17 Round Mecgar S&W mags

Does anyone have any experience with the Mecgar S&W 17 round magazines (I use a S&W 459). Some extra hi cap mags have disappointed me in the past, does anyone have some practical experience with these.

I use them. and have for a long time in numberous s/w and SiG pistols.

Technically Mec Gar is probably a little better than oem... They build mags for SiG, berretta, and numberous other high end manufacturers to stick their name on and call "factory"..

They are the best "aftermarket" around.

I've purchased a bunch of Mec-gar mags for various guns. I got one for a model 59 that I'm going to sell. It works great, as do the others.

I'm planning on getting a couple of hi-caqps for my 5906, I have a 1911 mag made by them and it does great.
