40 S&W Mags for PC4

[J.R. Kennedy]

Regarding 40 S&W magazines for the PC4 and K944, i have a collection of the 10 round 90089. I understand that Ruger made a 11 round LE magazine that was not available to the public. Does 90092 ring a bell with any of you.

I found some 11 round mags on one of the auction sites a couple of years ago. As I recall they had a yellow indicator on the bottom of the mag. I couldn't use them in NY though.

i found some new mags at a local gun shop . They are all marked P17 on the package. i bought them ,they are all 11 rounders. I believe that the P91 pistol made from 1992-1994 used them first, then came the PC4 in 1997 and they switched to 10 rounders.? any body else know??????

P17 is 11 rounds. P17/10 is 10 rounds. When the mag ban [1994] came to be Ruger reduced the capacity by crimping the sides of the mag in. That design change also deleted the annoying rattle that a full 11 rounds in a P17 made. They never went back to 11 rounds after the ban expired. Hope that helps!

Then there is that weird creased unit you have mrmike. I wish I could see one of these first hand.

i've seen only a few others like it....They don't even look like the new 10 rounders. What they do look like , is a 15 round 9mm magazine body, that they stamped 40cal. instead of 9mm...maybe they were running short of the 40 cal. ones and used what they had?
the followers are definitely the 40 cal. parts....the springs and plastic bases are interchangeable with the 9mm.

CDNN had a bunch or the Ruger factory 11 rounders 3 or 4 years ago. I bought 8 or 10 of them right after I bought my PC4. Got two more of them and a 10 rounder when I bought my used KP944 DC a few mons later. All LE marked and except for the .40 designation they do look like the 9mm
