Help me identify this strange magazine - pistol caliber

I have a long stick handgun caliber magazine, like a 30 round Uzi magazine.

But instead of exactly rectangle, it is more wedgelike, wider in the back.

Appears to be .40 caliber. 12" length.

What does it go to?

I don't know. But I'll hazard a guess based on your guess.
Wedge-like in a possible 40 caliber? How about a 357 Sig?
 
Double stack, double feed? I'm not aware of any handguns using a mag like that, so a SMG, or a pistol-caliber conversion?
 
It's double stack. Must be for a carbine.

The only release lever notch is in the back, so I'm thinking it must go to something with a rear release similar to an AK47.

This is very puzzling!
 
Definitely not m10. Also, macs usually have a stop tab to prevent the mag from being jammed up to far into the action. Not saying it ISN'T m11, but I'd have to see a side-by-side comparison first.

Is it zytel? I suspect a ghetto blaster, like a tec. Possibly m11 380 too.

Good luck, very interesting.
 
What rounds fit in it properly?

Are you sure its not for a tec 9? The mags have the triangular shape like the tec 9 mag well. At the shop I worked at for a while we had a mag that had the same follower and shape and ended up going to a tec 9.
 
I think I got it in a large lot that I purchased, thinking it was an Uzi mag.

I have not put it in a Tec 9, but I have examined it against picturse of a Tec 9 and the fittings do not appear to be the same.
 
It would have to be a double-stack mag for something like a TEC-9 or MAC-11 (9mm or 380), but the only way to know for sure is to actually try it in each of those; this appears to be an aftermarket magazine, so it will look different than the standard mag for those designs.
