On the other hand, used mags should come down pretty hard. CDNN presently advertises used 226 mags for $9.99 for LEOs. Now, even with the excise tax added in, that's going to be plenty cheap.
Plus, once Mec-Gar gets fired up . . . $25 brand-new shouldn't be hard to find. And Mec-Gar is the present manufacturer of mags for SIG-Sauer . . . I've certainly nothing against them. |

MecGar has a no compete agreement with sig.
 I hate how expensive the damn mags are, you know its nowhere near that much to make them. |

Just buy LE trade ins. They will be cheap enough, and used rarely. Rebuilding an old mag is cheaper than buying a new one. And, if you buy "postban" followers from Sig and use them in normal mags, you get a +2 capacity (9mm).

That's a shame - I have a pair of MecGar 17 round Sig 226 mags that work great. |

In '91 I paid $28 for P226 9mm factory mags and $32 for 20 round 9mm Sig factory mags. They were never a cheap commodity.

DHS and the USCG are in large part transitioning to the P229 .40 pistol - soon - expect to possibly see a shortage - at least temporarily - of P229 mags on the market

CDNN $50 for new SIG 226 mag. $60 for a 228.
I am sure they are an outstanding company but it sounds like a little too much, I guess the market forces will take effect after today |

Now I don't want to pick a fight with mississippi but . . .
just checked out the CDNN web-site. Prices: 228 -- Sig "new" @ $29 Factory Demo @$19 "Used" Mec-Gar $10 Prices: 226 -- Sig "new" @ $30 Factory Demo @$19 All mags are "hi-cap" I placed an order around noon today and was able to order two "new" Mec-Gar 228 mags at $13 each. No longer listed on the web-site -- looks like they sold out. Ordered a total of eight mags for my M-92 and P-228. I've ordered "demo" mags from CDNN in the past and was VERY pleased with the mags -- function was perfect and "finish" was around 90-95%. CDNN will gladly refund/replace anyting you order from them if your not happy with your purchase. Received an e-mail later today and it said my order will be shipped on Tuesday. Will post results when they arrive. I'd say "give them a try ! ! ! " |

Banker Billy,
New sig mags were listed on CDNN site as I mentioned above. You are correct about the demo mags. Thank you for the info. I will try one of the demos. Question, When CDNN refers to "factory" are they always referring to name brand? In this case SIGARMS. I also received an email from SIGARMS advertising 13 and 15 rd mags at $52. Thank you and everyone else who has responded to my original question. |

Hello missisippi . .
From my past experience with CDNN a "factory" mag will be an "original equipment mag" -- one that would come with a new pistol -- not a "ProMag" or something like that. Ya know -- a "new" factory Sig mag (LE marked) for a P-228 at only $29 is going to be a hard price to beat ! ! Where they any cheaper before the ban ? ? ? Ordered from CDNN yesterday (Monday) and should have them by the end of the week. Will post my results when they arrive. |

You are correct. That is the best price I have ever seen. Let me know when you receive them. You have definitely gotten me interested in world of demo mags. Thanks again |

I bought the same demo mags a few months ago for $35. They are in perfect shape. I will buy more from CDDN. I may try some of those 17rnd mags in another posting.

Hey Quinn . . .
If that "other post" is Coles Ditrib he's a good guy ! ! See him at the local toy show and always fair and honest in his dealings. He's one of the first people I "look up" at the local shows. |

They didn't used to (make SIG's mags), back in '93.
By the way, I'm pleased to see that Cope's has Mec-Gar extra-caps for $21.99, new. This is actually less than I predicted last month. Yay Cope's!
