The Mec-Gar MGCGGOV10N delivers reliable feeding and extended capacity for 10mm 1911 Government pistols. This nickel-finished magazine combines Italian precision manufacturing with proven reliability for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Mec-Gar magazines feature heat-treated carbon steel construction with controlled-feed geometry that reduces malfunctions compared to standard factory magazines. The nickel coating provides superior corrosion resistance and smoother feeding cycles. Independent testing shows Mec-Gar magazines maintain spring tension 15% longer than competing brands over 10,000 loading cycles.
Key Features
- 8-round capacity for 10mm Auto cartridges in 1911 Government frame
- Heat-treated carbon steel body with nickel plating for corrosion resistance
- Anti-tilt follower design prevents nose-diving and feeding issues
- Music wire springs rated for over 10,000 compression cycles
- Witness holes for quick round counting during competition
- Drop-free design with textured basepad for positive grip
- Compatible with standard 1911 Government 5-inch barrel models
The controlled-feed lip geometry ensures consistent cartridge presentation to the chamber across various 10mm loadings from 180-grain to 200-grain bullets. Competition shooters report smooth feeding with both factory ammunition and handloads. The nickel finish resists fouling buildup and simplifies cleaning after extended range sessions or duty use.
