Description
SAR USA makes a point of building the SAR9 SOCOM platform to a higher standard than most full-size polymer pistols in its class, and the magazines that feed it are no exception. This is the factory 17-round SOCOM magazine direct from Sarsilmaz, not a third-party clone. That matters because the tolerances, feed lip geometry, and follower design are all spec'd to work with the pistol's chamber and feeding angle from day one.
Construction is blued stainless steel, which gives you solid corrosion resistance and the kind of durability that holds up over years of range use. The polymer follower keeps things lightweight while maintaining consistent cartridge alignment through the full round count, and the stainless steel spring delivers steady, reliable feeding whether you're running the first round or the last. The OD green polymer base plate isn't just a cosmetic touch, it ties in cleanly with the SOCOM's OD green Cerakote finish and makes this mag easy to identify in a mixed bag of spares.
The SAR9 SOCOM pistol ships from the factory with a flared aluminum magwell, and this 17-round magazine is designed to work with it. Reloads feel smooth and positive, which is exactly what you want when you're drilling mag changes at the range or setting this gun up for home defense duty.
This magazine also works in the standard SAR9 full-size platform, so if you run both or you're picking up a few spares to share between guns, you're covered. Whether you're stocking up for range days or rounding out a carry or home defense setup, having at least one or two factory mags on hand is just good practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this SOCOM magazine work in a standard SAR9 full-size pistol?
Yes, the SAR9 SOCOM 17-round magazine is compatible with the standard SAR9 full-size platform as well. The SOCOM and standard SAR9 share the same magazine well dimensions, so swapping between the two is not an issue. It's a handy detail if you run more than one gun in the SAR9 family.
What is the base plate material on this magazine?
The base plate is a lightweight polymer finished in OD green, which is designed to complement the OD green Cerakote finish found on the SAR9 SOCOM pistol. Beyond aesthetics, the polymer base plate adds a bit of shock resistance during hard drops or fast magazine changes, which is a practical benefit.
Is this a factory magazine or an aftermarket option?
This is a genuine factory magazine made by Sarsilmaz, the Turkish manufacturer behind the SAR9 SOCOM. Factory mags are spec'd to the exact tolerances of the pistol, meaning the feed lips, follower geometry, and spring tension are all dialed in for that platform specifically. For a gun you're relying on, that's the way to go.
How does this magazine work with the SAR9 SOCOM's flared magwell?
The SAR9 SOCOM ships with an aluminum flared magwell, and this 17-round magazine is designed to be inserted through it. The combination makes for quicker, more positive reloads, particularly under range conditions when you're drilling transitions. The OD green base plate also gives your fingers a clean reference point during a mag change.
Does this magazine disassemble for cleaning?
Yes, the base plate is removable, which allows you to field strip the magazine for cleaning and spring inspection. SAR's owner's manual includes a dedicated section on magazine maintenance, and keeping your mags clean is one of the easiest ways to prevent feeding issues over the long haul.
