Mec-Gar Ruger P85/P89 17-Round Magazine - Black

Mec-Gar 17-Round P89 Mag

This Mec-Gar magazine holds 17 rounds of 9mm Luger for the Ruger P-series pistols, two more than the factory Ruger magazine, and it still sits flush with the bottom of the grip. It suits P85 and P89 owners who want spare magazines for the range, the duty belt or the nightstand without adding an extended baseplate. The finish is a traditional blue that matches the classic look of these pistols.

Features

• 17-Round Capacity — Holds 17 rounds of 9mm Luger (9x19mm), two more than the standard Ruger factory magazine.
• Flush-Fit Design — The extra capacity fits inside the standard tube length, so the floorplate sits level with the base of the grip and nothing extra hangs below it.
• Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Tube — The body is formed from carbon steel and heat treated to hold its shape and keep the feed lips at the correct spacing.
• Blued Finish — Bluing, a chemical treatment that darkens the steel, gives the tube its deep blue-black color and some protection against rust.
• High-Impact Polymer Follower — The follower, the black piece that pushes rounds up toward the chamber, is molded from tough polymer for smooth travel inside the tube.
• Music Wire Spring — A high-tensile music wire spring keeps steady pressure on the stack from the first round to the last.
• Witness Holes — Numbered holes in the side of the tube at 5, 10 and 17 rounds show how many cartridges are loaded at a glance.
• Metal Floorplate — A steel floorplate closes the base of the tube and slides off for cleaning.
• Made In Italy — Mec-Gar builds the magazine in Italy, and the tube carries the Mec-Gar logo, the MG-RP85-17 part marking and a patent number.

Build And Compatibility

The magazine fits the Ruger P85, P89, P93, P94 and P95 pistols and the Ruger PC9 carbine, across all serial number ranges. It weighs about 0.50 lb (227 g) empty. Mec-Gar supplies magazines to many pistol makers as original equipment, and this one is built from the same materials: carbon steel tube, polymer follower and music wire spring.
