Description
The Mec-Gar 18-round magazine for Taurus PT92 and PT99 pistols gives you genuine capacity gains without the bulk. This isn't just a standard upgrade—it holds three more rounds than factory magazines while still sitting flush with your grip.
What Sets This Mec-Gar Apart from Factory Magazines
If you've shot a PT92 with the factory magazines, you know they can be hit or miss. The Mec-Gar is built with a heat-treated carbon steel tube and high-tensile music wire spring that deliver consistent reliability. The anti-friction coating makes loading noticeably easier and reduces corrosion, a real advantage if you carry or store this magazine for extended periods. The high-impact polymer follower and floor plate are engineered to handle repeated loading cycles without the premature wear you might see with lesser magazines.
Real-World Performance Details
Users consistently report that these feed and function better than what comes in the box with a new PT92. The smooth feeding, easy loading, and secure fit are what keep people coming back to order more. The magazine maintains its flush-fit profile even at full capacity—there's no magazine extension poking out of the grip unless you want that extra capacity pad. The interlinked internal components work together to ensure the spring maintains proper tension and the follower moves freely throughout the magazine's life.
Built to Last
Mec-Gar has been manufacturing magazines since 1965, supplying major firearm companies worldwide. This magazine represents that same manufacturing discipline applied to the PT92 platform. It's made in Italy using their proven processes, so you're getting the same quality standard that major firearms manufacturers rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 18-round magazine fit my Taurus PT92 or PT99?
Yes. The MGPT9218AFC is designed specifically for both PT92 and PT99 models. It maintains a flush-fit profile with the grip while delivering 18 rounds of capacity. The magazine works reliably in both standard and adjustable-sight variants of these pistols.
How does loading feel compared to factory Taurus magazines?
The anti-friction coating makes the Mec-Gar noticeably smoother to load. Many users report that these magazines are easier to press the last rounds into compared to factory magazines, which can bind up on their followers. The high-tensile spring maintains consistent spring pressure even after repeated use.
Is the anti-friction coating just for looks?
No. The anti-friction coating serves a practical purpose beyond appearance. It reduces corrosion resistance and allows rounds to seat more smoothly into the magazine without the friction that can slow down loading or cause the rounds to bind. It also helps protect the steel tube from rust and oxidation.
Can this magazine work with other Taurus models?
The MGPT9218AFC is engineered for PT92 and PT99 models. While some Taurus models share magazine compatibility, this particular magazine is optimized for the PT92/PT99 platform. Check your pistol's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're uncertain about compatibility with other Taurus models.
