Mec-Gar Beretta 92FS / M9 9mm 18-Round Flush-Fit Steel Magazine - Anti-Friction Coating - MGPB9218AFC - UPC: 765595510005
Product Description
The Mec-Gar MGPB9218AFC is an upgraded 18-round flush-fit magazine engineered for full-size Beretta 92-series handguns and M9 sidearms. Utilizing re-engineered internal geometry and a high-efficiency follower design, Mec-Gar increases total payload by +3 rounds over standard 15-round factory magazines while maintaining a flush fit against the bottom of the grip frame. Manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel, the housing provides exceptional structural rigidity to prevent feed lip flexing and body expansion under high spring load.
The exterior of the steel body is treated with Mec-Gar’s proprietary Anti-Friction Coating (AFC). This specialized finish significantly reduces friction during loading and insertion, provides high resistance against rust and corrosion, and ensures slick, drop-free ejection during rapid mag changes. Internally, a high-tensile music wire spring pairs with a low-friction anti-tilt follower to deliver continuous, uniform upward pressure, ensuring uninterrupted chambering across standard target ball ammunition and modern defensive hollow points.
Built in Italy to strict OEM standards, the MGPB9218AFC features a high-impact polymer floorplate that sits flush with the pistol grip while absorbing shock when dropped onto hard surfaces. Stamped rear witness holes allow operators to quickly verify round count during staging or range practice.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Platform Compatibility Matrix:
• Primary: Beretta 92FS, M9, 92G, 92X, 92A1, M9A1, M9A3, M9A4, 92 Elite, and CX4 Storm carbines (Beretta magazine well configuration).
• Secondary: Taurus PT92 and PT99 handguns (may require minor frame catch notch adjustment on early production models).
Maintenance & Disassembly Steps:
1. Depress the center floorplate retaining button through the bottom hole of the polymer floorplate using a punch tool.
2. Slide the polymer baseplate forward off the retaining rails while maintaining firm thumb control over the spring lock plate.
3. Wipe down the interior walls using a dry cotton swab to clear unburnt powder residue; keep internal surfaces dry and free of heavy oil to avoid attracting grit and carbon.
