Picked up 10 today, 5 for me and 5 for my BIL. I paid $25 for LEO used mags a year ago.
This is a great deal. 77 |

I think these may be contract over run mags. They are not marked Sig or Mec-Gar anywhere on 'em. Only Made in Italy.

I got these from AIM awhile back for $16 and they have them marked 17 now but sold out. They look identical to OEM Sig mags except not marked Sig. Little stiff to start could only load to -1 to 2 rounds of total capacity till I used them a bit. Great mags never hiccuped on me. |

These are not OEM mags.
They are made by a company called "Original Equipment". Kinda sneaky. They might be good but they aren't OEM. "The same manufacturer that originally made the magazines that shipped with the MK25." Wouldn't that be MecGar? |

Called CDNN and they stated the company is not called Original Equipment, but rather it is a company that does make the Sig mags for the military to Sig spec and they just don't say Sig on them. Not sure how true that is but that was directly from CDNN. |

You need to talk to someone who knows what these mags are (like Greg Cote). They are absolutely made by Mec-Gar, they are the same part number and identical in every way except the Sig Sauer and Mec Gar stamp on the side. I have Mec-Gar made, Sig stamped, blued and phosphated mags, along with these unmarked mags and I took them apart and checked out the springs, followers, floorplates, everything is exactly the same. Here's the description from GregcoteLLC: "These are Sig Sauer P226, P226 MK25 9mm 15 round factory style magazines made by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), Mec-Gar. The magazines have the durable phosphate finish with a blued floor plate. These magazines aren't official Sig Sauer factory magazines, (no Sig Sauer logo). However they are the same great quality magazine that is supplied as the OEM magazine with the Sig Sauer P226 MK25 and the European P226 9mm pistols and previously with most other P226 9mm in USA. Most Sig Sauer P226 sold in the USA now come with Checkmate magazines. They aren't stamped with either the Sig Sauer logo or Mec-Gar. The magazines just have made in Italy stamped on the magazine tube. The same great quality Mec-Gar style magazine as the official Sig Sauer factory magazine for a lot less money." |

Yeah, just ignore what I posted. If you want to believe these are MecGar mags, you go right ahead. MecGar mags are noted as such on CDNN. So, are all those other "Original Equipment" mags at the link I posted actually made by MecGar? |

I would surmise that these are contract overrun mags that were not marked Sig or Mec-Gar and therefore not packaged in Mec-Gar or Sig packaging. Mags marked Mec-Gar and packaged in Mec-Gar packaging are advertised differently than the contract overrun mags. I noticed they are advertised differently on Greg Cotes website as well, which would back up my theory. |

They have a bunch of random stuff with that manufacturer name. Looks like it's just a way to inventory some things with their software. |

Okay, I see what may be the MecGar symbol on a couple of 1911 mags. Listing "Original Equipment" as a brand is kind of hokey, but you may be correct. |

you can believe some entry on a website made by a guy who probably makes $9 an hour or use the powers of deduction... just go with what the internet says, its always right...
I don't know of any other Italian magazine manufacturer other than Mecgar. It if says made in Italy, you can pretty much assume its Mecgar. |

Mine came in the mail today. I bought these as range/backup mags for a Taurus PT111G2. They are 15 rounders and fit in the gun well with no movement side to side at all. They strip the first round off easier than the factory mags do and stick out about an inch past the bottom of the grip. Makes a nice finger rest actually. Nice gray finish (oily as hell out of the package) with P226-9mm on the left side of the body, round count holes on the right and Made in Italy on the front. If they hold the slide back on the last round like they supposed to, I will be quite happy and may order a couple more.
The ammo I ordered came Fed Ex and required a signature. Been awhile since I ordered ammo.

Mine came in the mail today. I bought these as range/backup mags for a Taurus PT111G2. They are 15 rounders and fit in the gun well with no movement side to side at all. They strip the first round off easier than the factory mags do and stick out about an inch past the bottom of the grip. Makes a nice finger rest actually. Nice gray finish (oily as hell out of the package) with P226-9mm on the left side of the body, round count holes on the right and Made in Italy on the front. If they hold the slide back on the last round like they supposed to, I will be quite happy and may order a couple more. The ammo I ordered came Fed Ex and required a signature. Been awhile since I ordered ammo. When did you order them? |

Mine came in today, packaged well, generous amount of grease coating in the package. Only markings on the mag is "Made in Italy'" and the round count on the side...
Packaging says Original Equipment, whether they are Sig, MecGars or ACT, OK with me, look to be great quality and as long as they are not Pro Mags, I am good for the price. 77 |

I just looked at some of the newest ones and they have P226-9mm stamped on the side. My ones from the previous order didn't have any marking other than MADE IN ITALY.

The P228 mags just say P228-9mm but no "Made in Italy" mark. My P238 mags are made by "METALFORM" with no markings at all on the mags. Hopefully get to try them all out this weekend. |

I got my mags from CDNN yesterday and I also ordered a few from GregcoteLLC that arrived today. The ones from GregcoteLLC were advertised as Mec-Gar. The mags from CDNN are the same as those from GregcoteLLC. The CDNN mags had a little more to the packaging, but all the markings are identical, Made in Italy and P226-9mm.

I bought some and they have the very same made in Italy font as my 18 round MecGar mags, but just aren't stamped MecGar. Good deal either way.

I posted today to help clear up the speculation on who made the mags. You popped back in this thread and started with the whole these mags aren't Mec-Gars crap again. Prove it or shut up! |

Prove it or shut up! When did I "pop back in" and start that they aren't MecGars? Prove that and while you are at it, how about you prove that they are. I don't really care but you can't seem to let it go. Unbelievable. Maybe you missed this: Okay, I see what may be the MecGar symbol on a couple of 1911 mags.
Listing "Original Equipment" as a brand is kind of hokey, but you may be correct. |

And, I don't still know that they are MecGars and neither do you really. It seems that they might be but neither you nor I know for sure and that statement is not the same as "they aren't MecGars". You really are hung up on being "right" on this, aren't you.
