Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Mec-Gar's Glock magazines different from standard OEM ones?

Mec-Gar's Glock magazines are made of metal and feature an indented magazine catch area instead of a full cutout. This design prevents excessive wear on the firearm's plastic magazine release, a common issue with some metal aftermarket magazines.

Are Mec-Gar's new Glock magazines compatible with all Glock models?

Mec-Gar offers 18-round magazines for both Glock 17 and Glock 19 models. The Glock 17 version is a flush fit, while the Glock 19 version includes a built-in extension plate on the base plate for increased capacity and grip.

How easy is it to clean Mec-Gar's Glock magazines?

Mec-Gar magazines are designed for easy maintenance. The base plate can be removed by pressing a small detent button, and all internal components (follower, spring, locking lug) remain captured on the spring, allowing the magazine body to be cleaned as a hollow cylinder.

Can Mec-Gar Glock magazines be used in Glock clones like the Ruger RXM?

Yes, the video demonstrates that Mec-Gar's Glock magazines function reliably in the Ruger RXM, a pistol designed as a Glock 19 Gen 3 clone. This indicates good compatibility with firearms that accept standard Glock magazines.
