What magazines for a Beretta 96 40 caliber

[rdm191]

What other kind of magazines will work in a Beretta 96, 40 caliber? I just traded for one and would like to find some more high capasity magazines. Thanks

I just got one about a week ago too, I bought four ten rounders for $44.00


" I have 4 MDS (a division of Beretta) 10 Round magazines for a .40 Cal Beretta 96 for sale. These are new and unused and identical to Beretta Name Factory Mags. I will take $44.00 shipped for all 4 mags. I can take Pay Pal (+3%)or Money Order. "

Got them from a seller at this forum:

The original capacity of the 96 is 11 rounds. Is it really worth the money for an extra cartridge?

If you can find them, the MegCar mags hold 12. I used to have a Beretta Centurian 96. Bought it right around at the time of the '94 ban. The gun store had a bunch of the MegCar's and they worked fine. I understand they actually make mags for Beretta and Sig, maybe others, don't know.

All the ones I've ever seen were 10-rounders. Mine came with factory 10-rounders. I thought that they all came out AFTER the ban. (I didn't realize that 11 and 12 rounders were ever available.)

I sure don't think paying a lot extra for one round or two rounds makes a lot of sense...

Once AWB go away in the Fall, the 12rd mags will come out.

mec-gar is the OEM for sig mags and many others as well...but, not for the beretta

I believe Mec-Gar made factory mags for Beretta years ago, but I'm not sure about that. I think that Beretta makes their own mags right now and MDS currently makes the USGI ones.

There are preban 11 and 12 rounders out there. Not very many 12's though.

Here's a scan of a Mec-Gar retail packaging circa 1994.
