Beretta 92 Magazines

[BigT]

Not exactly the same mag but hopefully useful. I use the Mec Gar mags in my Shadow. Very very similar to the Beretta models. 10 000 rounds through the set of six (2x 19 round afc and 4x 17 round afc) since March. No issues at all.

Being the the gamer fag that I am , they do get cleaned if they touch the ground in matches , but they're never cleaned in practice.

I would not not hesitate to carry Mec Gars if I carried a Pizza Gun ,CZ or Sig. In fact I would choose them over factory.

are these the OEM PVD coated mags? Or is ACT-MAG not the OEM mag manufacturer?

I'm not sure who makes the OEM's for Beretta, but PVD isn't phosphate.

I own two of the 18-round Mec-Gars and two of the 17-round 92A1 mags. I run the 17-round 92A1 mags in my 92FS for home defense. I use the Mec-Gars frequently for range work but I prefer the factory Beretta mags for defense. I also own 5 of the 15-round standard mags.

Never a problem with any of them. There are a lot of great mag options available for the 92-series.

Is the following Fred's link?

Also, Sportsmans Depot has 18rd Mec-Gars for $14.99 (link was provided by someone in another thread here on PF):

Damn it! PFers must have jumped on them quick, because they are all out of stock. Anyone else got a link for such a sweet low price?

I see that they are the same SKU, Tom. But this one is labeled as Beretta (original equipment) manufactured rather than Mec Gar. What gives? Is it because Mec Gar makes the factory magazines for Beretta?

[Hot Sauce]

Ah, I glossed over that part. Thanks for the clarification!

New factory 18 round Beretta magazines? These look very much like the 18 round Mec-Gars to me (which is a good thing). Wonder when these will appear stateside...some cool stuff appearing on the Beretta-Italy site lately.

At a recent match a partially spent 18 round McGar Beretta mag went inoperable after a drop, with a follower and remaining rounds stuck solidly mid - tube. Had to take it apart. First and only occurrence, just an FYI.

Almost any high capacity magazine will do this if dropped in a partially loaded. It is common and not really an indicatory of reliability of the mag or the gun.

Those are MecGar magazines. You will see them coming in guns from the factory shortly. Also, the 15 round MecGar 92 Compact mags have a base plate made by Beretta owned MDC in Italy. They are finally working together to give us what we want. ;-)
