QUALITY.
Most manufacturers use Mec-Gar mags in they're firearms for a Reason and I'd say the Quality is the main one. These mags fit my 229 same as the ones that came with it because they were made by Mec-Gar also.

Only holds 17 rounds and
Only holds 17 rounds and not the advertised 18. Don't know what the 3 round extension is that they're talking about. I had the same problem with two .380 mags that I bought at the same time. They claim a capacity of 10 but only holds 9... Sending them all back and not making any more purchases from this site.

I bought one of these thinking it's always nice to have more rounds on hand. I bought one to try out hoping it wouldn't perform like ProMags (awful experience with ProMags). I was very surprised this magazine worked flawlessly. I have an old P228 which came with 10 round magazines from the factory so jumping from 10 to 12 to 18 rounds was a nice change! The magazines also fit well in the gun itself, a little longer than factory mags but look like they were standard magazines.

I bought 2 of these last month at the Pro Shop at Sig Sauer Academy. I paid $49.99 each. These are a bargain. I use them in my P229 Enhanced Elite. I've never had a problem with them.

Mec-gar makes quality mag
Mec-gar makes quality mags for dang near everybody. Having 'Mec-gar' on the mag instead of 'sig sauer' saved me $25 per mag.

Mec-Gar is the original m
Mec-Gar is the original manufacturer for Sig Sauer, Browning and others. When you buy a factory mag for these pistols, are Mec-Gar built. The only difference is the price which usually runs $20.00 or more for the factory. The brand stamping is the same most of the times.These mags are built to last a lifetime, great metal finish, spring and follower are faultless. I have purchased 10 of these Sugs and about another 30 or 40 combined between Browning, Colt 1911A, Ruger and Glocks.Best value for the money and CTD prices them affordably.

How do I know if my p229 is an E2 model?
Answer:
This magazine fits P229 magazines that were made prior to 2010. If your factory magazine says '229-1' or you know that your firearm is older than 2010, than you need 228 mags.
