The Mec-Gar MGWIT40LFAFC delivers enhanced feeding reliability and extended capacity for Tanfoglio Witness large frame pistols chambered in .40 S&W. This factory-specification magazine combines traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern anti-friction coating technology. Professional shooters and law enforcement officers rely on Mec-Gar magazines for their proven track record in high-round-count training sessions.
What Makes This Different
The anti-friction coating (AFC) surface treatment reduces wear between moving parts while improving feeding consistency across various ammunition weights. Unlike standard blued magazines that show wear after extended use, the AFC coating maintains its protective properties through thousands of loading cycles. Independent testing shows 15% smoother slide operation compared to uncoated alternatives. The precision-wound spring maintains consistent tension from first round to last.
Key Features
- 14-round capacity in .40 S&W caliber for extended shooting sessions
- Anti-Friction Coating reduces wear and improves feeding reliability
- Heat-treated carbon steel construction withstands high-pressure cartridges
- Factory-specification dimensions ensure drop-free magazine changes
- Precision-formed feed lips prevent double-feeds and misfeeds
- Witness holes allow quick visual round count verification
- Compatible with all Tanfoglio Witness large frame pistol variants
Field testing demonstrates consistent feeding across popular .40 S&W loads including 165-grain and 180-grain bullets. The magazine functions reliably in competitive shooting environments where rapid reloads are critical. Temperature cycling from -10°F to 120°F shows no degradation in spring tension or feeding performance. The blued finish with AFC coating resists corrosion in humid conditions while maintaining the classic appearance shooters expect.
