I would like to hear about your positive/negative experiences with Mec-gar pistol mags. Thanks!
 
they produce the "factory" mags for a double arm full of auto loaders.lot of mags have stamped on them "brand name" by Mec Gar. jwr
 
Mec Gar makes the OEM mags for Sig, CZ and others.

My P226 came with Mec Gar mags and they have been flawless.

Mec Gar and Metalform are the only two brands I will buy.

The good (never a problem):
Kel-Tec P32 (7 rnds.) and P11 (10 rnds.)
CZ75B (16 rnds.)
SIG P229 .40 (12 rnds.)

Bad
Kel Tec P11 (12 rnds.) Rounds nose dive; I've tried two different magazines and extra power springs to no avail (I believe the follower skirt is too short). Then again, this could be particular to my pistol as others report no problems. I'll stick with the ten rounders as they feed perfectly in it.

Regards,
Greg
 
Got 3 for my Walther PP - work great, as good or better than original.
 
Has anyone had any experience with them in a Ruger P95?

Not exactly. I've used their magazines for a Beretta Bobcat, Browning Hi-Power, CZ75 Compact, and Ruger PC9 (which uses the same mags as a P95). I got the PC9 to feed great from both the P89/95 Mecgar mags, AND the CZ mags. :)

Yes... I bought a couple of MecGar's a few years ago for my Ruger P95DC which is my "car gun". I couldn't be more pleased! The magazines are stored in my car stuffed to capacity at all times, through all kinds of temperature extremes, etc... They have always worked flawlessly when I go to the range.
 
I own five 9mm hicap Mec-gar mags for my Hi Power. I have found them to be very reliable. I heard that they make the factory Browning mags, so I guess you can't really call them "aftermarket." I'll gladly take the Mec-gar's and pocket the extra $20 that the factory mags cost.

I guess the floorplate and Browning emblem are expensive to make?:rolleyes:
 
I have a large number of MecGar magazines for a number of different pistols. They all work exactly as intended.
 
I actually had a bad Mec-Gar I got used for a Browning HP. Weak spring after who knows how many rounds. Still, the vast, vast majority of these magazines are absolutely fine. Mec-Gar replaced mine for free ;)

What we're trying to is ...

EH, They're Okay
 
I have one for my CZ75BD and it is the only mag I have had problems with.
 
Mec-gar makes OEM mags for CZ and they work great.

I have a Kel-Tec mec-gar masg for a P11 and it works fine, but they make OEM mags for Kel-Tec as well.

As far as mags for any pistol: I'd buy factory or mec-gar. Nothing else.
 
I use Mec-gar mags in my Walther PPKs, and they perform flawlessly. They produce high-quality products and have for years and years.
