The Mec-Gar MGBRHP13B delivers factory-grade reliability for Browning Hi-Power and Springfield SA-35 pistols with enhanced 13-round capacity. This blued steel magazine extends shooting sessions while maintaining the proven feed geometry that made Hi-Power magazines legendary. Professional shooters and collectors rely on Mec-Gar's precision manufacturing to match or exceed original equipment specifications.
What Makes This Different
Mec-Gar produces magazines for major firearm manufacturers worldwide, bringing OEM-level quality control to the aftermarket. The MGBRHP13B features heat-treated steel construction with precise follower geometry that ensures consistent feeding across various 9mm ammunition weights. Unlike generic alternatives, this magazine undergoes the same dimensional tolerances and spring tension testing used in factory production.
Key Features
- 13-round capacity extends standard 10-round Hi-Power magazines by 30%
- Heat-treated carbon steel body with corrosion-resistant blue finish
- Anti-tilt follower design prevents feeding malfunctions and double-feeds
- Chrome-silicon spring rated for over 10,000 compression cycles

Range testing demonstrates reliable feeding with 115-grain through 147-grain 9mm loads, including hollow points and flat-nose competition rounds. The magazine's geometry accommodates the Hi-Power's feed ramp angle, reducing the jamming issues common with poorly-manufactured aftermarket magazines. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters report consistent performance through thousands of rounds without spring fatigue or follower wear.
