You must really hate checkmate mags? I assume they are the ones stamped made in USA. I have put a couple hundred rounds through the ones that came with my gun (dated 11/12) and have no issues? Maybee I got lucky. Might try a Mec-gar and see what all the hype is about.

Agreed!
I sold all of my checkmates...
All I have now is MecGar... 10 of them, 7 Pinned reg cap and 3x 10'rds with plastic baseplate.
They were last time I ordered some
Maybee I'll be adding some items on EE, Marstar has some coming I'll give a try. I guess it's a cost saving thing for Sig if the mec-gar are that much better you would think they would have stuck with them.
Thanks
I found them hard to load... crazy strong springs. Otherwise after my thumbs stopped bleeding they cycled perfectly. I like MecGar mags as well. Ditched my Checkmate's and bought MecGar's. If you go to the Sig forums there is a lot of hate on Checkmate. Clearly the quality isn't as good. Was definitely a way to save money by Sig. MecGar used to manufacture mags for Sig, by the way. MecGar's are better and cheaper (at least in the US, probably here too).
I hope you do okay with those. I have never ever ever had good luck with any pinned/rivited/welded pistol magazines especially SIG Always always issues... 10 round SIG mags, that's the way to go. (65 bucks?!) OUCH!
I bought 4 10rd MecGar's for $26/each from the states (Numrich) a couple years ago. Good mags, just don't drop them with the plastic baseplate. The pinned or welded Checkmate 40cal mags are the ones that will work in a 9mm 226 by the way
I have been looking for some Mecgars. Found five, They still available from over the border? I didn't think you could do that?! Does Numrich ship to us, bro?I bought 4 10rd MecGar's for $26/each from the states (Numrich) a couple years ago. Good mags, just don't drop them with the plastic baseplate.

Try Dennis at The Shooters Den in Ontario...I picked up a third one a few weeks ago and I saw at least 2 others behind the counter yesterday.
PM me if you want his number.

Yes they do. Are they in stock or current price... not a clue.
Thanks bro, Just called and left Dennis a message.

^ You're welcome...now just pray that he can them! And, they were loose and tucked into a space beside the gunpowder cans behind the counter...that may help.
