Quoted:
Are the ACT mags gtg? The price is right but I don’t want to spend money on something that doesn’t work. Does the M9A3 use the same magazines as the M9? M9 uses 15 rd mags, beretta made mags are blued, mil contract mags are parkarised. M9A1 uses PVD coated 15 rd mags. M9A3 uses PVD coated 17 rd mags. They are all different but interchangeable. No experience with ACT mags. |

If not that, Mecgar. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 25 each is steep even on sale. I’m sure they’re good. The ACT’s are available for under 20. I’d consider them for range practice mags as long as they are reasonably functional. ETA: Yep, just checked. After entering that code 19.96 per factory 17 round mag. Pretty good if you ask me. Looks like it is the highly polished blued finish like what my 92A1 came with. Are the ACT mags 15s or 17s? I've only ever seen 17s from Beretta. |

The 17 round factory Berettas have a history of the plastic floor plates cracking when dropped.
I personally stick with the MecGar 18's. They are $21.02 right now at Manventure Outpost. I just picked up $200 worth of various mags including some Beretta 18's. |
