This list is not authoritative, nor does it guarantee a given mag will fit and feed in listed weapons.  Don't order 87 mags until you've tested your weapon w/ a given mag, and checked actual function at a shooting range.  Be sensible about caliber - no mag will feed .45 ACP into a SUB200 - the SUB2000 isn't in .45 ACP.

Sometimes, in a pinch:

"thats not gonna work it's a Sig mag!"

I don't know of any.  I did a quick search and, to my surprise, I did not find any foreign copies of the 41.  I would think that the 41 would be an excellent example of a design that the Chinese could (poorly) copy and make a few bucks doing so.

I tested this last week with the P09/P10F mag and it functioned including slide locking back on last round.  The full size mag sticks out about an inch below the mag well, I didn’t have a P-10c mag to test.  

Attached File



The CZ mag has a more tapered top (CZ is the top mag in the picture below) but it works in case there is a supply problem with the Arex

Yes.  The frames for the SW99 were made by Walther in Ulm.  S&W made the slides and barrels.  The only outlier is the SW99 45, as Walther made no 45acp pistols until the PPQ came along.

Of course. Looks like Magnum Research had a model as well, are the magazines compatible?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_P99

The Magnum Research MR Eagle was another joint American/German venture, with Walther producing a black polymer frame with integral steel rails similar to the P99 series, only differing in grip texture and with the short magazine release paddles from the first gen P99. For its part, Magnum Research Inc. produced a 416 stainless steel slide and 4140 CrMo steel barrel in their Pillager, MN factory in the United States. The MR Eagle series pistols were available in 9×19mm Parabellum (MR9) and .40 S&W (MR40).

Added the Saiga 12ga mag, as I've seen "other" scatterguns w/ Saiga mags.  I presume there's an "other" scattergun that takes the MKA1919 Turkish mag, but if not, I'll take it off.  Remington, before the bankruptcy, had announced mag fed 870s in both shotgun and "other" scattergun formats, but looks like the new company out of bankruptcy has chose to orphan those guns - not even ProMag offers a Remington shotgun mag.  Mossberg has a pump out w/ detachable magazines, but no "other" scattergun using it.

Yes indeed.  I have several MR mags that I use in my P99s.  Same mag as the ones that come with P99s with the Magnum Research logos molded in the floor plate as opposed to a Walther logo.  All made by Mec Gar I do believe.

In the days before the AWB, RamLine made a clear plastic mag touted as fitting both the Mini-14 and AR-15. They were cheap enough, so I bought half a dozen, and yup, they worked equally badly in both rifles. Absolutely would not feed in an AR, and when you pulled back the op rod of the Mini, the entire contents of the mag went flying skyward-- Might have worked better if they had known they needed metal stiffeners in the feed lips--

I listed that as the Ram Line TriMag.  I've got quite a few from picking em up here & there @ gunshows, and have run em in my AR & Commando223's Mini-14 w/o issues.  I've tried them in 3 AR-180's - they wouldn't fit in 2 of em, one of em being a Sterling - but fit in another Sterling & operated the bolt catch.

Maybe the modern M4 ramp makes the difference?

Compiling an exhaustive list of guns that use Glock mags is a fool's errand.  They have become the AR mag of the PCC, and I am always amused by the rage against them.  But we're not going to try to list every single PCC example available.  Noteworthy guns, like the Mossberg, will be listed.

In general, I'm not going to note that unless a gun is out of production, such as the Goncz.  1911 mags can be cut to work in HiPoints as well, but I feel the better solution is the Thingmeister mag catch.  Also true of Uzi mags to convert to Uzi Pro or Colt 9mm mags.

I've been in a bit of a bother about the .308 mags - LR308, Armalite, M-14, FAL, & CETME/G3, as well as the AICS mags.  If someone will post up pics of a commercially produced pistol which uses one of those mags, I'll post up that mag above.

I need to add the Sterling mags, as there was a Sterling pistol imported here, IIRC.
5/10/2021 9:22:41 PM EDT
[#39]
Obscure ones, but:

- the Steyr M-series (M9 , M40) will work with Smith and Wesson Sigma magazines IF you cut a new mag catch slot.

- Colt SMG 9mm works with Uzi magazines IF you cut a new mag slot

- Springfield Armory XD pistols in 9mm generally work with their .40 magazines, and the 10 round .40 mags hold 12 rounds of 9mm for those of you in unconstitutional ban states.

Thanks for doing this, old friend.  
5/10/2021 9:54:41 PM EDT
[#40]
Pleased to.  Given the scarcity of Steyr mags, I'll add the mag slot conversion.  Had already noted the origin of Colt mags.  I'm not going to list inside pool, like the XD & S&W 41.  Wasn't there an AR magblock that took XD mags?
5/10/2021 11:44:38 PM EDT

Went looking for mag blocks. Found the Stern & the X-Mag, covering Glock(of course), Beretta 92, CZ P10, CZ 75, SIG P250/320, & M&P mags (including .45 ACP).

Any magblocks I'm missing?  A 1911 one was announced, but I've never seen it produced.  I'd think an XD mag block would sell well.

I learned this from a supply guy who worked with the SEALs at Dam Neck years ago.  They would notch the Beretta mags to work in both the P226 and the M9.  My wife carries an M9A1 and I carry a P226.  I wanted some extra mags but wasn't going to pay Sig prices.  Bought a pile of surplus M9 mags and made a jig to notch them for the Sig mag catch.  Worked great and we can interchange magazines.  For EDC I still use the OEM mags, but for range days/training it's nice to have a shit ton of cheap mags.
