Description
The Mec-Gar Beretta 96FS magazine gives you a practical capacity boost without sacrificing concealability. You get 13 rounds of .40 S&W in a flush-fitting design that sits level with your grip, whereas factory mags max out at 11 rounds. The anti-friction coating on the heat-treated carbon steel tube makes loading faster and easier, while protecting against rust and wear from regular use.
Internally, this mag uses a high-impact polymer follower paired with a high-tensile music wire spring that feeds rounds reliably through hundreds of rounds. The polymer baseplate is designed to sit flush and stay put during draws and reloads. Witness holes numbered along the side let you quickly count your remaining rounds at a glance.
Mec-Gar has been making Beretta's factory magazines for decades and supplies OEM mags to militaries and law enforcement worldwide. These aftermarket versions use the same manufacturing standards and quality materials, meaning you're getting factory-level reliability at a more accessible price point. Range shooters, trainers, and everyday carriers have reported flawless performance with these mags through hundreds of rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 13-round magazine fit my Beretta 96FS or 96A1?
Yes, this magazine is designed specifically for the Beretta 96FS, 96A1, and 90-Two chambered in .40 S&W. It will drop right in and function reliably without any modifications needed. Mec-Gar is the OEM supplier for Beretta, so fit and compatibility are guaranteed.
How many more rounds does this hold compared to factory magazines?
Original Beretta 96FS factory magazines held 10-11 rounds. This Mec-Gar mag gives you 13 rounds while maintaining a flush-fit profile that doesn't extend past the grip. That's two extra rounds of firepower without any noticeable size penalty.
What does the anti-friction coating do?
The AFC finish on the magazine tube reduces friction when loading rounds, making it noticeably faster and easier to load by hand. It also provides superior corrosion resistance, protecting the steel from rust and wear even if you run the gun wet or in harsh conditions.
Is this magazine reliable for self-defense or duty use?
Absolutely. Mec-Gar has manufactured factory magazines for Beretta, militaries, and law enforcement for decades with over 100 million mags produced. These aftermarket versions use the same quality standards and materials. Users consistently report flawless feeding and performance through hundreds of rounds in both range and serious use.
Can I use witness holes to count my ammunition?
Yes, the magazine features numbered witness holes along the side that let you quickly see how many rounds are loaded without having to unload the magazine. It's a practical feature for quick ammo checks between stages at the range or during training drills.
How durable is the polymer baseplate?
The high-impact polymer baseplate is designed to withstand drops and repeated use. Users have reported that even after being dropped on hard surfaces repeatedly, these plates hold up without cracking or breaking, and the flush-fit design helps protect it during holster draws and mag changes.
