Glock 17 & 19 gen4 magazines – $19.99

*There are two separate links in this header, Clicking on “Glock 17” will take you to the deal on the Glock 17 magazines, clicking on “19 Gen4 Magazines” will take you to the deal on the Glock 19 magazines.

What the deal is:

Combat Armory is selling OEM Glock magazines for both the 17 and the 19, meaning they’re selling magazines for any 9×19 Glock in 17 or 15 rounds respectively. Glock magazines are all one-way compatible, meaning that magazines for a larger pistol are compatible with any smaller-framed handgun in the same caliber. It doesn’t work both ways, Glock 17 magazines will fit into a Glock 19, but G19 magazines won’t work in the G17.

Why it’s a good deal:

Glock 17 and 19 magazines MSRP for $29.99, but are being sold here for $19.99, $10 or just over 33% off. It’s a good price-point, especially when you consider these are OEM Glock magazines, not made by a third-party manufacturer.

Ruger LCP in .380 AUto and $50 gift card – $209.99

What the deal is:

Sportsman’s Guide is selling the Ruger LCP. The LCP’s small size makes it perfect for pocket-carry or concealed-carry during hot summer months, or whenever it’s difficult to conceal a larger handgun. It holds 6+1 rounds of 380 Auto, is 5.16″ long with a 2.75″ barrel, stands 3.60″ inches high, is 0.82″ wide, and weighs 9.6 oz. The blued barrel has a 1:16″ twist. It comes with a single magazine.

Why it’s a good deal:

At $209.99 (or $199.49 for Buyer’s Club members), it’s 19.2% off it’s MSRP of $259.99, which is an okay deal. If that were all it probably wouldn’t have made the list.

Sportsman’s also has 380 Auto for sale starting at $0.19 cents per round, meaning that $50 could keep your Ruger LCP fed for quite some time.
