Description
This steel magazine from Mec-Gar is built to handle real-world shooting conditions without unnecessary fuss. The tube is heat-treated carbon steel with a black anti-friction coating that makes inserting and removing the magazine from your pistol noticeably easier compared to polymer options. Rounds load and feed with minimal friction, which reduces the chance of malfunctions when you need the gun to work.
Mec-Gar's All-Steel Construction
You get solid all-metal construction here, which means you won't need to replace your Glock's magazine catch like you might with some other aftermarket steel magazines. The high-visibility green follower lets you quickly see at a glance whether the magazine is loaded or empty, and the floorplate is made from high-impact polymer so it can take a beating during reload drills or general handling. The magazine also features witness holes for easier round counting.
Spring and Feeding Design
Inside the tube sits a high-tensile music wire spring that keeps consistent tension through repeated use, and the precision-formed feeding ribs guide each round smoothly from bottom to top. This engineering means rounds move through the magazine without jamming or hesitation, whether you're loading slowly at the range or stripping rounds quickly in a tactical scenario. The result is reliable feeding in any practical situation you'd encounter.
Durable Materials Built to Last
Mec-Gar has been manufacturing magazines since 1965, supplying militaries and law enforcement worldwide. That experience shows in the quality of materials and workmanship on this 10-round magazine. The anti-friction coating protects against rust and corrosion while keeping the magazine functioning smoothly even when exposed to varied environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 10-round Mec-Gar magazine work with my factory Glock magazine catch?
Yes, it works with the standard Glock 17 magazine catch without any modifications. Unlike some steel aftermarket magazines, you don't need to replace your magazine catch to use this one.
What does the anti-friction coating actually do?
The coating reduces friction when loading and removing the magazine from your pistol, making magazine changes smoother and faster. It also helps rounds feed more reliably by reducing binding inside the tube, and it provides corrosion resistance to keep the magazine performing over time.
Can I use standard Glock replacement floorplates on this magazine?
No, standard Glock floorplates are not compatible with this Mec-Gar magazine. You'll need to use the Mec-Gar floorplate that comes with it. The magazine also is not compatible with the Glock 19X pistol.
Is this magazine made in the USA?
No, all Mec-Gar magazines are manufactured in Italy using advanced manufacturing technologies. Mec-Gar has over 50 years of experience making magazines for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
