Mec-Gar 1911 Officers 9mm Magazine 8-Round Black Carbon Steel

The Mec-Gar MGCGOV9LCN delivers reliable feeding and extended service life for 1911 Officers model pistols chambered in 9mm. This 8-round magazine combines precision Italian manufacturing with heat-treated carbon steel construction to exceed OEM performance standards.

What Makes This Different

Mec-Gar magazines undergo rigorous quality control testing that includes drop tests, compression tests, and cycle testing beyond industry standards. The proprietary heat-treatment process creates a harder, more durable magazine body compared to standard factory magazines. Independent testing shows Mec-Gar magazines maintain consistent spring tension after 10,000+ loading cycles, significantly outlasting most OEM alternatives.

Key Features

• 8-round capacity maximizes firepower in compact Officers frame
• Heat-treated carbon steel body resists dents and dimensional changes
• Anti-friction coating reduces loading effort and extends spring life
• Precision-formed follower ensures reliable feeding with all bullet profiles
• Welded base plate construction eliminates separation under stress
• Compatible with all 1911 Officers models in 9mm caliber
• Witness holes allow quick round count verification

Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding reliability across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The magazine functions reliably with both ball and hollow-point ammunition, making it suitable for duty carry, competition shooting, and personal defense applications. The anti-friction coating reduces magazine insertion force by approximately 15% compared to uncoated alternatives while preventing corrosion in humid environments.
