Magazine Question (P89)

[bob223]

Hi
Now that some are available,I want to pick up at least 1 more mag. for my P89D.
Anyone have opinions,either way,on mags. from Mec-Gar?
I don't know the brand,so I thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with them in a Ruger like mine.
Thanks

Welcome. The P-Guns are the best!!

Mec-gar made the factory mags for ruger many years ago and still may actually. I use factory 99% of the time but do have a couple mec-gars too. The 17 rd mags still fit flush if that matters to you.

Enjoy you gun and feel free to post a pic. Gun porn is gooood.

Warning though from one P-nut to another, the P-guns are addictive.

I agree with Roy above... the MecGar mags 17+1 (MGRP8517B) are flush fit/work great. Get yourself a 30 or 32rd mag or two as well... just for grins.

Someone here recently purchased a case of P Series Mags, but I have not heard or seen any posts to sell any of them.....

Probably not a problem... but keep in mind the very first run of 89s took a different magazine than the later model p-9mm magazines.....

Thanks for the replies,I'd have answered earlier but I didn't get any mail about this.
The 17rd mags are what I was looking at,I have 15s now.
It seems you never know what you're getting into with replacement mags,so I wanted to ask.
I prefer to develop my own problems rather than buy some I didn't know about.
Thanks

The OEM mags might be different, only slightly.... but the MecGar mags 17+1 (MGRP8517B) should work in all P's as far as I know.

I ordered 1,sounds like it should be fine.
If you register a C&R license with them they discount most things 10%.
It's not a bad deal.

I'm lost. Where do you get a 10% discount for having a C & R license? Mec-Gar?

Numrich in this case.
Brownells offers it also.

tnx, I did not know that

I don't remember how I first found out about this,but quite a few businesses discount to FFL holders.And many of those,but not all,give the same discount to FFL3 holders as they do FFL1 holders.
It doesn't hurt to write to sales@insert name here and ask about that.
You generally have to fax or e-mail them a signed copy of your license.After that,it's pretty easy and painless.
