20 Round for 229?

[JackImpact]

will a 226 20 round magazine in 9mm work in a 229? I realize it wont be flush and stick out, but will it stay in and feed properly?

If so, where do you buy your 20 round mags?

[sfinney]

I have a couple ProMag cheapo mags that hold 20 or so, and stick out the bottom.

But of course for Production Division you are restricted to no more than 10 rounds in your mags, so the 20 rounders would be for plinking I guess?

I don't know about 20 rd. mags but I have 14 (Sig) and 12 (aftermarket) rd mags in my collection that are for my P229 Sport. These are 40S&W/357Sig mags.

I know that a 228 and 229 mag are different. The 228 will work ? but is a loose fit in the mag well. I would expect the same issue with an extended mag

The 228 and 229 magazines are the same for 9mm. If you have a 40/357 229, the 9mm 228/9 mags will fit loosely in the well as it is a slightly wider frame.

I have a bunch of P226 mags with +2base pads making 15+1 in .40. I tried them out in my P228 the day I got it, and they'll feed 20rds of 9mm reliably. I've shot 3 club matches without any feed problems.

Hope that helps

Greetings...I build a base pad for the P226 that will also fit the 9mm P229...you should easily get 20 in the mag

please feel free to contact me for more info

thanks
