BHP mags

[Bill DeShivs]

I find myself in need of a couple of standard Browning High Power magazines. Who has them at a decent price?
BTW- I disassembled a Ram Line (I think) BHP mag for cleaning, and was amazed to find that it is powered by an expansion-type coil spring mounted inside the follower!

This coiled type springs make easier to load the magazine, but do not have as long life span as the magazines with conventional sprung magazines, and sometimes causing feeding problems.

If you want magazines which are exactly matching the OEM quality with reasonable prices, I advice you to go with the Mac-Gar who also supplies the OEM magazines to many manufacturers including the FNH.

Regards.

I sure like the MecGar 15 round mags. They fit flush and are top quality. Midway seems to have the best prices for them. If you are looking at auction sites or gun shows for factory mags, study up here:

I just ordered two of these.

Browning HiPower 9mm 13rd Mag w/Spring Release New Factory.

For carry I use nothing but factory.

Mec-Gar magazines are the best imo. And the factory magazines of course, but I think they are made by Mec-Gar too, so buy them where they are the least expensive.

I have 20 Mecgars for my Hi-Power, some of them are 10 years old, never a problem.

BHP magazine springs.

If anyone is interested, ISMI chrome silicone magazine springs for the M-9 magazine work just dandy in 13-15 Mec-Gar mags.

Don't know about any other mags.

Replaced the mag springs on a couple of older magazines that I had marked 'range use only' with the ISMI M-9 springs and, so far, operation has been flawless.

Those two mags just weren't up to the task of moving the ammo stack up fast enough to keep up with slide velocity.

Hopefully, I won't have to segregate my BHP mags into 'range' and 'carry' anymore.

The ISMI M-9 springs take a bit more effort to load a full ammo stack. Your mileage and mags may vary, but I like the replacement ISMI M-9 springs in a weakened Mec-Gar BHP mag.

We'll see.

Another vote for Mecgars. Normally pay about $20 pop. I used them in my BHP, Sigs and Beretteas
