First Look: Mec-Gar Glock 17 & 19 Magazines

Mec-Gar has finally started making Glock-pattern magazines, starting with mags for the G17 and G19.

Mec-Gar is such a prolific purveyor of magazines that you probably own some even if you don’t know it. Not only is the 60-year-old Italian company the leader in aftermarket magazine manufacturing, but it makes OEM mags for tons of major firearm companies as well. One pattern of mag that’s been conspicuously missing from Mec-Gar’s catalog has always been Glock, but that’s just changed.

Mec-Gar G17

Mec-Gar recently introduced two Glock-compatible magazines, one for the G17 and one for the G19. However, both models hold 18 rounds. The G17 version sits flush with the grip while the G19 version extends down and has a baseplate that matches the grip, essentially giving the feel of a G17 grip when inserted. Mec-Gar’s Glock mags manage to squeeze one more round in compared to factory Glock 17 magazines because Mec-Gar omits the plastic shroud. Factory Glock mag bodies feature a plastic shroud wrapped around a steel liner, so Mec-Gar was able to slightly increase the internal volume by using just steel instead. The springs are high-tensile music wire, the follower is bright green and made of high-impact polymer and the bodies are made of heat-treated carbon steel wearing an anti-friction coating.

As a bonus, unlike some other all-steel aftermarket Glock mags, Mec-Gar’s do not require you to replace your magazine catch. The company says that the factory polymer catch will have no problem interfacing with its steel mags. However, Mec-Gar does note that its Glock mags are not compatible with standard Glock-pattern floorplates, nor are they compatible with the Glock 19X.

MSRP for both the G17 and G19 versions is $29.
