I am trying to set up my Pelican case and I have left room for a Sig P226 (I do not own yet) that will be my next purchase.  Not owning the firearm I obviously have no access to the magazines.  I need to know the width (thickness) of the magazine body and the magazine baseplate!!!! PLEASE! Help me out if you can!  Tired of looking at all of the foam everywhere!

this is time sensitive because you can't wait until you actually own the firearm you're fitting this foam for...?

About 8.7 inches tall give or take.

Thanks for your help....



I  don't plan on buying it for some time.  I am making the foam cuts/pulling the foam and I want to have an idea of how to orient everything.  I have everything but the magazines.  I found the dimensions of the sig itself and I have left room for it.


I am just needing info on the magazine's dimensions.


ETA: I see your confusion, this case has 2 suppressors, 4 handguns and about a dozen magazines...it isn't a case for one firearm....

Thank you, I am needing the width, however.  The baseplate and the magazine body.  I am standing them upright but the width is what I am limited on space.

height 4 3/16
body front to back 1 1/4
body side to side 13/16
baseplate front to back 1 3/4
baseplate side to side 1
thickness 1/16

ETA - seems the same for SIG or Mec Gar

ETA 2 - they're angled. I measured up the back. Go with 4.855 as the extreme height if you're going to lay them on the back.

All of my P226 mags are old school dove tail up the back.  The newest one I have is marked Mil/Leo only, so it was made some time between 1994 and 2004.  They are 9mm.

That said, the body of the first random one I picked up measured .805" in width.  The base plate is 1.05" wide.  The base plate is 1.77" front to back.

Height of a loaded mag is 4.855".  The body front to back is 1.27".

Hope this helps.

The base plates on mine vary quite a bit front to back.  I have already put my micrometer up before I looked at all of them, but some of them are probably an 1/8" shorter than the others.  Not sure, but the longer ones seem to be the older ones.

If you know for sure you are getting a 226, go buy a mag or ten, the election is coming PANIC MAY BEGIN AGAIN
