Mec-Gar Upgraded 9mm Magazines – The Mag Life

Mec-Gar USA has upgraded their 9mm 10 & 19 round CZ 75B magazines. The 19-round magazine consists of a 17-round tube with the black aluminum +2 base pad installed. And for consumers that live in states with magazine restrictions, the 10-round magazine tube is dimpled to reduce capacity. Each magazine has Mec-Gar’s proprietary anti-friction coating which makes loading and unloading the magazine easier when shooting which leads to fewer malfunctions. They have been tested to fit into competition boxes.

Mec-Gar USA, part of the widely known Mec-Gar magazine family, has upgraded two of their 9mm magazines, the 19 round, and 10 round magazines. Both magazines are constructed of heat-treated carbon steel and feature springs made of high tensile music wire.

According to Mec-Gar USA Vice-President David Kochol, “the magazines have the high quality and attention to detail expected of Mec-Gar magazines.”

Attributes include:

  • Anti-friction coating helps reduce malfunctions.
  • Body manufactured from carbon steel & heat-treated for strength.
  • Spring manufactured from Type D music wire.
  • Aluminum basepad with a texture to aid in removing the magazine from the pistol.
  • Numbered witness holes for remaining-round calculation.

Patti Miller is one of the most awesome females in the tactical/firearm (or any) industry. Imagine a tall, hawt, dangerous Laura Ingalls Wilder type with cool hair and a suppressed blaster and you’ll be getting the idea. What’s interesting is that in addition to being a willing brawler and intrepid adventuress, she’s also an Ent/Ogier level gardener and a truly badass baker.
