I hope Mec Gar releases 15 rounder for G48
Remedy626@reddit
FWIW, I've been real happy with the Shield Arms 15 round magazines for my Glock 48.
Swapping out the magazine release for the metal one was surprisingly straight forward as well.
spook777@reddit
Not sure how long you've had your SA15s but the gist of it is that they came out a few years ago and have had a few iterations of them already. Everyone's experiences have been hit or miss and there isn't a consistency (ie Gen1 SA15 mags were crap, and Gen2 fixed all the problems). Mine have been both hit and miss...both my 43x and 43xMOS ran them no problem however my 1st gen Glock48 with the silver slide hated both Gens of them. Conversely the G48 is working fine with PSA Dagger mags, but even those people have complained about.
The point PageVanDamme is making is that MecGar is reliable AF so he would like mags for the Glock48 that don't that there isn't a 50%/50% chance of them working.

Just bought some baseplates and other stuff from gregcote. Legit seller and fast shipping
jcour@reddit
Greg Cote to magazines is what Costco is to everything else.
ComfortableActuator@reddit
especially for CZ75 stuff.
Squeeze_Toy2004@reddit
Seconded, great folks and I've been buying from them for years.
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
It should be noted this SKU and the G17 mag are the same thing, this just has a spacer sleeve.
Before anyone goes on about "muh OEM", I get it. Even PMAGs are inferior to the OEM Glock mag. MecGar, however, has been making pistol mags for longer than Glock has been a company, and they are the OEM for an absolute boatload of pistol companies and their mags. I have had CZ, Arex, Steyr, Sig, and Beretta handguns with perfectly reliable MecGar magazines. Furthermore they made this in conjunction with Staccato for their Platypus type gun which was announced at SHOT, so I would hope they properly researched the logistics.
I should also state that the mag indexing point is radiused and not cut, which means it won't wear on OEM mag catches per MecGar. I bought a few of these to test out.
TatakUno@reddit
You’re saying this will work on a glock 17?
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
This has a spacer on the bottom which would prevent fit in a G17. The G17 mag and this one are otherwise the same. The UPC for the G17 one is 765595900004
Bigred2989-@reddit
They don't include the G17 spacer like the P365 magazines do?
jcour@reddit
This is the way to go for an extra buck.
TatakUno@reddit
Ok got it. Thanks
morbidbattlecry@reddit
This was wrote by a MecGar rep.
mec-gar@reddit
Negative on that. However, this message was written by a Mec-Gar rep.
fvbj999@reddit
Can you just remove the spacer and use it in a g17?
mec-gar@reddit
The shroud and floorplate on the 19 is one and the same, not two separate parts. We have a flush fit 19 in the works but no release date at this time.
dirtyt4r@reddit
looks like spacer is part of the baseplate
MotivatedSolid@reddit
Mecgar truly is goated. Better than OEM mags for my CZ 75.
PageVanDamme@reddit
Mec-Gar to Handgun Magazine is what TSMC is to high-end semiconductors.
chuckisduck@reddit
I guess promag would be TEMU
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
Pretty good analogy actually
Geneaux@reddit
Facts. Both mags for my Sig M17/P320 and IWI Jericho II are MecGar and they work flawlessly.
Straight-Schedule314@reddit
There’s nothing wrong with Glock oem proven mags. What’s the reason for these?
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
See above, they were made for the new Staccato to ensure the best possible function for them. MecGar also makes a lot of mags and probably figured if they made a reliable mag that slightly undercuts Glock it'll make them money
BenDover42@reddit
I get why Mecgar did that at their request it seems like and they also can have a market for themselves too. But if staccato had to make a new mag for its Glock mag 2011 to be “more reliable” it sounds like you’re kinda defeating the purpose of making it to take Glock mags? Maybe I’m off on that though.
mec-gar@reddit
We created the magazine for the aftermarket consumers, then Staccato showed interest in it. It wasn't the other way around.
jcour@reddit
Thanks for sharing this! I always wondered why no 3rd party makes steel Glock magazines, incl Glock themselves, cause the potential for improvement seemed obvious. Surprised that after removing all that plastic thickness and Glock’s inner steel sleeve it’s only added one extra round.
adoringroughddydom@reddit
do these have date stamps?
BenDover42@reddit
Thanks for the reply and clearing that up. I figured it was a win-win for you guys either way it happened because you gain a massive market for mags. Should have known it was longer in the making than this particular pistol releasing.
Just thought it was a weird decision by Staccato to design a gun as “Glock mag” and then say it would work better with a magazine no one had at launch when there are probably millions of OEM Glock mags out there.
I’ll be picking some of these mags up for my Glock and already have 10 for my 226s. Love your products and thanks again for the response.
Subverto_@reddit
Agreed. Honest Outlaw reviewed the new Glock mag Stacatto and had a bunch of failures with OEM Glock mags. If it's only reliable with MecGar Glock mags then that's pretty fucking stupid. Should have just used 2011 mags at that point.
Quake_Guy@reddit
Or P320 mags, best thing about that platform is the mags, esp the 21 rounders.
FinickyPenance@reddit
I've had no failures on mine with any sort of mag, FWIW - these Mec-Gars, OEM G17 mags, G17 mags with +6 Henning baseplates, and 33-round Glock OEM sticks.
DerKrieger105@reddit
I mean Stacatto and pretty fucking stupid usually go hand in hand
SniffyBT@reddit
Says flush fit, 18 rds. I wasn't really interested until I saw that. Now I may have to try one.
Decent-Reach-9831@reddit

This will stick out a 3/4 inch on a g19, but they are working on a flushfit g19 mag as well
Decent-Reach-9831@reddit
I'm not sure it will actually be flushfit, with the plastic piece one the bottom.
MSpeedAddict@reddit
Interesting that they mention upgrading the floor plate in the product description. I wonder if these take normal Glock aftermarket extensions?
I’m not interested in being a magazine beta tester but definitely interested after these are proven. Mecgar makes good stuff.
mec-gar@reddit
They do not. We have floorplates in the works but no estimates of when they will be available. We assume aftermarket floorplate companies will be coming out with ones soon.
MSpeedAddict@reddit
Thanks!!
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
Don't quote me on this but MecGar somewhere on reddit stated they'd be making extensions for them later on down the road. They don't take regular Glock ones. Given the fact they're being made for Staccatos it makes sense to make 140mm and other such extensions.

Back in stock 23.07 ea for 3 mags tax/shipping
Hanshi-Judan@reddit
Buy a Stacatto because it takes Glock magazines for convenience and then have to buy MecGar's because the Glock OEMs don't work in the Stacatto. This has to be one of the stupidest ideas ever!
the-flying-lunch-box@reddit
OEM's work in the Staccato fine. Numerous videos showing they work.
afuckingwheel@reddit
Who says OEM mags don't work?
cdillon42@reddit
why tho?
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
These were made for the new Staccato that takes Glock mags. My guess is it'll like these better than polymer ones even if it'll take both.
mec-gar@reddit
We made the magazines for the aftermarket customers first, then Staccato showed interest in the magazine. The magazine is about 5 years in the making.
renegadeGDI@reddit
I've had issues running long hollow points in polymer glock mags... I bet this would solve that.
TheStig500@reddit
You'd probably want to use a metal mag release for these, right?
mec-gar@reddit
We designed the magazine so the original magazine catch doesn't need to be replaced. Our testing has shown no additional wear on the mag catch than an OEM Glock magazine.
IntrospectiveApe@reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Glocks/comments/1ibgllo/comment/m9ub06u/
They didn't cut out the mag catch, they stamped it.
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
MecGar specifically addressed this. No, you don't. The mag catch isn't a cut, it's a radius pressed into the metal.
Squeeze_Toy2004@reddit
Per OPs comment, the mag release holes on these are properly radiused, unlike the Shield Arms mags, so these shouldn't chew up plastic mag releases like the SA mags do.
MagicManHoncho@reddit
I was going to say that. The OEM mag release will probably get chewed up after a handful of uses that mags will drop after firing or just easily fall out. It's just like using a shield mag for a 43x/48 without their steel mag release
Chaff5@reddit
I thought this would be a flush fit mag with more rounds like how the G43 and shield mags.
mec-gar@reddit
The Glock 17 magazine is flush fitting and holds an extra round compared to the factory magazine. We have a Glock 19 magazine in the works.
reetardgenius@reddit
OOS you animals
Had it in my cart but the baby needed a bottle so I missed it
Hawias@reddit
Back in stock.
reetardgenius@reddit
Damn it already shipped
reetardgenius@reddit
Thanks bro. Bought a couple
Quake_Guy@reddit
For those of us that run high round counts with cans, esp PCCs, this will be great for ease of cleaning the magazines. Those damn Glock base plates, most I can take apart somewhat easily, but some are the biggest mofos out there.
evopanda@reddit
This was released a few weeks ago and the creator gave away a bunch of them on the Glock subreddit. I got one and I can say it’s the best tool so far to take apart Glock magazines. https://magcamwizard.com/
No-Caregiver220@reddit (OP)
I do think these mags will be competition shooter darlings as well.
adoringroughddydom@reddit
Are these date stamped?

Bye bye mag catch.
There's a reason you had to replace the catch with a metal one to use those Shield Arms mags in the 43x.
6920@reddit
I can't place an order, and it says sold out. might be OOS now.
IntrospectiveApe@reddit
Thank you! I've been waiting for these, and I would have waited a bit longer but I saw the mag sleeve is included in these.
MecGar makes fantastic mags.
