Magazine Question
I had a friend who passed away in October of 2011. His widow recently called me and asked if I would come and get his firearms as she didn't want them around and she knew of two that he had that she could no longer find. She is suspicious of a handyman who had been working in her house.
One of them is a 7.62x25 pistol. At first I thought it was a Tokarov (sp?) but now I don't know. It looks identical to one, but I have yet to find a manufacturers name on it. On the top of the slide, it has a chinese marking on it. On the left rear side of the slide, it has a serial number followed by "1967".
The gun is in excellent condition but does not have a magazine. Other than finding someone locally (rural Arkansas) to help me, how can I tell exactly what this gun is and what magazine I need to find?
Any info very much appreciated.

Hey guys I have a couple of quick questions, I found 3 of the 14 round MecGar Sig 229 .40 S&W magazines. Before I buy them I just wanted to get a little input, are MecGar magazines pretty high quality? and just as reliable as the factory mags? I know there are good aftermarket magazine manufactures but there are also horrible ones like ProMag so I just wanted to check with you guys before I spend over $100 on these mags. As always I really appreciate any and all of your input and suggestions! 0 -
I like the MecGar mags, I've used them for many years, I use to shoot IPSC many years ago and used those mags for my Sig 226. I shot in the stock category and the mag couldn't extend from the gun, had to be flush, loved the 18 rounders! I never had an issue with them, and still shoot them to this day!
I also have a couple for my Sig 229 in 40S&W.0 -

Yes. MecGar magazines are good.

I don't know who makes the SIG magazines, but for many gun makers, the factory magazines ARE made by Mec-Gar, including CZ, Beretta, and others.

Pro-mag. . .hit or miss.
Mec-Gar. . .typically excellent.0 -
My personal experiences with the MecGar magazines been top-end, never any problems of any sort wtih feed, function or wear vs. tear.
Feedback from others has been great also.
( My purchases and sales of them were years back though - as mine seem to weather and last well enough. [;)] )0 -
mecgar is an OEM for most of the major companys 0 -
I use MecGars in my P-229 and they work flawlessly with both .40 S&W and .357 Sig. 0 -
They are great mags. Up until a little while ago they were the OEM for Sig. I have a bunch for different pistols and have never had an issue with them. 0
