Description
The Browning Hi-Power has been around long enough that finding mags you can trust matters, and Mec-Gar is the name most Hi-Power owners land on. This one gives you a full 15 rounds of 9mm Luger in a flush-fit design, meaning it sits clean with the bottom of the grip instead of sticking out. It drops right into the Browning Hi-Power and also works in the newer Springfield SA-35, so whether you're running a classic or the modern remake, you're covered.
What makes Mec-Gar worth the money is that they're not some aftermarket knockoff outfit. Mec-Gar has been building magazines since 1965 and has produced over 100 million of them, including OEM mags for names like Beretta, CZ, SIG Sauer, and Colt. That pedigree shows up in the details here.
What Goes Into This Hi-Power Magazine
The body is a heat-treated carbon steel tube for strength, paired with a higher-tensile music wire spring that keeps steady pressure on the stack round after round. A high-impact polymer follower guides each cartridge up the feed ribs cleanly, and the removable steel butt-plate lets you pull the mag apart for cleaning when it's time. The blued finish rounds it out with a traditional look that suits the Hi-Power and adds a layer of corrosion resistance.
Why the 15-Round Count Is a Nice Touch
Here's a neat bit of engineering: the original Hi-Power mag held 13, but Mec-Gar's patented design squeezes in two more rounds without making the magazine any bigger. So you get 15 in the same flush-fit footprint, no extended base plate hanging off the bottom. It's the kind of thing you appreciate at the range when you're loading fewer times, or if you just want the max count your grip will take.
Owners who've run these through their Hi-Powers consistently report smooth feeding and a solid, factory-quality fit, with many saying they hold up as well or better than original mags. Made in Italy, backed by a lifetime warranty, it's an easy call for a spare or a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Mec-Gar magazine fit my Springfield SA-35 as well as a Browning Hi-Power?
Yes. This mag is built to the Browning Hi-Power pattern, and the Springfield SA-35 is a modern take on that same design, so it drops right in. Owners of both platforms use these interchangeably with good results.
Does the 15-round capacity make the magazine stick out past the grip?
No, it stays flush. Mec-Gar uses a patented internal design to fit two extra rounds over the original 13-round count without increasing the magazine's dimensions. You get 15 rounds in the same flush-fit footprint, so nothing hangs below the grip.
Is this a true factory-quality magazine or an aftermarket copy?
Mec-Gar is one of the most trusted magazine makers in the world and produces OEM mags for major manufacturers like Beretta, CZ, and SIG Sauer. Many Hi-Power owners consider these equal to or better than original factory magazines, and they're backed by a lifetime warranty.
Can I take this Hi-Power magazine apart to clean it?
Yes. The steel butt-plate is removable, so you can disassemble the magazine to clean the tube, spring, and follower. A quick wipe-down now and then keeps it feeding smoothly for the long haul.
