I certainly wouldn't extend my endorsement of Mec-Gar's 18 round Beretta magazines to cover any of the other magazines they make. I simply don't have the first hand experience. Mec-Gar makes so many magazines for so many different firearms, and I'm sure some work better than others. For example, you mentioned the Mec-Gar for the Browning Hi-Power; I also don't like the compromises to the follower Mec-Gar made to expand the capacity to 15 rounds, and wouldn't recommend that particular magazine.
Generally, I recommend folks stick with OEM pistol magazines whenever possible. I wrote my original review of the Beretta magazines because I looked down one day and realized I had accumulated six different magazines for the 92, and they were not performing equally. That was quite different from my extensive Glock experience; I had only purchased Glock OEM magazines, and aside from some minor generational evolutions, they all performed identically. My experience with Beretta 92 magazines is quite unusual in that I concluded that the aftermarket magazine solution is actually superior.
