Mec-Gar Ruger P85 9mm 17-Round Nickel Magazine

Description

The Mec-Gar MGRP8517N brings something genuinely useful to your Ruger P-series collection: two extra rounds of 9mm capacity while maintaining the same profile as factory magazines. Most P85 shooters know the original 15-round mags, but if you want more ammunition on board without the magazine protruding from the grip, this is your answer.

Mec-Gar has been making magazines since 1965, and that experience shows in every detail. The nickel-plated carbon steel tube is heat-treated for durability, so it stands up to years of range time without deformation. The high-impact polymer follower keeps rounds feeding smoothly, and the music wire spring maintains consistent pressure whether you're running 115-grain practice loads or 124-grain defensive rounds. The metal floorplate sits flush with your grip, so drawing and holstering stays clean and snag-free.

Flush-Fit Design with Extra Capacity

When Mec-Gar designed this mag, they used a patented design that squeezes in two additional rounds without making the magazine longer. That means you get 17 rounds but your P85 still looks and handles like it was built for 15. Factory magazines hold 15, so this gives you tangible more firepower without the bulk.

Built to Military and Law Enforcement Standards

Mec-Gar doesn't make magazines as a side business. Brands like Sig Sauer, Browning, Remington, and Walther rely on Mec-Gar to build their OEM magazines. That's not marketing talk, that's production reality. The magazines they make under their own name use the same tooling, the same materials, and the same quality control. This magazine will outlast most of the pistols it gets installed in.
