Mec-Gar Glock 17 18 Round 9MM Magazine Black MGG171800A UPC 765595900004
Product Description
The Mec-Gar Glock 17 18-Round 9mm Magazine (MGG171800A) is a high-performance, extended-capacity magazine engineered specifically for full-size Glock 9mm pistols. Renowned worldwide for producing military and OEM-spec magazines, Mec-Gar brings its precision Italian manufacturing to the Glock pattern platform, delivering an increased 18-round capacity inside a flush-to-extended geometry that fits standard full-size frames seamlessly.
Constructed with a heat-treated carbon steel body lined with a smooth, high-grade polymer shell, this magazine combines structural steel strength with polymer lubricity. Treated with a anti-friction black coating, the internal mag well surfaces reduce feed friction, preventing drag and ensuring rapid round presentation under rapid-fire sequences or adverse dirt and carbon conditions.
Featuring a high-visibility follower, heavy-duty music wire spring, and toolless removable floorplate, the MGG171800A guarantees positive slide lockup on empty magazines and effortless field stripping for routine armorer cleaning. Designed for duty carry, range training, and PCC competition platforms, Mec-Gar delivers unyielding cycling reliability and increased capacity for 9mm Glock handguns.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits Glock 17, Glock 34, Glock 19X, Glock 45, and Glock 47 (Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5). Also compatible with Glock 19 and Glock 26 platforms (will extend below grip magwell). Fully ambidextrous mag catch notch cuts accommodate left or right-handed magazine releases.
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop any inserted magazine, lock the slide rearward, and visually inspect the chamber.
- Load 9mm Luger cartridges manually or using a speed loader, pressing rounds firmly rearward against the back wall of the magazine tube.
- Insert the loaded Mec-Gar magazine firmly into the pistol magwell until the ambidextrous side catch notches engage with an audible click.
- For maintenance: depress the baseplate retention insert tab through the bottom floorplate hole and slide the floorplate forward while controlling internal spring tension with your thumb.
- Wipe the internal steel liner and spring clean with a dry patch (avoid leaving heavy oil inside the magazine tube to prevent powder debris accumulation).
