A Mec-Gar product name gives the pistol model, calibre, capacity and version. For example, Mec-Gar CZ 75/Shadow 2 9mm 17rd AFC is a 17-round AFC-coated magazine for full-size CZ 75 and Shadow 2 pistols.
AFC
Anti-Friction Coating: a low-friction, corrosion-resistant finish that makes loading easier and feeding more reliable.
Competition
A magazine built for competition, usually with an extended base and higher capacity.
126 mm / 140 mm
Overall magazine length. 140 mm magazines are sized to the magazine length limit of IPSC divisions.
18+2 / Plus 1 / Plus 2
An extended base or base pad kit that adds one or two rounds.

FAQ
Yes, when the magazine is made for your pistol model. Mec-Gar also makes original magazines for firearm manufacturers, and its aftermarket magazines are built to the same dimensions. Check the exact model and grip size: for example, a Glock 17 magazine fits a Glock 19 and protrudes from the grip, but a short Glock 19 magazine does not fit a Glock 17.
AFC (Anti-Friction Coating) is Mec-Gar's own finish that reduces friction between the cartridges and the magazine body. The magazine is easier to load and unload, and feeding is more reliable. The coating also protects against corrosion.
Rules on magazine capacity and ownership vary by country. An extended base or Plus base pad can raise a magazine's capacity, so check your national regulations before fitting one.
A Plus kit replaces the magazine base plate with a longer base and adds one (Plus 1) or two (Plus 2) rounds. Each kit is made for a specific magazine model, so check compatibility on the product page.
