Overview

The MEC-GAR SIG SAUER magazine is built to complement the Sig P226 X5 platform. It features an antifriction coating and a black finish that resists wear and eases slide-to-mag interactions. Internal components are interlinked for consistent spring alignment and dependable feeding. Mec-Gar includes its MecGars 2 aluminum floor plate as part of the package, offering a durable, lightweight base for the magazine.

Key Features and Tactical Benefits

Antifriction Coating

The antifriction coating reduces drag between the follower and mag body, which decreases the chance of hang-ups during rapid follow-up shots. That smoother interface also helps maintain consistent spring tension and feed angles under prolonged use.

Interlinked Internal Components

Interlinked components mean the follower, spring, and internal geometry work as a cohesive unit. For practical use that translates to more reliable chambering, fewer stovepipes, and repeatable performance during drills and training.

MecGars 2 Aluminum Floor Plate

The included MecGars 2 aluminum floor plate adds a rugged endpoint to the magazine while keeping weight modest. Aluminum floor plates stand up better to repeated drops and magazine changes than thin polymer bases, and they provide a tactile reference on reloads.

Fitment & Pricing

This magazine is specifically compatible with the Sig P226 X5, so fitment is straightforward: drop-in compatibility with no gunsmithing required. Priced at $37.99, it represents a practical upgrade for owners who want spare mags built to higher standards without a premium price.

Maintenance and Use Recommendations

Keep the magazine clean and lightly lubricated on the outside; avoid heavy oils inside the body that can attract debris. Periodically inspect the MecGars 2 floor plate and spring for wear, and rotate springs in high-use duty kits. For reliable range and defensive practice, pair this magazine with quality magazines as part of a regular maintenance routine.
