Question Glock mags in Sigma: Fact or Fiction?

I've been seeing alot of contradiction as to whether Glock mags will work in a Sigma. Some argue that with the controversial beginning of Sigmas its no problem at all, and holds true to the VE line. I've also seen some confusing the caliber of .40S&W as meaning for a S&W [Sigma] gun. Further, I discovered accidentally that my M&P mag will insert and engage in the Sigma, but doesn't function well (but thats another matter). I haven't found a definitive answer anywhere.

Does anyone have any personal experience with using a Glock mag in a Sigma? Personally, I find the concept revolting, but inquiring minds want to know.

It is pure BS.
Just take a minute to look at the very different grip angles of the Sigma ( 1911 angle) and the Glock (Luger angle, more bent back) and it becomess obvious that switching magazines is not even remotely possible.
And yes, I've handed both to skeptics and let them convince themselves.
Another obnoxious urban legend that won't die.

I thought as much. I'll be glad to put that one to rest. Many thanks, gentlemen!

+1 You can set a Sigma Mag on the table straight up not a Glock Mag
