The ProMag RUGA38 extends magazine capacity for Ruger SR40 pistols to 25 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition. This extended magazine provides significantly more firepower than standard factory magazines while maintaining reliable feeding and function. Built from blued steel construction, it delivers durability for extended range sessions and competitive shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 15-round factory magazines, the RUGA38 nearly doubles ammunition capacity without compromising reliability. The steel body construction provides superior strength compared to polymer alternatives, while the blued finish offers corrosion resistance. Internal spring tension maintains consistent feeding pressure across all 25 rounds, ensuring reliable chambering from first shot to last.
