Description
The Browning Hi-Power became iconic for a reason, and this Mec-Gar magazine lets you carry more firepower without changing how your gun handles. The trick is in the engineering. By redesigning the follower to be shallower than the factory version, Mec-Gar was able to fit two additional rounds into the same tube length while keeping everything flush with the grip. You get the capacity you want without the extra bulk.
Heat-Treated Steel Construction for Real Durability
This magazine features a carbon steel tube that's been heat-treated for strength, so it won't dent or deform from regular carry and use. The nickel finish adds corrosion resistance and that polished look, while the high-tensile music wire spring keeps tension consistent through thousands of loading cycles. The polymer follower guides rounds smoothly without the hang-ups you sometimes see with cheaper aftermarket options.
Why Mec-Gar Magazines Matter
Mec-Gar manufactures original equipment magazines for Browning, Sig Sauer, Beretta, and other major brands. That's not marketing talk—it means these magazines have to meet the same standards as factory magazines because they literally are factory magazines for many brands. This nickel-plated version is compatible with both the Browning Hi-Power and the Springfield SA-35, so if you've got either platform, you're covered.
A Practical Upgrade That Just Works
The metal floorplate sits flush with the pistol grip, maintaining the clean profile the Hi-Power is known for. You load fifteen rounds but your gun doesn't look like it's packed with extras. Field testing shows reliable feeding across various ammunition types, making this a solid choice whether you're at the range or using the Hi-Power for duty or personal defense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 15-round magazine work with my Springfield SA-35?
Yes. This magazine is designed for both the Browning Hi-Power and Springfield SA-35, and they're fully compatible. Many shooters use these Mec-Gar magazines as their go-to option for the SA-35 since they're often more affordable than Springfield-branded magazines while maintaining the same quality.
How does Mec-Gar fit 15 rounds in the same size as factory 13-round magazines?
The magazine uses a patent-protected follower design that's shallower than the factory follower, which creates the extra space needed for two more rounds. The tube length stays the same, so it maintains the flush-fit profile you get with factory magazines.
Is this magazine reliable for duty or defensive use?
Mec-Gar manufactures original equipment magazines for major firearms brands and meets or exceeds military specifications. Real-world testing shows reliable feeding with various ammunition types. That said, like any magazine, you should test it thoroughly with your specific firearm and preferred ammunition before relying on it for critical use.
What's the difference between the nickel and blued versions?
Both versions offer the same internal quality and performance. The nickel finish provides a polished appearance and slightly better corrosion resistance, while the blued version has a traditional look. Pick whichever finish matches your preferences or your gun's existing finish.
