Description
If you own a Smith & Wesson 5900 series pistol, you already know these guns are built to last. This Mec-Gar magazine matches that same reliability standard. It's chambered for 9mm Luger with a standard 15-round capacity, giving you solid firepower without the extended footprint that some higher-capacity mags bring.
The tube is constructed from heat-treated carbon steel and TIG-welded with no seams, which keeps it durable through regular range use and carry. The high-tensile music wire spring maintains consistent tension whether you're loading one round or topping it off completely. The polymer follower and removable polymer floorplate keep things light and smooth without sacrificing functionality.
Mec-Gar doesn't just slap their name on magazines. For over 60 years they've been the OEM supplier for major manufacturers including Smith & Wesson itself, Sig Sauer, Browning, and Walther. That trust translates to magazines that feed reliably through competitive matches, duty use, and everything in between. This one works well whether you're stocking up on spares or replacing a worn original.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Mec-Gar magazine work in my S&W 5900?
Yes. This magazine is purpose-built for the S&W 5900 series and is also compatible with the 910, 915, 659, and 695 models. A few sources indicate broader compatibility with additional 5900-series variants and earlier models like the 59 and 459, but the primary compatibility list covers those five models.
What makes Mec-Gar magazines different from factory magazines?
Mec-Gar has been manufacturing OEM magazines for major brands since 1965, including for Smith & Wesson itself. They use certified carbon steel that's TIG-welded and heat-treated, combined with high-tensile springs and quality polymer components. This construction approach gives these magazines a reputation for reliable feeding and durability across a wide range of ammunition types.
How many rounds does this magazine hold?
This magazine holds 15 rounds of 9mm Luger ammunition. It's considered a standard-capacity magazine for the 5900 series platform and maintains a flush fit with your pistol's grip.
Is this magazine easy to load and unload?
Most users report smooth loading and unloading. The high-impact polymer follower and proper spring tension help with this. Some Mec-Gar models feature an anti-friction coating that makes the loading experience even smoother, though this standard version does the job well.
Can I use this as a replacement for my factory magazine?
Absolutely. This Mec-Gar magazine is designed as a drop-in replacement or spare for the factory magazine that came with your S&W 5900 series pistol. It fits and functions identically to the original, making it ideal for building a spare magazine inventory.
What's the difference between the nickel finish and blued options?
Both finishes provide corrosion resistance. The nickel finish tends to be slightly more reflective and corrosion-resistant in harsh environments, while the blued finish offers a more traditional appearance. Performance and durability are equivalent between the two options.
