Sig magazine question.

[Gmercury2000]

Just curious, are the mags interchangeable on the 226 and 229? I put the papers in on a 226 today and got a 229 magazine a while back and have no other use for. Same caliber. I was originally going to get a 229 but the deal I go on the 226 just couldn't pass up. Thanks!

Your 229 magazine will not fit in a 226 because it is too short and also too fat if it is a 229-1 magazine variant.

Thanks, I figured that. I found the mag while cleaning out a house a couple years back.

However a 226 magazine will fit in a 229 in a pinch. If your 226 is delivered without mags. check out Greg Cote LLC. He has some great prices on Mec gar mags for SIGs and super fast shipping.

Thanks for the lead, luckily it comes with 3 mags. Ffl blocked them to 10 rounds. But naturally 3 is never enough. Lol

You can also legally take the blocked mags out of state and unblock them.

Those are some great prices, how is the shipping?

I don't yet have my 226 legion, but the extra Mecgar 10 round mags that I bought seem very nice quality. I can let you know how they work in the next couple of weeks once I get the gun and head to the range.

I have a mecgar 20 rounder for my m9 and works great. Next time I'm out of this state I'll look out for some standard cap mags for it along with taking my blocked ones and clean them

Mec Gar makes Sig's 226 mags so they are almost exactly the same as your Sig mags

i just had an order cancelled for having a MD billing address

Even for 10 rounders? Good to know!

I tried to order some from Greg Cote and he canceled my order due to my billing address being in MD even though they were shipping to DE.

Just another example of a company not willing to take the time to understand the laws.

I think if you're ordering 10rounders you should be good to go still. I was having normal capacity mags shipped to VA. This is what they said in the email;

The comments for your order are:
Hi,

Sorry I can't fill this order, see below.

Maryland: No magazine above 10 rounds or no magazine above 10 rounds to anyone using a billing address in the state of MD.

Thanks,

Greg

Greg Cote use to ship them.

I recently tried to place an order and have them shipped to SC. But his reply to me was a little more detailed. It said under advice from a lawyer, he can't ship an order with a MD billing address. So somewhere along the line something made him change policy.

But he is fast on shipping if you can place an order. I had stuff order and got an email with shipping within like 5 hours.

I own multipe Sig's. The easiest way I have found to get OEM mags or the Mec-Gar mags is to go to the Nations Gun Show in Chantilly, VA. There are several vendors there who sell what you likely want. Some are used, some are new in the box. There is one vendor who has W. German police surplus. IMO, Mec-Gar are well worth it and are sometimes less expensive than the stuff that comes in the Sig packaging. I've had multiple Sig OEM mags fail on me. I think these are the Checkmate ones because they don't say made in Italy. Hasn't happend yet with the Mec-Gar's. Anyway,s just a suggestion to get around the stupid law.

I have a credit card with DE billing address for this exact reason. Statements come via email problem solved!

Or change your billing address for a few days
