Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit all SIG Sauer P229 pistols?
This Mec-Gar magazine fits modern SIG Sauer P229 pistols chambered in 9mm that accept the wider, contoured magazine body. It is not compatible with older P229 models that use a narrow, flat-sided magazine. If you're unsure which generation your pistol is, check the magazine well width or consult your owner's manual before ordering.
Why does a 10-round magazine have a 17-round body?
This magazine uses a full-size 17-round steel body that has been permanently blocked to hold only 10 rounds, making it legal for sale and possession in California. The full-size body preserves the natural grip feel and ergonomics of the P229 platform, so there is no compromise in how the pistol handles compared to using a standard-capacity magazine.
What does AFC (Anti-Friction Coating) mean, and why does it matter?
AFC, or Anti-Friction Coating, is a specialized surface treatment applied to the interior and exterior of the magazine. It reduces friction between the follower and magazine body for smoother feeding, and it provides a corrosion-resistant barrier that protects the steel from moisture and everyday wear. This translates to more reliable cycling and a longer service life compared to uncoated magazines.
