The Mec-Gar Glock 17 15-round 9mm magazine (brand part no. MGG171500A) is a steel-tube replacement for the Glock 17 from Mec-Gar, an Italian maker that has built magazines since 1965. A 15-round capacity gives you a dependable spare. The anti-friction coating is there to keep rounds moving freely, and a high-visibility green follower makes it easy to see when the magazine is empty. It is a sound choice for range sessions, training classes and everyday carry.
