Looking for reasonably priced 15rnd mags for my wife's P95 that are reliable.  I've seen plenty of no name mags ranging from $10 up.  I've been down the no name aftermarket jamomatics path.  Factory mags would be nice, but I've yet to see any for a reasonable price.  Anyone have experience with Mech Gear mags, there is a place locally selling them NIW for $40 a piece.  Seems a little steep, but not compared to the NIW factory.

Thoughts?

Are you sure it wasn't Mec-Gar?
If it was they are good mags, they make factory mags for several manufacturers.

Mec-Gar is worldest largest OEM of magazines.

I can also recommend Pro-Mag, I don't have a P85, but they work well in Baretta, Sig228, and CZ75. What I would do is buy one, and take it out to the range and blast the heck out it, and if you're satisfied get some more, or get a refund.

I've got a new factory 15rd mag for a 9mm P89. Not sure if it fits your model though.

Yeah, I think it was Mec-Gar.

I'm pretty sure that all the ruger P series mags in 9mm are interchangable.

If I could just find some at a decent price...

Mec-Gar is top quality, and the price isn't too bad for pre-bans... you'd probably pay the same online after shipping.  Go for it!

Found some Ramlines for $10 and some Promags for $20 apiece.  Are these worth messing with?

I haven't seen a Ramline that fed properly, but I have had good results with the ProMags.
Have you checked "Cheaper Than Dirt" they had some PMI 17 rounders that are supposed to be pretty good.

He has a P95, not a P85.  Everything I have ever tried ProMags in was a miserable flop, including Rugers and Sigs and I will never buy another ProMag and I would recommend strongly against them.

Well, personally for me I didn't have any problems with Ramlines. The Ramline mags have a flat-type spring rather than a coil, so they can hold 2 more rounds than the factory mags. I have used Ramline Baretta 92, & Browning P35 High-power,  and didn't have any problems with them. These mags were bought back around 1992. I don't know if they are still being manufactured in sine the '94 AWB though.

Promags have been fine in my FEG hi-power clone, but some 147 grn. loads won't fit in them.
