They are. After taking a few apart it’s pretty clear. The megcar design and spec is identical for many companies with the only real difference being the shape of the base plate and the location of the mag catch. Granted megcar does make a few others are are different shape. I really want to see MecGar make a USP magazine. I think I figured out how to make USP 9 and 40 mags from Sig mags.but it’s just at the drawing and concept stage. I need to play with a few things first. I know it sounds crazy though. But being able make a functioning HK 30rd mag for the USP that doesn’t cost $120 would be nice. Might even be possible from a Glock 33rd stick. Again though. I have to keep playing with the idea and probably destroy a few mags in the process. |

GSG 1911-22 magazine can be used in the Colt Ace 22 and the Kimber 22 Conversion unit. The mag requires a simple modification. The rear lug of the right side feed lip must be rounded over slightly. Very easy to do with a small file or emery. Very quick and simple. As you know original Colt Ace 22 mags are super expensive and must be purchased used. Sometimes they work and many times they will not. It sucks to buy a $100+ magazine and have it fail to work reliably. The GSG 1911-22 mags are much less expensive and are readily available. The Kimber 22lr conversion unit comes with a polymer magazine that is essentially useless. Again the GSG 1911-22 mag works great. In my Kimber framed gun the polymer mags is garbage. It will not even lock back on empty. The GSG mag works much better. Be aware, the GSG mag bodies are made of ZAMAK. Its soft and can be deformed. DO NOT drop them on hard surfaces. Once the feed lips get bent good luck bending them back into spec. Just trash the mag and buy new. |

Originally Posted By backbencher: Are they both part of the Para Ordnance/2011/RIA/Springfield mag family, or are these different altogether? 2011 mags are interchangeable to some degree. Para Ordnance tube dimensions vary slightly, they are larger than 2011 mags and the mag catch slot is not identical. So while they may be able to physically fit in 2011s and sometimes vice versa, and even function, I wouldn't call them interchangeable. Then there are the BUL 2011s, which usually use their own similar but not really interchangeable mags. |

CZ P09 9MM magazines will lock in and feed 9MM ammo in a full sized M&P 9MM. They will not lock the slide back after the last round (follower thing). CZ P09 .40 S&W magazines will lock in and feed .40 S&W ammo in a full sized M&P .40. And they will lock the slide back after the last round. I have not tried the P07 magazines in a compact M&P but I bet they'd work. The fit of the P09 magazines is a bit loose/sloppy, but they work fine in the M&Ps. |

If you have a Browning BDM 9MM the 16 round CZ75 (full sized) fit in the mag. well of the BDM but will not lock in. Not too hard to modify the slot in the side of the CZ75 magazine to work well in the BDM frame. Just a little work with the right size/shape needle files. BDM mag at the top. CZ75 unaltered magazine in the middle. CZ75 magazine with the mag. catch slot modified to work in the BCM. Oh, with the Plus 2 base that's an 18 round mag. for the BDM 9MM. Attached File |

Confirmed a new use for the Canik 18 round (TP9/TTI/Mete etc) mag today. Locks in and feeds in the Kimber DS9c (Double stack 9mm Wilson Combatish pistol), does extend below the grip a bit. Ran about 200 rounds of ball and JHP without a single failure. The 17 round Canik Prime mag is not long enough. Walther PDP mags will not lock in, the mag catch is just a hair too low. The Kimber factory mag *might* work in the subcompact MC9, will see if I can try that next time I get to the range I sold my old MC9 to. |
