$10 more than the 12 & 15 roundersThey are probably made of Platinum and priced to match.

While all Sig/Sauer stuff seems to be overpriced to me, they have a real monopoly on the P365 series magazines.
I spoke with the MecGar rep about P365 mags at the Harrisburg show on Feb 10 while I was there and he told me that they could not sell the mags themselves like they do for CZ and a dozen others. I was told that they do build mags for Sig, but that Sig owns the tooling and will not allow independent sales.

Interesting on the Mec-Gar mags as I have several for my P229 enhanced that I got from a vendor. They are marked as Mec-Gar mags, not Sig mags, but obviously for Sig. That said, I bought them several years ago when I built that pistol, as they are higher capacity than the std Sig mags were for that particular model.
I believe Sig has essentially told their OEM manufacturers for their newer model magazines (P320, P365, MPX, P322) that they cannot independently sell their magazines. I'm not sure this is a patent licensing limitation or some kind of other negotiated deal, but it's a change from the old P226 days to be sure.
That could very well be.. I'm sure they were biting into the business.

Sig OWNS MecGar's P365 magazine tooling.
Sig mags marked 'Made in Italy' are MecGar. Others are marked 'Made in USA' and are by another manufacturer, can't recall who.

Isn't the claim to fame for the P365 that Sig designed the magazine first and then created a gun to use it? I'd be shocked if they didn't keep that mag close to the vest and charge accordingly.
