P6 magazines

The current ProMag P225/P6 mag works ok. On the one I have, the follower seems to slightly bind at the top when the mag is empty. I suppose I could sand the sides of the follower a bit, but the mag works without any amateur magazine-smithing by me.

The current mag is a bit different from another ProMag P225 mag I had years ago. On that old, no longer available ProMag mag, I used to get premature slide lock back until I filed down the slide-stop shelf of the follower.

The subject mags are on sale right now at MidwayUSA, btw. Buy them; they work. The only alternative I know of is to buy vintage P225/P6 mags whenever they show up, used, at easily 2x the price.

For range use only, they wouldn't be a problem, just maybe an inconvenience. Pro Mag doesn't have a stellar reputation, so it's use at your own risk. If for nothing else, if EDC is planned, splurge and pay the tariff for a couple higher priced factory Magazines. Wolff makes replacement Magazine Springs, for those Magazines that may be 40+ years old, and fail to lock back the Slide on an empty Magazine.

Thanks folks. I ordered 2 of the Promags. I will also look at getting new springs for the old magazines I have. And yes, once my P6 returns from Robert Burke, it will be my EDC. It feels much better than my P229 Nitron.

I posted the links to some factory magazine auctions in a recent thread. I personally wouldn't use Promag.

I have a P6 and am looking for more magazines. Has anyone had any experience with the ProMag ones that are supposedly for Sig P225/P6? I'd appreciate some opinions please.

They are Garbage regardless of which model. Made out of Discardes tin cans.

Okay folks, I got my P6 back and used the Pro-Mag magazines. One did well and one would always lock up on the last round in chamber. Willard is so right. Definitely range quality but not EDC use. Going to get Wolff springs for my original magazines.
