The ProMag RUG17 delivers reliable feeding and consistent performance for Ruger LC series pistols. This 10-round magazine features heat-treated blued steel construction that resists corrosion while maintaining proper spring tension through thousands of loading cycles.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer alternatives, the RUG17 uses heat-treated steel construction with precision-formed feed lips that maintain dimensional stability under stress. The internal spring system utilizes music wire rated for over 10,000 compression cycles, while the follower design ensures smooth ammunition feeding without hang-ups. This magazine meets the original equipment specifications for drop-free operation and positive lockup.
