Yes, excellent mags. I just bought four 20's for $25 each delivered. Brownells has the 18rd mags for $24.99. I prefer the 20's though. |

I got to play with some in the past, no complaints. Just range use though. I've heard overwhelmingly positive about them.
This is in contrast to their single stack 1911 mags that get mixed reviews here. |

GTG The Sig 320 mags are MecGar. They are the best mags out there for Sigs and others.

I believe both have been the OEM at different times. Quote HistoryQuoted:

This is correct, several companies have made the OEM magazines to Sig specifications (15rd IIRC) The commercially produced Mec-Gar 18 and 20 round magazines are superior. |

They're good mags, but I wouldn't say superior unless capacity is the only criteria. I consider the 15 rounders superior because the follower and spring are more robust, longer lasting, and less likely to malfunction. |

The 20s will start to failing to lock back before the 18s do. Take a spring and follower out of a Sig Mec-Gar 15 rounder and an 18 and you'll see what I'm talking about. The 15 rounders are build just like an H&K mag. I'm talking about 9mm 226 mags, the 15 round 229-1 mags are a bad idea imo. |

I have a variety of mags for my 226ST and STE.
I prefer the Mecgar mags over EVERY mag avalible. Carry with an 18 and backup mag is a 20. I am pretty sure Mecgar is still the producer of magazines for the P220 series of pistols coming out of the sig factory. |

I feel like this is asked so often it should be made a sticky.
How about this: under what circumstances is buying the nickle plated mags better than the regular blued? |

Mec-Gar is the OEM supplier to most of the European manufacturers and are consider one of the premier magazine manufacturers in the world. I try them first when I want spares.
