Materials and Durability

The heat-treated blued steel body provides the rigidity and wear resistance shooters expect from a military-style magazine. Heat treatment improves spring life and body straightness under repeated loading cycles, reducing feed lip deformation. The follower lockplate and baseplate use a DuPont Zytel based black polymer molded to precise tolerances—this polymer resists impact, chemicals, and environmental wear while offering a lighter overall package.

Why steel and polymer together?

Combining a steel magazine body with polymer components delivers the best of both worlds: the steel maintains structural integrity and alignment, while polymer parts absorb shock and reduce metal-on-metal contact that can accelerate wear. For HiPowerP35 9mm owners, that means reliable feeding and longer service intervals.

Function, Fit and Tactical Use

The 13-round capacity suits the HiPowerP35 platform’s original design and is practical for range, personal defense, and competition where magazine compatibility matters. Promag, the brand behind this model, offers aftermarket solutions with a reputation for fit across various model variants—listed here as Various—which helps when sourcing replacements for older pistols. For those prioritizing dependable feeding during high-round-count sessions, this magazine is a cost-effective option.

Maintenance is straightforward: keep the spring lightly lubricated, inspect the polymer follower and baseplate for cracks, and verify feed lip condition on the steel body. Regular checks prevent common malfunctions and ensure consistent duty-ready performance.

For Browning Hi-Power owners seeking an affordable, durable replacement magazine with a proven material blend, this 13rd Promag option at $19.99 is a practical pick. Check availability
