| They are readily available and very inexpensive right now. I have modified them for a Taurus 99 by slightly enlarging the mag catch slot. I have also made them work in an Arex Zero 1 by cutting a new catch on the front of the mag tube. Has anyone used them in something else? |

| I have read they will work in a High Power with some judicial use of a Dremel tool. I might try that tonight. |

I have looked into this as well in the past, here is a list off of reddit of ones that apparently work if you modify or cut a new catch cutout: Glock G43X Glock G48 Arex Zero (thanks u/CDKJudoka) Gen 1.0 S&W M&P 40 (thanks u/antiquated_reality) CZ75 series SIG P226 Taurus S&W 59 Springfield XD Walther P99 (thanks u/sovereigndevelopment) AREX Zero (thanks) Canik TP9 series (thanks /u/Logizyme) M&P 9 |

I just got an email notification that gun mag warehouse has the ones I'm looking for in stock, but I've spent all my fun money for awhile. |

I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

I bought 20 on Tacswap for $125 Yeah with as many guns as they can be made to work with, kind of hard not to lay some back into storage just in case. I have a pile of them, and don’t even own a Beretta 92 currently! |

 PT 92/99 just involved making the slot a bit wider. I did a half dozen in probably 10 minutes and it shows as they are a little rough. They function fine though and you could go slow with a file if appearance bothers you. |

A little rough... We can clearly see you are not a WECSOG graduate! There is another certification required for Dremel use. |

The one I modified for a P226 wouldn't hold the slide back on an empty mag. I had to superglue a little piece of plastic to the follower to build it up a little to push the slide stop up. |
