I have never regretted buying a gun, but I have regretted selling some.  One of those was my P226.
So, I got some cash and bought one but it was a trade in and has one mag.  OEM are freaking
expensive.  

Any one have any issues with either of these after markets?

MecGar is GTG. They are OEM for many pistol manufacturers,

Pro Mag makes their magazines to a price point. You might get some that work rather well, and you might get some that will give you the opportunity to become very good at malfunction drills.

Yeah go with what RedFalconBill said and get the MecGars. They are OEM for a lot of pistol manufactures and they make really goes mag's. Do not waste your time or money on the Pro Mags as I have tried a lot of different ones for different pistols and they all gave me some kind of trouble.

I have 25 Mec-Gar mags 15s,18s& 20s. All are 100%. Promag sucks.

There are at least 3 Pro-mags in the creek at my local range. After multiple failure to feeds in my P229, I tossed the cheap mags so that I wouldn't be tempted to every use them again. Now I'm back to the normal flawless performance that I expect from my Sig.

MecGar 18 rounders or 18+2 rounders with the +2 extended baseplates are terrific 9mm P226 magazines.

the mags that came with my P320 are MecGar and they are GTG. I also have a MecGar 1911 mag and it's good also.

A big +1 for the 18-round flush-fit Mec-Gars. It's all I use.

The hundred dollar SIG OEM magazines that came with both of my X-Fives were manufactured by Mec-Gar as were the factory magazines for my P220s.

Mec-Gar actually made the Sig factory mags for quite a while if that makes a difference to you. The mags that came with my P226r are stamped MEC-GAR MADE IN ITALY on one side and SIG SAUER 9mm on the other side. The Sig Sauer is the Sig logo stamp.
