Are P226 & P228 magazines interchangeable? The P226 mags look very similar to the Beretta 92 mags. Are they interchangeable? -KW |

Hmmm..... A .40SW or .357Sig P226 can use ANY P226 magazine. I THINK that a 9mm P226 can only use the 9mm mags due to the extra spacing on the feed lips of the larger caliber magazines. However, I have successfully used 9mm mags in .357 P226's. P228's can use P226(9mm) mags, but not the other way around. Mecgar makes a +2 capacity flush fitting mag for 9mm P226's and P228's. Sig mags an extended 20rd mag for either gun. Don't know how many rounds of 40/357 it would hold, though presumably it would work. A few others (Eagle, USA) make 30rd 9mm mags, though mostly reported as junky and unreliable. Hope this helps! |
