Description
The Walther PP and PPK/S are among the most recognized compact pistols in history, and finding a reliable magazine at this capacity can be genuinely difficult. Mec-Gar’s finger rest floorplate option addresses the grip challenge inherent to these slim, short-framed pistols: the extended polymer floorplate gives your pinky finger a purchase that the factory-flush base often leaves hanging. For shooters with average to large hands, that contact point meaningfully changes how the pistol sits during both the draw and follow-up shots.
Mec-Gar has supplied magazines to major firearm manufacturers as an OEM partner since 1965, and the construction here reflects that industrial background rather than an aftermarket retrofit approach. The tube and follower are heat-treated carbon steel, which keeps the feed geometry consistent under compression over long-term storage. The spring is drawn from high-tensile music wire, chosen for its resistance to set — the gradual weakening that happens when a spring is held compressed. TIG welding adds structural integrity at the seams, and the exterior receives a corrosion-resistant surface treatment appropriate to the blued designation Mec-Gar calls out for this variant. The polymer finger rest floorplate keeps weight down at the base while providing the tactile extension that makes this option worthwhile over the flush alternative.
This magazine is made in Italy and fits both the Walther PP and the PPK/S in .32 ACP. If you run the PPK/S as a carry pistol, the finger rest adds minimal bulk while giving you something concrete to wrap your hand around during the draw — a practical trade-off worth considering against the cleaner profile of a flush base.
