Anyone have any experience with a Mec-Gar 15 round magazine that is flush fit for the 228?
Can the floor plates be used from a 229 magazine "sport", on a 228 magazine? |

Who is selling these? I might be interested in giving one a try. I used 16rd Mecgar hi-cap mags in my Walther P99 with excellent success FWIW.

I read somewhere that you can install a new (10 round) follower in the 13 round mag. That'll make it a 15 round magazine. 9mm of course.
I prefer to use straight factory mags. No worries. |

I have a few of the 15 rd mec-gars and they work great. Haven't had a single problem with them, other than that they are difficult to find.

I have never heard a complaint about a mec-gar mag, I use the in my Walther P99 and my Berettas, good mags.

Mecgar OEMs the SiG mags so they are the same thing.

...this is true, I do it in all my Sig mags. It will also increase a 226 mag to 17. Be careful ordering the followers from Sig though, they rape you on shipping. Try to get together on a group buy! |

Not to hijack this thread, but since you guys are on the subject..... I'm looking to trade a preban Glock 19 mag for one of the 228 15rd MecGars. If anyone has one, feel free to email me or post. Here's the link....

I was checking on one of my favorite websites that sells gun gear and found they list a 15 round magazine for P226 and P228. My question is will a P226 magazine fit flush in the P228?

no, it will not. A 226 mag will stick out the bottom ~ 1/2"

I just purchased 2 ProMag 13 round magazines for my P228. I have not shot with them yet, but I was surprised when I loaded the first mag it held 15 rounds of 9mm. I thought I got the wrong mag, I loaded the second and found it too held 15 rounds of 9mm. They both fit the Sig perfectly and manually feed without a problem. I'll know more tomorrow after I get a chance to shoot with thme.

Well the ProMag magazines worked fine. No problems, no jams or misfeeds. Both functioned flawlessly loaded with 15 rounds. I chambered one round, dropped the magazine and topped it off. Reinserted the mag and proceeded to fire all 16 rounds. The magazine was never an issue. The more I shoot this pistol the more I like it.
