Magpul’s new AMAG line of magazines retains the reliability that the company is known for, but switches the familiar polymer body with a stainless steel one. Debuting first in the Magpul AMAG lineup is the AMAG 17 SG9 magazine, which is compatible with the SIG Sauer P320/M17 family of pistols.
The Magpul AMAG 17 SG9 is a 17-round SIG 9 mm handgun magazine sporting a stainless-steel body with polymer sub-components.
In addition to the new metal magazine body, Magpul AMAG SIG magazines include a high-visibility, controlled-tilt follower, stainless-steel spring, flared floorplate (easily removable for cleaning and routine maintenance), paint-pen dot matrix for magazine marking, plus capacity-indicator windows beginning at five rounds that continue along the spine of the magazine in one-round increments.
Magpul created this line of magazines from stainless steel instead of polymer because as pistols have gotten slimmer, polymer magazines simply couldn’t fit within the narrower magazine wells and function reliably. Additionally, the stainless-steel magazine body is corrosion-resistant.
More from the company: “Magpul’s AMAG series of magazines are built for guns only compatible with metal magazines due to the strict dimensional limitations imposed by modern pistols’ narrow mag wells, making the use of polymer magazines that maintain our expectations of reliability and durability impossible.”
MSRP for the new Magpul AMAG 17 SG9 metal magazine is $34.95. Learn more at magpul.com.
