Mec-Gar Optimum 20-Round Steel Anti-Friction Magazine with DPS Base Pad for Taurus PT92/PT99 9mm Luger - Black

The Mec-Gar Optimum 20-round magazine for Taurus PT92 and PT99 9mm pistols is built for shooters who demand reliability, whether at the range, in competition, or in a defensive carry setup. This steel magazine combines Mec-Gar's reputation for quality with anti-friction coating that reduces loading effort and resists corrosion—two things that matter when your magazine sees real use. The 20-round capacity gives you substantial firepower in a package that feeds reliably when it counts.

The standout feature here is the drop protection system (DPS) base pad, designed to absorb shock when magazines hit hard surfaces—a practical consideration if you're running drills, competing, or training hard. That polymer floorplate also sits lower in competition ammo boxes than some expanded-capacity alternatives, a small detail that makes a difference when you're prepping gear. Inside, the follower is high-impact polymer, the tube is heat-treated carbon steel, and the spring is high-tensile music wire. These materials are chosen to work together reliably over time, not just once or twice.

If you run a PT92 or PT99 and want the capacity and durability that come with a purpose-built magazine, this Mec-Gar Optimum is worth the investment. It's the kind of accessory that disappears into your workflow because it simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Mec-Gar magazine work in my Taurus PT92 or PT99?

Yes. This magazine is designed specifically for the Taurus PT92 and PT99 in 9mm Luger. It will not fit other firearms.

What does the drop protection system (DPS) base pad do?

The DPS polymer floorplate is engineered to absorb shock and reduce damage when the magazine is dropped on hard surfaces. This is especially useful during training, competition, or field use where magazines may take impacts.

Is the anti-friction coating going to wear off?

The anti-friction coating is integral to the magazine's design and reduces both loading resistance and corrosion. Mec-Gar magazines are known for durability, but like all wear items, the coating may diminish slightly over extended use.

Does this magazine fit in standard competition ammo boxes?

Yes. The low-profile floorplate design is intended to fit more easily into competition boxes compared to some other expanded-capacity magazines.
