For those that are knowledgeable of Sig Sauer I could use your expertise. I purchased a 9mm P229 Dark Elite Handgun... beautiful looking pistol. Case dated 14-Jan-2013. Magazines that came with it are 13-rounds each (sold as 15-rounds). One side of the magazine is stamped Sig Sauer 9 mm; other side is Mec-Gar, made in Italy with three holes - last hole is marked 13, over an inch from the floorplate. Question 1: I assumed that the supplied magazines would hold 15 cartridges until I got home and tried to load the magazines. Now I know they are 13. Would these be OEM magazines made by Mec-Gar or Mec-Gar replacements? Question 2: I might assume that the seller intended to add Mec-Gar “plus-2 adapter” floorplates to make them 15 rounds. I will not know until they get back to me. Do you think the adapters would fit? Question 3: While waiting for the three-week NICS clearance I purchased two additional magazines. Everything I read said that I need the P229-1 version magazines, so that is what I purchased. These are true 15-rounds each. Sig Sauer P229-1 is stamped on one side, made in Italy on the other. Nothing is stamped Mec-Gar but I assume they are. These magazines get just slightly wider on the half toward the floorplate so they will not insert any more then half-way. Any ideas why this P229-1 version will not fit?
