Description

The Mec-Gar Glock 17 magazine gives you 18 rounds of 9mm in a body that sits flush with the bottom of your grip, so you pick up an extra round over the factory 17-rounder without any added bulk or a longer profile. It's built around a heat-treated carbon steel tube finished with Mec-Gar's anti-friction coating, which is the same trick that makes topping off by hand feel noticeably easier and helps the mag shrug off wear over years of range trips. Mec-Gar has been cranking out magazines in Italy since 1965 and supplies plenty of the big-name firearm makers, so the fit-and-finish here is a step above what a lot of folks expect from an aftermarket mag.

What Sets This Mec-Gar G17 Mag Apart

Inside you get a high-tensile music wire spring paired with a bright green high-impact polymer follower. The green follower is easy to spot when you're checking an empty mag or troubleshooting, and the spring keeps rounds stacking and feeding with real consistency whether you're running drills or keeping this one loaded as a backup. The high-impact polymer floorplate pops off for cleaning and takes a beating during fast reloads and mag drops.

Fitment Notes for the Mec-Gar Glock 17 Magazine

A nice bonus is that you do not need to swap your factory magazine catch to run this one, which is a common headache with other steel Glock mags. It drops right into Gen 3, 4, and 5 G17 frames and works with virtually any pistol that accepts a flush-fit 18-round G17 mag. Worth knowing before you buy: this is the same magazine that ships from the factory in the Staccato HD P4 and P4.5. A couple of fitment exceptions to keep in mind are the Glock 19X and the Stealth Arms Platypus, and standard Glock replacement floorplates won't swap onto this one since the baseplate is proprietary.

For anyone who wants a tough, reliable spare or a range mag that loads easier than the factory unit, this Mec-Gar earns its spot in the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Mec-Gar Glock 17 magazine work in my Gen 5 or older G17?

Yes, this magazine drops into Gen 3, 4, and 5 Glock 17 frames and works in most pistols that accept a flush-fit 18-round G17 magazine. You do not need to replace your factory magazine catch to run it, which is a common requirement with some other steel Glock mags. Note that it is not compatible with the Glock 19X or the Stealth Arms Platypus.

How does 18 rounds fit in a flush-fit magazine when the factory mag holds 17?

Mec-Gar engineered the internals to pick up one extra round over the standard Glock 17 magazine while keeping the same flush-fit length. That means it sits even with the bottom of your grip and adds no extra bulk. You get 18+1 capacity without a magazine that hangs below the frame.

Is this the same magazine that comes with the Staccato HD?

Yes, this Mec-Gar is the factory-original magazine for the Staccato HD P4 and P4.5 pistols. The version sold here carries the Mec-Gar logo on the baseplate rather than the Staccato star. It functions identically in either platform.

Can I put a different floorplate or base pad on this Mec-Gar mag?

The floorplate does remove for cleaning and disassembly, but standard Glock replacement floorplates will not fit this magazine because the baseplate is proprietary to Mec-Gar. If you want to add an extension, check that it is specifically listed as compatible with this mag before buying. For most users the included high-impact polymer floorplate holds up just fine.
