Description
If you've ever wished your P226 carried more rounds without hauling around a brick, this Mec-Gar 20-rounder does the job. Built in Italy using proven manufacturing techniques, it packs five more rounds than your standard factory magazine while staying relatively compact. The extended capacity works well for training, competition, or any setup where more rounds on board makes sense.
Engineering for Real-World Use
The magazine starts with a heat-treated carbon steel tube that's been through the mill and come out stronger. Inside, you get a high-impact polymer follower and high-tensile music wire spring that work together to feed rounds smoothly. The anti-friction coating makes loading easier and protects against corrosion, so your magazine won't degrade sitting in a bag or case. All the internal components are interlinked, which keeps everything moving in sync when things get busy.
Drop Protection System That Actually Works
The polymer DPS baseplate is the standout feature here. It's designed to absorb impact when you drop the magazine on hard surfaces, whether during a fast reload at the range or in a training scenario. The baseplate also sits a little better than some extended options, and it's been angled to feed into competition magazine boxes more easily if that matters to your shooting.
The Right Balance of Capacity and Control
This isn't a flush-fit magazine, but it's only about 5/8 inch longer than standard options, so it's not unruly in your hand. You get numbered witness holes down the side to do a quick visual round count without breaking your grip. The extended capacity gives you the ammunition supply of larger double-stack pistols while staying true to the P226 platform you know and trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 20-round magazine fit other Sig models like the P228 or P229?
This magazine is designed specifically for the Sig P226 in 9mm. While some P226 magazines can physically fit in P228 or P229 pistols, they may protrude from the grip and feeding may be inconsistent. For best results and reliability, use magazines designed for your specific model.
How does the drop protection system baseplate differ from standard Mec-Gar options?
The DPS polymer baseplate is engineered to absorb impact and reduce shock when the magazine is dropped on hard surfaces. It also has an angled design that fits competition magazine boxes more easily than some older extended floorplates. The baseplate is removable if you ever need to service the magazine.
Is the Mec-Gar 20-rounder as reliable as factory Sig magazines?
Yes. Mec-Gar has manufactured magazines for Sig Sauer for years, and their quality is comparable to or better than factory options. Users report reliable feeding and solid construction right out of the box with no break-in period needed.
Does this magazine extend noticeably below the grip?
The magazine extends about 5/8 inch below a standard flush-fit option, which is modest for a 20-round capacity. It's not so long that it becomes unwieldy, but it's noticeable. Some people use these as backup mags while keeping 18-round flush-fit options in their carry setup.
