Just so you guys know. CDNN has the 16rd mags in stock again for CHEAP. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/smwesw9mm16l1.html
Good price but what does "demo/like new" mean? Any idea of how these were stored or how many rounds went through them?Just so you guys know. CDNN has the 16rd mags in stock again for CHEAP. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/smwesw9mm16l1.html
Not long after I got my P99, I ordered a "demo/like new" 12-round S&W-marked 40S&W magazine from CDNN. The mag functioned fine, but it didn't look anywhere near "demo/like new," as the bluing on the mag tube had dull splotches all over it and the plastic baseplate was severely scratched.Good price but what does "demo/like new" mean?

Luck of the draw, I suppose.uh oh.maybe not such a great deal?
Those are the Walther P99 15-round mags not the 16-round for $30 at Midway. The 16-round for the S&W 99 is on back order and Midway's price is $38. $30 for the 15-round is a good price and if you can't take care of business with 15-rounds, you don't need a higher capacity mag, you need air support.I just bought a couple from midway. They are 30 bucks each there.
The 16-rounder sold by Midway is the S&W OEM mag NOT a MecGar. As for its dimensions vice the 15 round, someone else will have to chime in. All my mags are 15-round.Three questions:
Are the SW99 magazines Mec-Gar?
What is the external difference, if any, between the 16-shot S&W and the 15-shot Walther?
Are they interchangeable?
Thanks, M
'Wouldn't surprise me and come to think of it you could be right. I'll have to check the stamping on the newest S&W mag I bought. MecGar makes mags for most guns and their quality vs. ProMag (junk) is excellent. I would have no problems buying a MecGar mag, regardless of gun model.Aren't the S&W ones still made by MecGar?
Oops, I missed the "16 rnd" in the first post. Well, anyway, I just ordered some yesterday, actually, and they are scheduled for delivery tomorrow.Those are the Walther P99 15-round mags not the 16-round for $30 at Midway. The 16-round for the S&W 99 is on back order and Midway's price is $38. $30 for the 15-round is a good price and if you can't take care of business with 15-rounds, you don't need a higher capacity mag, you need air support.
I will take a picture of it tonightGoyko: Thank you for the detailed examination. It does explain how S&W got an extra cartridge into it. I've never seen such a spring as you describe. Does it appear that the smaller coils are intended to nest within the larger ones when the spring is fully compressed?

Thanks, but I have no need for one. I never load double-column mags to full capacity anyway.The guy at cdnn I talked to said that they have 50 more in stock. If you want one I would move on it now.
