The Mec-Gar MGRP8517N delivers enhanced capacity and reliable feeding for Ruger P-series pistols with its 17-round 9mm Luger configuration. This nickel-finished magazine extends shooting sessions while maintaining the precise tolerances that competitive shooters and law enforcement professionals demand.
What Makes This Different
Mec-Gar magazines feature heat-treated carbon steel construction with nickel plating that resists corrosion better than standard blued finishes. The anti-friction coating reduces wear during high-volume shooting, while precision-wound springs maintain consistent tension through thousands of loading cycles. Factory specifications ensure drop-free reliability that matches or exceeds OEM performance standards.
