MEC-GAR MAG RUGER P85 9MM 17RD BL

Description

Mec-Gar has supplied magazines to firearm manufacturers and military contracts since 1965, and this replacement magazine for the Ruger P85, P89, P93, P94, and P95 reflects that depth of experience. It is a straightforward choice for any owner of those pistols who wants a reliable spare or wants to carry more rounds than the factory magazine allows.

The capacity advantage is worth understanding in practical terms: Mec-Gar achieves 17 rounds in 9mm while maintaining a flush fit with the pistol’s grip. That means two additional rounds over the standard factory magazine without adding any length to the grip frame or requiring a basepad extension. The geometry stays the same; only the round count changes.

Construction uses a heat-treated carbon steel tube, which retains its shape under the sustained compression of a fully loaded spring over time. The spring itself is high-tensile music wire, chosen for consistent feed force across the full range of round count. A high-impact polymer follower keeps the cartridge positioned at the correct angle as the stack drops, reducing the likelihood of feed interruptions near the bottom of the magazine. The metal floorplate locks up flush against the frame.

The blued finish on this variant matches the designation MGRP8517B. Mec-Gar also produces the same magazine with a nickel finish under a separate part number, so confirm the finish before ordering if that matters to you. This magazine covers all serial number ranges of the compatible Ruger P-series pistols, so there is no need to cross-reference your serial number against a compatibility list.
