Where did you get that info, that Mec-Gar is the OEM of magazines for major brands of gun makers like the ones you mentioned? It got me curious; so, I went to their site and read the OEM Manufactruing page, the About page and some others and nowhere did I notice them claiming to be the OEM of magazines for other companies like Beretta. As a matter of fact, when I looked at their magazines for the Beretta 92FS it seems they make at least one proprietary magazine for the 92FS; and all of their magazines are marked with the Mec-Gar trademark. I could not find anything on their magazine pages either that said Mec-Gar produces OEM mags for Beretta. Maybe I did not look in the right places or maybe they just do not advertise that fact.
If I were to discover that Mec-Gar is the actual manufacturer of mags for companies like Beretta, then the next time I need mags I may go with them if - as I suspect - the Mec-Gar brand magazines would be less expensive than the gun maker brand-name magazines. Not about to do that though until I see some real evidence of it from either Mec-Gar or one of the gun makers.
Do you have verifiable proof showing that Mec-Gar manufactures Beretta magazines that come with the guns as they come from Beretta? If you have such, then the email Beretta sent to me, saying they make all of their own magazines, is not the truth! If so, please provide it because I would like to confront Beretta with it if indeed what they told me about who manufactures their magazines is not factual.Many gun companies won't tell you that Mec-Gar makes the mags. They would rather you buy them from the company and let them make the money. I know that many Beretta mags are made my Mec-Gar and marked Beretta.
As for tripple k (what a name...), i wanted a few more magazines for my H&R leatherneck .22, and happened across one at a going out of business sale at an LGS.
It didn't work at all, at least i was only out $5

Glenn,
We haven’t manufactured magazines for Beretta in a number of year. We do manufacture for Sig and we are their primary supplier for many magazines, but they have multiple suppliers for every part on their guns.
