What is the key element of every pistol on the market? The one factor that can determine the weapon’s performance—and it’s also typically a component not made by the manufacturer (and it’s not ammo): Magazines. Aside from ammunition, they are the one essential item for your gun to operate flawlessly.
After 13 years working for a high-volume dealer, most firearm issues I encountered were related to magazines. So, having quality and dependable magazines is crucial. That’s where a company like Xtech comes in.
Xtech was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. The American Made company “unapologetically disrupts the magazine and accessory marketplace (at least that’s what they say) with its relentless innovation and passion to raise the standard in its market. Every product produced has the objective to be passed down for generations.”
That’s a lot to live up to.
New Product
With the proliferation of Glock 19-compatible handguns, it’s understandable that Xtech’s latest releases are designed for Glock-style 19 pistols. Additionally, this doesn’t even account for the numerous pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) and various other firearms that also use Glock magazines. Meaning, Glock magazines, in a sort of way, have become an industry standard—or at least a standard to be measured by.
The two new models, the MTX 19+5 extension and the MAG19 EXT, increase the capacity of Glock 19 magazines. The MTX 19+5 adds five rounds to a standard 15-round magazine, boosting capacity without sacrificing reliability. Meanwhile, the MAG19 EXT offers a 20-round steel-reinforced magazine body that maximizes firepower in a compact package.

These two new magazine options from Xtech meet the needs of many shooters who prefer the Glock 19 frame size but want the flexibility of a longer magazine. While shooters can use Glock 17 or larger mags, they don’t fit seamlessly and look unsightly. Xtech solves this problem by offering higher-capacity solutions that were designed to work with a Glock 19 frame. Check out xtechtactical.com for any other magazine needs.
