Explore Mec-Gar STANDARD: Tactical Magazine for Kimber Ten II

When reliability and geometry matter at the range or in the field, your magazine is more than just a box that holds rounds — it’s a precision component that determines feeding consistency, ease of use, and how quickly you can get back to target transitions. As operators and experienced shooters, we look for magazines that match the pistol’s ergonomics, use durable materials, and offer predictable performance under stress.

MEC-GAR STANDARD is a 14-round magazine built specifically for the Kimber Ten II, crafted in Italy using advanced production methods and premium materials. This design pairs a heat-treated carbon steel tube with a high-impact polymer follower and a flush-fitting high-impact polymer floor plate, giving the magazine both durability and a low-profile fit in the pistol.

Overview: Purpose-built for Kimber Ten II

The MEC-GAR STANDARD is not a generic universal magazine; it’s purpose-built with Kimber 1911-style ergonomics in mind. Designed to fit flush with the pistol’s grip, the polymer floor plate sits even with the frame so the magazine doesn’t snag on holsters or clothing during draws and reholstering. For shooters who value a clean footprint and straightforward carry, that flush fit is an asset.

Design & Materials

Italian manufacturing and quality control

Mec-Gar magazines are made in Italy, where tight tolerances and modern production techniques are standard practice. The MEC-GAR STANDARD benefits from that legacy: precise tube dimensions and consistent spring tension help reduce feeding anomalies that can arise from poorly manufactured bodies.

Heat-treated carbon steel tube

The tube is heat treated carbon steel, chosen for its strength, wear resistance, and ability to retain shape under repeated loading cycles. A resilient tube resists deformation that can cause binding or erratic follower movement, especially after hundreds of rounds.

High-impact polymer follower and floor plate

A polymer follower reduces friction and can be more forgiving against debris than metal followers. The high-impact polymer floor plate minimizes weight and contributes to the flush fit. Those polymer components also lower corrosion risk compared to all-metal assemblies and help preserve reliable function in varied conditions.

Performance & Reliability

Functionally, a magazine’s job is simple: present the round consistently and return to battery without fail. The MEC-GAR STANDARD’s combination of a hardened carbon steel body with a polymer follower provides smooth, repeatable feeding. The 14-round capacity matches common expectations for a Kimber Ten II while maintaining the 1911 grip balance most operators prefer.

Handling and ergonomics

Because the floor plate sits flush, reloading feels cleaner and the pistol retains its natural grip profile. That’s an advantage for competitive shooters and professionals who rely on consistent hand placement for accuracy and speed. Additionally, the magazine’s spring tension holds rounds firmly without being overly stiff, aiding rapid slide locks and releases during reloads.

Fitment & Compatibility

Specifically chambered for the Kimber Ten II, the MEC-GAR STANDARD is tailored to the 1911-style feed lips and magazine well dimensions of that model. While some aftermarket mags try to be multi-fit, a magazine made to the pistol’s spec reduces wobble in the mag well and minimizes feeding angle variance — two common contributors to malfunctions in the 1911 platform.

Installation, Maintenance & Best Practices

Initial inspection and break-in

Before first use, inspect the magazine for burrs on the feed lips, ensure the follower moves freely, and load a few cycles by hand. Break-in is minimal with high-quality components, but running several magazines through a bore of function drills will confirm harmony between your pistol and the MEC-GAR STANDARD.

Cleaning and longevity

Keep the magazine tube clean of carbon and grit. The polymer follower and floor plate tolerate solvents well, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals that could degrade spring temper. Periodically remove the spring and clean the interior of the tube, then lightly lubricate the spring and reassemble.

Value and Pricing

At a listed price of $23.39, the MEC-GAR STANDARD hits a practical price point for a durable, factory-quality magazine. For shooters who prioritize reliable feeding and an exacting fit for Kimber Ten II pistols, that price reflects a balance of performance and economy — a spare or two in the kit adds redundancy without a major investment.

Practical Recommendations

For range days and defensive carry with a Kimber Ten II, carry at least one spare MEC-GAR STANDARD magazine. Keep magazines rotated in your maintenance schedule so springs don’t fatigue from prolonged compression. If you run defensively minded drills, test a mix of ammunition types to verify consistent feed under recoil and slide speed variations.

Professionally built, specifically fitted, and reasonably priced, the MEC-GAR STANDARD is a sound upgrade or replacement magazine for Kimber Ten II owners. If you want to add reliable spares to your holster bag or range kit, this one deserves a close look. Shop this product
