Italian engineering meets American firearm standards in this factory-grade replacement magazine.
What Makes This Different
Mec-Gar manufactures magazines for major firearm companies worldwide, bringing OEM-level quality to the aftermarket. The nickel plating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued steel magazines, extending operational life in humid conditions. Heat-treated carbon steel construction maintains dimensional stability under repeated loading cycles, while the anti-tilt follower design prevents nose-diving malfunctions common with worn factory magazines.
