Mec-Gar Magazines

[Dustinthewind]

Does anyone have experience with Mec-Gar? Are they any good or are they junk? Specifically I am looking for info on Mec-Gar for a Ruger MK II.

Mec-Gar makes high quality magazines. They make them for most of the gun major manufacturers.

Mec-Gar is an OEM for quite a few gun manufacturers:

Beretta, FN, Browning, Colt, CZ, Kel-Tec, Kimber, Remington, Sigarms, Smith & Wesson to name a few.

I have never read anything negative about the quality or reliability of a MecGar magazine.

I avoid ProMag, USA Mag, and anything by Triple K.

They are great. Quite a few manufacturers use them as OEM.

"I avoid ProMag, USA Mag, and anything by Triple K."

Also anything by National. With the exception of some of the exceptional 1911 magazines available, MecGar is the only aftermarket manufacturer of pistol magazines that I would bet my life on.

Thanks for the replies. I have tried a Triple K and a USA mag in the past, both of which ended up getting the hammer. My son is wanting to start shooting the Action Pistol competition with me and he needs six more mags for his MK II. The Mec-Gar looked attractive compared to the price of factory Ruger mags.

All of my spare CZ75B mags are MecGar, as are most of my Beretta mags.

They're good mags.

MecGar makes great mags. I use them in my SIG P220, P226 and CZ 40B.

Concur, however I am still using 25 year old Triple K Colt 45 magazines with perfect reliability. Probably a fluke, or their quality has deteriorated since, I do not know!!!

If you want Ruger Mk II magazines, you can buy the parts from Ruger for a little more than half the price of assembled magazines.

I only have one Mec-Gar magazine and it works just fine. No complaints...I'd buy more.

Great mags.

The best OEM mags made.
Almost every manufacture you can name has used, or still uses them.

Ditto what everybody else has said. Good mags at a reasonable price. More bang for you buck than buying Kimber, Wilson, Colt, etc. mags.

Especially since Mec-Gar probably made them for Kimber, Wilson, Colt, etc.

They are OEM mags for the S&W M&P. I have four and they have performed flawlessly.
