Mec-Gar magazines are made in Italy with the most sophisticated technologies and best materials. This mag features a high-impact polymer follower, heat treated carbon steel tube, and a polymer floor plate with a drop protection system. The drop protection system will reduce the shock and failures of magazines when they are dropped on hard surfaces such as in self-defense or competition use. The anti-friction coating allows for easy loading, reduced malfunctions, and superior anti-corrosion properties.
