Mec-Gar 17rd .38 Super Magazine for Para Ordnance P-18, Blued Finish

The Mec-Gar 17rd .38 Super magazine for Para Ordnance P-18 is a purpose-built replacement or backup mag engineered to reliable feeding in double-stack platforms that demand precision. If you're running a Para Ordnance P-18 or compatible Rock Island Armscor double-stack, you already know that magazine quality directly impacts how your gun performs on the range or in the field—and Mec-Gar has been the trusted OEM supplier to major pistol manufacturers for decades. This 17-round magazine delivers the capacity shooters want without the bulk or unreliability of aftermarket compromises.

Built with a heat-treated carbon steel tube and high-tensile music wire spring, this magazine is designed to withstand repeated loading cycles and maintain consistent feed pressure. The polymer follower keeps rounds properly aligned as they strip into the chamber, while the metal floorplate seats flush against your pistol for a clean, professional appearance. The blued finish matches the aesthetic of classic steel-framed pistols and resists corrosion in typical storage and use conditions.

Whether you're stocking spares for competition, keeping backups for serious carry, or simply want factory-level reliability without the factory price tag, a Mec-Gar magazine is a smart, low-cost insurance policy. These mags are cycled by gunsmiths, trusted by competitive shooters, and proven over thousands of rounds.
