Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work in my SIG Sauer P229 as well as the P228?
Yes. The MEC-GAR RPLMCGP22818AFC is dimensionally compatible with both the SIG Sauer P228 and P229 chambered in 9mm. Both pistols share the same magazine well dimensions in 9mm, so this magazine drops free and seats securely in either platform.
What does "AFC" mean, and why does it matter?
AFC stands for Anti-Friction Coating — a specialized surface treatment applied to the exterior of the magazine body. It reduces the friction between the magazine and the pistol's magazine well, allowing for faster, smoother insertions and drops. It also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, helping the magazine hold up to regular use and varied storage conditions.
Is this magazine permanently blocked to 10 rounds, and can it be used outside California?
This magazine is sold as a California-compliant, blocked 10-round magazine, meaning it has been modified to restrict capacity to 10 rounds as required by California law. If you are purchasing this magazine for use in a state without capacity restrictions, you may want to verify the block configuration before purchase, as regulations vary by jurisdiction. Always confirm your local laws before purchasing any restricted-capacity magazine.
