Handgun Magazine ID Help?

[Joe_Pike]

A fellow brought this into the shop and didn't know what gun it fit and neither do I. Any help with the ID would be great. Thanks.

What caliber cartridge does it hold?

No markings on it anywhere, but looks like 9mm. The base plate is unique and is what caught my attention.

I can’t tell you what gun it fits, but it appears to the the same basic double stack mag body design used by the Sig P226/P228, Beretta 92-series, Walther P88, P99, and numerous other pistol models.

None of these are interchangeable, but the basic body design is the same, and Mec Gar made OEM and aftermarket mags for a lot of them. Perhaps this is some ban-era limited capacity version?

I have a surplus P226 that came with a standard-capacity OEM SIG “dovetail” mag with a similar chunky rubber baseplate to that one, except it was red. It appeared to be an aftermarket addition.

I’m pretty sure this is not a P226 mag, though. On a second look, I believe it is a magazine for some variant of CZ-75 or CZ-75 clone (of which there are many).

For example, take a look at this photo of a modern Jericho 941 magazine and note the similarities of the follower/feed lips/etc.

Don’t hold me to that, though.

I'm thinking CZ 75 clone too. We need better high res pictures.

Not sure about CZ clones but it’s definitely not the same as my CZ75 SA.

The guy just had it in the shop for a minute and that's the only photo I grabbed. I thought about that after he left.
