FN Mk3 mags as advertised. I've noticed it is MUCH harder to release the slide once opened with an empty 20 rd mag inserted than a 10 rd (mine came with the dreadful, half-empty 10 rd mags, only way I could find a local Mk3). It's to the point of being ridiculous actually, at first I thought they could be defective! Took more effort than any pistol I've ever operated in my life to release with thumb power alone, and I have stronger than average hands. This should be improved! I'm going to leave the slide locked back for a while and continue to operate it often to break it in faster. I had been planning to sell the 10 rd mags, but I guess I'll keep them around now (good to help limit how much $$ammo$$ I blow through at the range anyway). What a contrast from my VP9 mags, which allow the slide to release like butta from the factory.

These Five-seveNs are odd beasts! Feel very strange to aim at first and have quirky ammo POA and mags. But even my VP9L seemed to have massive recoil after shooting the 5.7. And shooting my HK45 with Underwood 185 gr JHP+P (just under 600 ft-lbs) immediately after was shocking! The 5.7 with SS198s is a joy to shoot and can finally be deployed now that I have proper 20 rd mags. I want to feel like I have near mastery of the stock irons before I eventually get a red dot, but it is already a confidence inspiring tool.

This morning, fnspecialties is showing the mk3 mags once again to be out of stock.

I am glad you got your mags!
That is interesting regarding the difference in slide release with 20rd mag vs. 10 rd mag.
In my own experience, the release with 20rd mags is "not that bad". I recall that my P365X was significantly worse actually!

I do agree that it should be improved.
When I compare my current pistols, it is ridiculous how easy the slide release is on my Regulus Beta....
VP9 is on my want list! :)

This pistol is proper. I like it a lot.
It sounds like your experience thusfar has been pretty darn good....even with the quirks.

I got to work this AM and opened my GrabAGun package. The order was packed reasonably well. All 4 mags arrived (This is funny...no, not really....as I am dealing with having received 9 of 10 OK SureFeed 5.56mm 30-rd mags from another vendor).

So, here are the pics for the doubters....yeah, Benny5.7, this one's for ya. LOL. Just messin' with ya.

Thanks, y'all.
