Mec-Gar is about as good as it gets. I believe Beretta factory mags are made by Mec-Gar.

Mec-Gar are some of the best. Several manufacturers provide them from the factory with their firearms. As far as Beretta mags they are produced in-house by M.D.S. (Meccanica Del Sarca), which is a division of Beretta Firearms. I would stick with the factory PB (Pietro Beretta) marked or M.D.S. marked mags as they are of comparable quality, and they are probably cheaper than Mec-Gar, so you can get more.
CDNN has new M.D.S. mags for $19.99 new Beretta PB marked for $22.99 used PB marked for $19.99 |

I believe Mec-Gar manufactures the OEM mags for Sig among others. They just put the company's name on the mag.

I have Mec-Gars for my PPK/S, my Hi Power & my PT99. All have functioned fine so far.

MDS are factory mags for Beretta. Mec-Gar made Beretta mags in the past. FWIW, MDS and Mec-gar happen to be in the same city in Italy oddly enough.

Function very well. Monitor the feed lips for cracks.

The New checkmate mags do not have the feed problems like the old batch.
Chances are the checkmage mags you will be issued will be fine. |

I trust the Mec-Gars as much as I do the PB marked mags for my 92 - and many hold 17rd's over PB's 15 (though some are just like PB - 15 rd's).
