Description
Mec-Gar has been manufacturing magazines as an original equipment supplier to major firearm producers since 1965, and this P228 magazine reflects that production heritage. The tube is formed from heat-treated carbon steel, which allows the walls to handle the sustained stress of repeated loading cycles without taking a set over time. The spring is wound from high-tensile music wire, a material chosen for consistent compression and return force across thousands of load-and-fire cycles rather than the softer wire sometimes used in budget replacements.
The follower and floorplate are both molded from high-impact polymer. The follower geometry is designed to strip rounds cleanly and present them at the correct feed angle for the P228’s chamber. The floorplate sits flush with the frame, so the magazine does not alter the grip profile or snag during a reload. At 15 rounds, this magazine adds two rounds over the standard factory P228 magazine while maintaining that flush fit — a meaningful gain that requires no grip extension or basepad.
The blued finish on the steel tube is Mec-Gar’s standard offering for this model. Bluing provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance and keeps the exterior from binding against the magazine well during insertion. For shooters running a P228 as a carry or duty pistol, having a spare magazine from the same manufacturer that produced the pistol’s original equipment means feeding geometry and spring tension are matched to what the firearm was designed around rather than approximated.
