Mec-Gar® USA 2011 / 2311 / Prodigy™ Extended Magazine – 22 Round 9mm Luger – 140mm Anti-Friction Coating – MG20112200A
The Mec-Gar® USA Double-Stack 2011 / 2311 / Prodigy™ 22-Round 9mm Extended Tactical Magazine (MG20112200A) represents a premier mechanical advancement in high-capacity duty and competition feed platforms, engineered in Italy to maximize firearm efficiency and structural lifecycle tracks. While custom double-stack 1911 and 2011 platforms offer world-class accuracy curves on paper, they are notoriously sensitive to magazine internal dynamics—legacy high-capacity tubes frequently encounter severe internal tube binding, frame feed lip spreading under maximum payload tension, and failure-to-feed short cycles during intensive high-speed shooting strings. The Mec-Gar USA engineering matrix fully resolves those dynamic handling liabilities. This premium 140mm extended feeding instrument (765595200104) infuses space-age anti-friction surface science into standard 1911 double-stack layouts, serving as an exceptional primary asset for USPSA/IDPA competition tracking, tactical law enforcement loadouts, and home-defense staging lines.
The structural foundation of this extended performance core is precision-stamped from a monolithic stock of high-grade, heat-treated carbon steel. Meticulously tool-machined in Italy to exact dimensional specifications, the seamless metal body shrugs off severe structural deformation and high-impact drop shocks when hitting hard concrete during rapid combat magazine changes. The defining technical edge of the MG20112200A configuration is its specialized **Anti-Friction Coating (AFC) treatment**. This proprietary, deeply slick finish reduces surface resistance inside the tube by up to 90% compared to standard blued finishes. The slick barrier prevents heavy carbon soot buildup from seizing the cartridge stack, ensures completely friction-free drop-free weapon extractions, and forms a near-impenetrable wall against hand sweat oxidation and environmental moisture corrosion lines.
The true functional highlight of this high-capacity competition tracker lies in its optimized internal geometry and comprehensive multi-vendor host versatility. Driven linearly by a custom-calibrated, **high-tensile music wire internal coil spring paired with a low-friction, high-impact polymer follower**, the magazine presents 9x19mm Parabellum cartridges with absolute, uniform alignment right down to the final round, reliably engaging the host slide stop loop on an empty chamber. Outfitted with a **durable polymer extended basepad** designed to fit standard 140mm competition gauge parameters while supplying extra grip purchase for positive seating, this 3.20-ounce tracking asset delivers absolute mechanical authority across **Springfield Armory® Prodigy™, EAA/Girsan Witness 2311, Kimber® 2K11 / DS Warrior, LFA Apollo 11, Tisas® Double Stack, and legacy Staccato®/STI style 2011 clone configurations**.
Includes: (1) Mec-Gar USA OEM 2011/2311 Extended 22-Round 9mm Magazine (Premium Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Anti-Friction Coating Finish), High-Impact Polymer Follower, High-Tensile Music Wire Spring, Extended Impact-Resistant Basepad, and Factory Presentation Cardboard Retail Hang-Tag Packaging.
*State Capacity Compliance & Platform Note: Because this extended magazine holds an overall capacity of 22 rounds, it cannot be shipped directly to restrictive jurisdictions enforcing low-capacity magazine regulations (including CA, CO, CT, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, RI, VT, and WA). Additionally, please note that Staccato® implemented production design changes to their factory 2011 pistol frames in 2024; consequently, this specific Mec-Gar 140mm layout is optimized for pre-2024 Staccato/STI specifications and standard 2011/2311/Prodigy clone frames, and will not properly seat in post-change Staccato frames.
Key Features
- Extended 22-Round 140mm Payload: Drastically maximizes cartridge volumes to optimize stage scoring curves in USPSA Limited/Carry Optics divisions and defense readiness baselines.
- Advanced Anti-Friction Coating (AFC): Proprietary surface science finish ensures ultra-smooth cartridge elevation, prevents carbon binding, and guarantees fluid, drop-free mag changes.
- Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Tube: Indestructible structural foundation resists feed-lip spread under full spring load, ensuring pristine feeding geometry over thousands of cycles.
- High-Tensile Music Wire Spring: Heavy-duty internal spring engineering maintains uniform kinetic upwards energy to counter slide cycle variations and protect feed ramp tracking lines.
- Ergonomic Extended Basepad: High-impact polymer floorplate adds crucial seating leverage when slamming the magazine home inside deep, flared weapon mag wells.
- Broad 2011/2311 Double-Stack Fitment: Engineered for absolute, cross-platform compatibility across Springfield Prodigy, Girsan 2311, Tisas, LFA, and standard 140mm 2011 clone hosts.
