That's freaking brilliant! Someone needs to epoxy little lexan windows into a glock frame. That would be an AWESOME project.

Personally, I prefer the rabbit trail about Transparent Aluminum from Star Trek IV:

Not until Scotty comes up with Transparent Aluminum! "Hello, Computer!"

Transparent aluminum has been around forever - it's called sapphire, and is too brittle, not to mention too expensive.

Actually, pretty certain this has been done, and is being used in armored windows.

It's a crying shame when the kids don't know the classics.

Anyhoo, as to the mag itself....it's different and some people will buy it because they think it looks cool. Useful? Maybe in competition....maybe. Without the aforementioned clear grip, I doubt how useful it will be, but hey....as long as you have fun with it.

That means they can get through airport security, right?

If they'd then stipple that clear window, then they'd have something.

This way you will know if it's loaded......

It just seems wrong but I don't know why

I'd buy one. I like the 10/22 mags you can see inside too. Quick view if they're loaded and kind of a fun "novelty"...

 

[Sniper 79]

Yuk! As others have stated why? You cant see the mag in the handle of the gun. Looks flimsy to me. Glock mags have steel in them.

Now a AR mag or something like that maybe I could see it as useful for range toy only. I do like my PMAG with the window in it. Then again I only have the one PMAG. I like stuff that has been around awhile and has a proven track record. Factory Glock parts only for me.

In all of the pictures I have seen of this, there don't appear to be any metal feed lips on the mag. I have to wonder how long these would hold up...

 

[IndyGlockMan]

About as good of an idea as Clear Pepsi. Remember that stuff?

Anyone remember the ASP 9?

Not long at all!

Seem to remember reading somewhere that the darker the plastic the stronger. I could be wrong....ive been that way before.
