9mm - .40S&W Mags. Interchangeable???

WeislogelR
I recently ordered 2 "Factory Beretta" mags. on this website.
I clearly specified 9mm .n my e-mail and on paper went with payment

They arrived in todays mail and are stamped .40 S&W.

Seem to fit into the pistol OK, but I am skeptical.
Should I demand a refund/exchange???

Thanks

    FWIW, I have had a model 92 (9mm) and one model 96 (.40). I have used both kinds of clips in both guns. I would strongly recomend looking on the beretta owners forum www.berettaforum.net. I seem to remember this topic being discussed at length there recently.

    At the moment a "hot" practice is to use 40 mags for 9mm to be able to cram in more rounds. Generally the mag. needs a little tweeking to get over some feed issues.

    So for the sake of your question say you go w/ the 40 and with a little putzing you manage to get it to feed and you can then carry 2 extra rounds ... then you need the gun (as in NEED IT!) you fire 1 round and it mis-feeds ... your 12 shot special just became a single shot .......[:(]

    Return the mags for the proper ones, or don't even tink of using those mags for anything but "plinkin".

    I have several mags that are stamped 9/40. I found that you need to "play" with the lips of the mags to get the 9's to work properly. A little tweaking and they are ok, but as contenderman said, buy a nice specific 9mm mag for carry, they make them.

    If they are factory mags they will work fine. The lips on the Beretta mags appear to be the same. I have used them interchangably in my 9mm and 40 Beretta pistols. The 10 round 40 will hold 14 rounds of 9mm. You just got bargin high caps.

    I've never had to tweak factory mags, or Mec-gar ones either. The generic ones, though, would only take what they were rated for. Don't get the super-cheap "Eagle" brand, they are crap. I have an old Ramline one that takes 18 9mm's but won't feed .40's. None of this advise should be used for any other pistols but Beretta 92/96's. I always use factory mags for CCW.
