The Rock Island ACT-MAG 17-round magazine extends the capacity of Beretta 92FS and M9 pistols beyond the standard 15-round configuration. This aftermarket magazine provides additional firepower for competitive shooting, duty applications, and extended range sessions where frequent reloading interrupts performance.
What Makes This Different
The ACT-MAG design incorporates a reinforced steel body with blued finish that resists corrosion better than standard phosphate coatings. The magazine spring maintains consistent tension through the extended capacity range, reducing feed failures common in stretched factory springs. Internal geometry matches Beretta specifications for reliable chambering of various 9mm ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains.
Key Features

Field testing demonstrates reliable feeding across multiple ammunition manufacturers including Federal, Winchester, and Speer loads. The magazine functions in temperatures from -10°F to 140°F without spring tension loss. Competition shooters report consistent performance through 500+ round training sessions. The extended baseplate provides positive grip surface for tactical reloads under stress conditions.
