This is the most popular pistol in the world. So, where are the mags that cost less than 25 bucks per? |
| check CDNN Sports on line (cdnninvestments.com). They have a variety of HP mags, in stock. I've bought Mec Gar mags from them before, good price, good mags. Right now they have new 15 rd Argentine mags for $14.99. I am tempted to try a few but I just don't really need any more. |
| there are some MecGars (both blued and nickel) on gunbroker for an awesome price (less than some site sponsors). I am tempted to buy those as many of the sight sponsors don't stock the nickel ones. I just need to make sure I don't accidently bid/buy the ones that are on the shit list in this thread |

I love the Mec-Gar 15s. Smooth, slick, and have yet to cause a misfeed by themselves. Add Pearce +2 baseplates and make a new insert for them, and they become 18-round mags. My experience with the KRD (argentine) mags has been less than optimal. Slapping a loaded mag in with the slide locked back resulted in the weight of the stack wedging the top round in between the feed lips (would not go into battery upon releasing the slide). This was all three I had. |

I had the same results. They are not a bargain if they dont work. I have 3 that dont work. Buy the MecGar 15`s. They work great. |

I have bought hundreds of dollars worth of mags and several guns from CDNN(they are a site sponsor and have a forum in Industry). In my experience they are GTG. Here's a link, the Argy mags are on sale for less than 10 bucks apeice right now. heres a link
On a side note, all the Argentine mags I own needed new springs right off the bat. Id buy Argys at 10.00 each, but any more than that, Mecgar, or Browning OE for me. |

Try here https://gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php?main_page=logoff Someday someone will show me where the FAQ is on how to embed a hotlink  https://gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php?main_page=logoff Right below the dialog box is a row of little icons titled "Insert Tags". Copy the hot link you want to insert, and then click on the second tag from the right hand side, the one with the globe and "racetrack". A box will pop up where you can enter a descripion, like, "Greg Cote Website" or you can just ignore it like I did and click on "OK". That will take you to a second box that will pop up. Paste your target hot link into the second box, click "OK" and that should do it for you. |

Would you mind a little more info about this? Particularly, the part about making a new insert. It's a strip of 3/8" wide brass about...1mm thick. Bent such that it just fits in the baseplate and a finger extends up the front face to lock the baseplate onto the magazine. The tips are filed and slightly bent so that the follower smoothly rides up onto the brass. The bottom edges of the follower have also been lightly filed in so they don't catch on the brass fingers.  
If you already have the Mec-Gar 15s, then it's a worthwhile pursuit. But if you're still buying mags, just buy the Mec-Gar 20 rounders instead. They don't stick out much further than my modded 15s and yet hold two more rounds. I only modded my mags because the Kareen came with a perfectly good 14-rounder, and 18+18+14=50. I'm a bit OCD-ish like that. |

Still in stock, I snagged some of the 13 round Mec-Gars  |

Looks like I'm going to have to settle for 10 round mags. I can't find 13's in stock any where. 
I hope this panic stuff dies down quickly. Ammoclip.com -If you can Stomach the price. It's just retail. At least they're not doubled in price like AR-15 magazines. I got a CDNN flyer in my email. KRD 15/17s for $18, IIRC. |

KRD 15/17s for $18, IIRC. I'm good on mags for everything I own (thank god & foresight). Yeah, one persons " good price" is another mans "gouge". So I tread lightly these days. Some of these members would cry if they knew what I/we paid for some of this stuff "back in the day". I started buying 32-35yrs. ago. |
