[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3339731, member: 44328"] I'm far from a Sig expert, but I did do a little research into this a couple of months ago when I bought an LEO trade in P229. I believe Mec-Gar makes the magazines that come with new Sigs, so Sig or Mec-Gar brand are essentially same quality, different name. Best I remember, they made some change in the design that resulted in the magazines being a slightly different width. So some magazines won't fit in some of the P226, others will fit and work but there is a little rattle from a smaller mag in a larger well. Without researching it again, I would say your friend's 18 round Mec-Gar magazines are too wide to fit in the older Sig frame. In any case, I don't think the issue will be Mec-Gar quality, just a question of whether it fits your gun. If they're loose, they may still work fine... if they're too wide, well... at least you know you have a generous friend. :) Hopefully someone more familiar with Sigs will come along and correct my faulty memory, or fill in some details.
