I don't think those are 'Mec Gar' branded but great price for 4 if they feed OK.
The Mec Gar's I have are with a plastic base
I bought those. They work ok. Had a couple rnds nose dive on me (thankfully not during a match) but that was before someone on CGN mentioning the followers had extra flashing around them causing them to not run as smoothly. These don't work with the MecGar +2 bases without some fitting. Knock on wood, my fitted ones haven't broken off as yet.
I got most of my MecGar mags from Als but they're sold out at the moment.
So did you just trim the flashing off and they worked fine after that?
I had read last year perhaps regarding people here testing those mags from Corwin and some had issues, others did not.
He could not get them for a while and looks like they have them again.
If I can make them work well then I'll get some from him being so close and being such a good price.
I've gotten MecGars from Rusty Wood -Marstars also carries them but you never know what he'll charge for shipping.
Hey Paul, yeah, I haven't had a nose dive incident since cleaning off the flashing and that was about 2 matches ago. The ammo still rattles a little when the mag is loaded, unlike the MecGar ones which barely rattles, if at all.
It's a little bit of a trick to getting the follower out and back in but once you get the hang of tipping the follower vertical for it to fall past the constriction, it gets easier.
My first 3 MecGars mags I ordered from Brownells. They were $25US each plus $12.US shipping. Kinda broke even back then when the exchange was a little higher. Now you can probably save $8-10 ordering it from Brownells if they're still $25.ea.

I purchased the whole set of 4 from Corwin for my CZ 85 police trade-in.They are stamped "CZ 75" but fit the CZ 85's superbly. The mags are made in Italy and their quality is excellent. It really doesn't matter for me if they are the MegGars or not as long as they work well. They work in my CZ 85 like a charm. No problems with feeding at all. I highly recommend these mags without any hesitation.
Thanks for the lead, never heard of that site. Like Trin, I’ve been looking at Flaherty’s, ($33.99) been on the email list forever. A friend and I are looking for 10
No problem. I'd give him a call if you want 10. He's a cool guy, lives kind of out in the sticks in Mission.
Yep cleaning the flash off helped ALOT. Also figured out how to remove followers with the dimpled mags ��
