Hey nutz, been wondering if someone that owns any Sig P226 "tacops" 20rds (read 20/10) mags could tell me how they were neutered... And where can I get some.
talking about these mags here:

capped, rivetted, welded... ??
just got me a MK25 and it is begging for more mags :)

I just received my order from irunguns. Bought 4 18 rounders for my MK25 and they are rivetted. Very clean job too. I guess that the 20 rounders would be the same.
 
I just bought mine from NR Magazines. It should arrive in august. I believe I took the last 2 left. However if you go to their forum on here you can inquire on custom orders. Price in my pov was really good and they are super fast in getting back to you.
 
rivetted//pinned mags will eventually catch on the magazine spring preventing the spring to push the next round up. Yes you can file it down but the rivet will be still there and eventually it will happen. For a modified mag I would go with something that fills the mags and uses a 10 rnd spring. Now, if what you were really thinking is to remove the rivet and shoot 20 rnds, well yes you can do that, but that is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
I recommend buying 10 rnds magazines, no pins, no weldings they are law abiding and problem free when it comes to reliability.
Cheers
 
Who the frak is taling about not respecting the laws other than you here?
All I ask is how those mags are neutered and where I can find some as I am considering them for my new Sig.
 
Nobody, it something that can cross your mind after the 10th time you have had your gun jammed because of a rivet (not because you want to go beyond the law but just because you are not having fun, call it whatever you want).
After all, it is just you at the range no one can see what your are doing, and you could still load 10 rnds or more if you WISH....There is no point of buying a 20rnd mag when you cannot use it..... FREE WILL MY FRIEND, take it easy, just giving you my 2 cents.

I can tell you it DID cross my mind when that happened to me, a few failures here and there, and then what: I sold those mags I have only 10 rnders now.

That doesnt look like the same site at all... but thanks :) exactly what i was looking for, good price too...
 
Well, 15 years and tens of thousands of rounds thru my pinned mags and I've never had a jam due to blocking. You seem to have bad luck.

There are lots of reasons to buy a mag that was originally built to hold more than ten rounds, the best of which is 'because I can'.

I bought a 10/12 (or is it 10/13) 40cal Checkmate 226 mag from Questar and it had a piece of metal welded inside to reduce it to 10.5. I think that's the best way to limit the mags as there is no rivet to interfere with the mag dropping free.

I don't own any 18 or 20rd Sig 9mm mags so I can't tell you how those are pinned. I think each supplier will pin them the way they want.

I have a batch of the Norc 10/15 mags. Half the price of Sig mags, drop free, no feed issues. They are pinned with a post clamped to the bottom of the spring so no jam issues ever, they come apart to clean very nicely, and because they are 15 round springs you can load 10 without straining your thumb.
 
Somebody but I'm certainly not admitting it's me uses .40 10 rd. mags with the followers from 9mm ones.

If you alter the .40 calibre magazines they no longer fall under the fire-arm for which they were designed description, as given in RCMP Bulletin 72. At that point, if they can fit more than 10 rounds of whichever cartridge the police want to stuff in there, they're going to call it a Prohibited Device.

It's a little difficult to argue in court that you ‘accidentally’ put a different follower in the mag., especially if you get caught with ‘accidentally’ more than 10 9mm in there. Slightly-bent feed lips are a lot harder to prove.

The likelihood of having your mag.s examined closely enough for anyone to see the alteration is exceedingly small. Still shouldn't talk about it, though.
 
Ok thanks, I was thinking going with the +2 and switching my grip for the factory magwell "TacOps", but I'm having second thoughts so these might be the one.
