Mecgar is OEM for a lot of pistol mags.

Yep OEM Sig, beretta, cz, iwi, tanfolglio, s&W, Walther, Colt, FN, and others.

As far as I'm aware with Beretta, the mecgar mags are the best choice, even moreso than the OEM ones. Supposedly lagging Langdon tactical only endorses mecgar mags in their 92s. My 92xi gara competition model came from Beretta themselves with 22round mecgar mags so as far as I'm concerned if even the manufacturer admits the mecgar mags are better in their $1300 race gun, that says something.

Not with the 10 rounders. The ten round factory mags can be robbed of the internals to rebuild a high cap factory mag. That's why I prefer those. I kept 15 rounders going for a decade by scavenging fresh factory 10 round mags during the AWB. Old habits die hard I guess.

The 10 round "MecGar" branded mags have an extended plastic bottom that takes up half the mag body length on some, with a short spring or on some of their others have a ridge about half way down the mag body with functional spring above the ridge and unfunctional spring below.

Is it? Because my Beretta branded mags don't look the same as my mecgar branded

It was when I bought a monster pile of them.

They make many different styles. The good mags that I want, that are Beretta branded, are made by MecGar, and so are the crappy ones that I don't want that are branded MecGar.

Checmate or Checkmate (not sure which), their USGI M92 Beretta magazines have a reputation for being crap.

Price per?

Sorry, I'm not parting out. It's too much of a PITA to send them all over the state to various people. I already got burned once doing that. I'll sell all of them together for $300, cash only in-person. Send me a PM if you are interested so we don't clog up the thread, thanks.

Could you use some P99 mags? I have 3 15 rounders and 3 16 rounders I could trade you.

Sorry, I have no use for them, thanks though.

I'm curious how your staccato mags were packaged. When I bought 3 21 round mags directly from them, they arrived without individual packaging in a single plain white bubble wrap envelope with no order receipt. Seemed like a "you didn't get these from us" kind of thing and I fully support it.

Well my three 16rd Staccato CS mags arrived. And arrived just as you described- in a nondescript thin bubble wrap envelope, with cheap thin bubble wrap sleeves around them. No receipt, no paperwork, no stickers. $70 dollar each, so over $200 for just these 3 Staccato mags, and zero packaging. LOL what the heck ;-)

Well didnt think I would need to post anything to this old thread again! ;-(. I have been searching for weeks for the 15 round Staccato CS mags, as they are out of stock everywhere. Last night i got an alert that they had one in stock at https://gritrsports.com/, a gun store in Texas. I was like SWEET, and placed the order.

Received the attached email this am, cancelling my order, stating they could not ship to Oregon. You would think a gun store in Texas would want to ship standard capacity mags anywhere they could, and also not lose a $100 order. I replied to the email, see attached, and am hoping that they re-review and approved, but wont hold my breath. Ironically, just 2 days ago I placed an order for 3 16 round Staccato CS mags, directly from Staccato themselves, and they shipped no problem yesterday. I would have bought the 15 rounders from them instead, but they were out of stock and have been for a long time.

Here we go again . . .

I suspect that a decent amount of shops are going to spin this policy back up as 114 goes back into limbo due to the pending judgement. If the judge rules while a package for them is in flight and they get caught it could be a huge legal headache for them. We are not out of the woods yet.

Well I have GOOD NEWS!! I had emailed the company back with the information about how there were currently no mag restrictions in Oregon, and wasnt expecting a response.

LO AND BEHOLD, I received a response this am, that they had reviewed, realized they were incorrect, apologized, and shipped the magazine! I guess there is a little hope in humanity after all ;-)

 

[spookshack]

Maybe I'll place an order for some rando mag I might need in the future and see how it goes.

Maybe I'll place an order for some rando mag I might need in the future and see wow it goes.

That's what I did. I'm gonna order a few more happy sticks if I'm still able to at the end of the month. Wish I had more money lol.

I have contacted a few of the smaller online sellers too, with mixed results. I am keeping a close eye on this, but I have not yet seen a pressing need to restart this thread to keep tabs on a new list (I lost edit privileges on the OP a while ago). If anyone disagrees I could be persuaded otherwise.

Yeah I think at this point it isn't so much keeping a list, as that has gotten complex, vs just keeping a historical log of what is occurring during this time. It could actually become legally relevant as the case works it way through the courts IMO. And in this case i was just amazed I got a positive outcome, as up until now I havent on any of the companies I responded to . . .
