X-Products, known for their 50 round drum magazines and now infamous for the Can Cannon, is now shipping the X-15-9mm drum magazine for Colt-pattern weapons. X-Products touts it as the “most compact 9mm drum magazine on the market.”

Built entirely from metal (steel and aluminum), the new X-15-9mm is coated in Cerakote to reduce friction. X-Products claims that the magazine needs “no lubrication and minimal maintenance to operate.”

The first limited run of 125 units is now on sale. They are currently listed “In Stock” for $199 on X-Product’s websit e.

My question: where is the Glock version? With all of the Glock-pattern AR’s and Sub-2000s, it would have wider appeal than the Colt version unless the angled magazine of the Glock may have added Engineering issues?

    Update on the possible Glock mag compatible carbine version,
    from X-Products' FB page - their reply to a customer question on this was as follows:
    "it's on the to do list."

    About that Glock drum idea: There's a Korean drum magazine for Glocks on the market (with mixed reviews). They cost about $70 back in 2012, but they're about $120-$150 now. What's up with that? Even the importer is asking $150. The panic is over, everything else is back down to (almost) pre-panic prices, except ammo.

      @Cymond if you can get 150 for a 70buck item, why wouldn't you?
