Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted April 8, 2011 Not to pi$$ in your cornflakes, but that ad ran up a little red flag. While the picture shows a Sig Factory Mag with the Sig logo on it, the text of the ad says the mags are unmarked. Nowhere does it say these are Sig mags, it just says they are for the Sig 226 in 9mm. I hope you don't end up with Pro-Mags or something equally non-functional. Good luck. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imperialfish 11 Posted April 8, 2011 That's the first thing that came to mind when I read the description. So I contacted the company and here was there response. These are in fact factory sealed. It is extra inventory we have. Although I'm not sure why the wording is the way it is on the site, I assume the "unmarked" means they are in excellent condition, not used. They are still in the original unopened bags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imperialfish 11 Posted April 8, 2011 Once they come in I will confirm and post pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted April 8, 2011 That's good. While I am typically a "glass-half-full" kind of guy, I also operate by the principle of "If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't". Glad you found a deal. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imperialfish 11 Posted April 8, 2011 I know what you mean I have been that road once or twice my-self. Now I try to make sure I know exactly what im getting myself into covering all angles. Thanks for pointing it out though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 81 Posted April 8, 2011 I'm eager to hear what you have to say, was hoping to pick some up. The most recent iteration of factory mags work the best in my P226. For some reason, the last generation of mags with the slight bump on the floorplate, and the different follower fit too snugly and don't drop free easily. The picture looks like the newest version.

NJCK 5 Posted April 8, 2011 You may unfortunately receive CheckMate-manufactured factory mags instead of the desireable Mec-Gars as $25 is the going rate on CheckMate's for the 226. Exeter began using CheckMate last year as an OEM supplier. CheckMates are made in the USA, and it's often indicated on the magazine itself or on the plastic wrapper they will be in. CheckMates for Sig are known to be unreliable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skibum2 6 Posted April 9, 2011 I ordered and received three of these. They are identical to the extra mag I purchased from the Sig store last year ($46 on the Sig website). They have the SS logo on the side and say "Mec-Gar Made in Italy". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bry@n 195 Posted April 15, 2011 trying to stay out of this thread. I am a mag whore and this thread is very tempting.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrP 81 Posted April 15, 2011 I ordered some on Friday and hadn't received any shipping confirmation like everyone else did, so I was about to write an email asking when they'd be shipped... and the Fed Ex guy showed up. Exactly as advertised, Mec-Gar 15 rounders. Very pleased with my order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 15, 2011 i assume they have anti friction coating? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted April 15, 2011 please let me know if they are, cause then I will buy them, but I assume they are not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 15, 2011 bry@n i can probably let you know tomorrow it seems. i placed my order at 3:31 and Estimated delivery is Apr 15, 2011 by 4:30 PM as for the finishes, so i get my terminology correct. there is AFC which is black and shiny, phosphate finish which is matte and gritty, and the mec car nickel shiny ones. is that correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted April 15, 2011 not sure on the afc. there is blued, then there is phosphate which is black and shiny, there there is the new finish which is like parkerized, then there is anti snag which is the parkerized and kinda polished. I think I confused the phosphate and parkerized....lol I will show you the anti snags, when we meet for the srt's. They should be in tomorrow. Got a notice in the mail today.

skibum2 6 Posted April 15, 2011 These are the phosphate matte finish Mec-Gar's. Not sure if they are anti-snag though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 15, 2011 i guess the 226 ones are might be anti snag. they are a lot smoother and shiny. the p229 ones a re matte and rough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted April 15, 2011 The anti snag looks almost blackish. They are smoother and shinier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 16, 2011 I just got them. I'll open them in a little bit. What does sig ship with the guns. I'd have to say the ones I got factory are anti snag I guess? And the ones I got for the 229 are regular matte phosphate. Too many different options it makes it really hard to follow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n4p226r 105 Posted April 16, 2011 got them. seems they are the matte phosphate. the factory ones i have must be the anti snag. heres the 2 factory ones i got and the 4 i got from the link here. overall id say it was a great price and an amazing turnaround time. too bad he didnt have any p229 40/357 mags or i would pick some of them up too. although at 6 15rd 9mm p226 mags, id say im a little better off than i was a few days ago if the zombies come! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/wsaraceni/IMG_1879.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted April 16, 2011 looks like the originals are blued. If they have a slick appreance and the back of the mag is shiny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
