Bought a new SIG? What mags does it come with?

[_TomT_]

Recently purchased a Mk.25 and to my dissappointment they came with Checkmate magazines which are known to cause FTF and the slide not locking back after the last round. Anyone here have a similar experience with their newly purchase SIG? For anyone who doesn't know what magazine you got the ones that say Made in USA are made by Checkmade, while if it says Made in Italy those are made by MecGar.

I purchased 2 229s and they both came with MecGar mags.

I bought a Mec Gar for my older p226 at CDNN sports, for $22.99 I like it, half price of the Sig ones.

CheaperThanDirt has some for $19 as well. That being said for the price that MecGars sell their mags I don't understand how Sig felt they needed to cut corners for an extra $3-6 profit. Especially when people are having problems with the Checkmate mags.

EDIT: wait nevermind, Checkmate mags actually cost MORE than MecGar in most online outlets. Now I'm confused...

Ron Cohen formerly General Manager of Kimber is now CEO of Sig.

I bought a 229 this past summer and received two MecGars. The two mags I received from the Sig promotion were also both MecGars

Bought another Sig 226 Combat last month and received two Checkmate (Made in USA) :-(

My MK25 came with the Checkmates, and have run flawlessly. I was pissed when I saw them in my case (because of the bad press,) but I trust them now. That being said, I still prefer the MecGar just for piece of mind. AS far as I know, the USA mags are now CM.

Most recent Sig I picked up was a P227 Tacops that came with 4 Mec Gar magazines.

my 229 came with mecgar. my 226 came with checkmates.. both run fine for me so far. but I know the mecgars are heavily reviewed on here as better.

fyi greg cote llc has mecgar mags for like 21 bucks each.

Ahh thank you guys, you really put my mind at ease. But just in case I will purchase some MecGars from CTD's Blackfriday sale.

Every time I see the word Sig now, i automatically assume it's about the sig brace lol

I have both and no problem so far.

Not sure why people or the OP are calling Checkmate crap. They make some of the best 1911 mags. I sold my Wilson's in favor of the Checkmates.
