I have an ACT mag for my 1911 (8rd) and it fails to lock the slide back 50% or more of the time. My Mec Gar mags never have that issue

Everything that ACT makes is crap. Avoid them.

MecGar mags are what you want for your Beretta.

Ill buy cheap mags for $10 or less. (I knew I should have bought more of those 96 mags from the ee at $7.50 shipped
 )
But I don't see any value added to the ACT mags when I KNOW the mecgar 18 round mags for $19.99 are gtg |

Quote HistoryI have seen them before. Those have been discussed at length over on the Beretta forum. Not taking chances with them. But thanks anyway. Was hoping there was something cheaper than the $22.85 ones at AIM. |

See post #7. I've never tried Beretta ACT mags but they make great mags for the Sig P220. Also bought them from "Greg" (GregCoteLLC.com). |

Yes, that's my only experience with them as well. Those are the only mags other than a few older zipper backs that I run in my 220. Since I haven't had much luck with this thread on the original question I have searched the Beretta forum and have found several who really like the ACT mags and one who regularly uses them in competition. Including the one you linked, thank you. I'm going to try a few from Greg. |

He got what I got ad it seems one of the 2 followers might not be locking the slide back. Ill take some pics later of the 19.99mags, 15 round mecgars, and 18 round mecgars. If they're fakes Im ok with it because I cannot tell the difference and there are a few small molding marks that are identical across all 3 which leads me to believe they are in fact mec gars |

I have been burned before buying mags that were supposed to be a particular brand but were not marked nor in that makers packaging. For the $5 difference I'm just not willing to chance it. I still need about 10 for my Clinton stash and a few bucks savings each would make a difference.
Wideners had Mecgar 18's (marked and in Mecgar packaging) for $16 each back either in the winter of fall of last year. I could kick myself for not buying more back then. I tried to go back and get more but they were already sold out. |
