Description
The Mec-Gar MGRP8517B brings genuine capacity upgrade to your Ruger P-series pistol without the magazine sticking out of the grip. You get 17 rounds of 9mm instead of the standard 15, all while keeping that clean, flush profile that makes sense for duty or carry work. That's possible because of a patented design that lets you squeeze two extra rounds into the same footprint most shooters expect.
Built Right From the Start
Mec-Gar manufactures these magazines in Italy using certified carbon steel that's heat-treated for real strength. The tube won't dent or warp under regular use, and the blued finish looks solid without looking fussy. Spring tension comes from higher-tensile music wire that keeps feeding reliable through hundreds of cycles. The polymer follower sits between rounds cleanly, and the removable steel butt-plate gives you something substantial when you're handling the magazine or pressing rounds down. Nothing about this feels cheap or rushed.
Why P-Series Owners Choose This
Mec-Gar isn't some aftermarket brand trying to undercut genuine magazines. The company has built factory magazines for Beretta, Browning, CZ, Kimber, Walther, and plenty of other major manufacturers since 1965. They literally make the OEM magazines for some of these pistols, so their standard magazine for Ruger P-series guns is built to that same level of control and precision. Ruger P85, P89, P93, P94, and P95 owners report this magazine runs without the issues that sometimes plague cheaper alternatives.
Easy to Live With
Loading 17 rounds takes a bit of force, which is what you want from a strong spring. The magazine seats firmly in the mag well with no rattle or play. Users report the flush-fit profile sits perfectly with a P-series pistol, so there's no weird gap at the bottom of the grip or printing in a holster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 17-round magazine fit my Ruger P95?
Yes. This magazine is designed to work with Ruger P85, P89, P93, P94, and P95 pistols. It fits flush with the grip, so there's no extended bottom sticking out of the mag well.
How is the Mec-Gar magazine different from factory Ruger magazines?
Mec-Gar manufactures OEM magazines for major firearm brands and uses the same quality standards here. The heat-treated carbon steel construction and higher-tensile spring are designed to be at least as durable as factory mags, and this capacity option gives you two extra rounds while staying flush-fit.
Is this magazine difficult to load?
The high-tensile spring is stout, so loading all 17 rounds takes solid pressure. Many users find a magazine loader tool helpful for full loads, but it's not required. The spring will break in slightly with use and lighten loading pressure over time.
What does flush-fit mean for a P-series magazine?
Flush-fit means the magazine sits completely inside the magazine well with no gap or extension past the bottom of the grip. This Mec-Gar magazine accomplishes that while holding 17 rounds, using a patented design that adds capacity without changing the magazine's footprint.
