Troubles with 522 magazines

[9mmlaw]

Anyone have problems buying extra magazines for their 522. I bought from both Midway and 44mag and the mags were too tight nor could the magazines be taken apart and sanded down to make them thinner. The screws did not have any type of head on them.

I have now ordered directly from Black Dog and hopefully that solves the problem. Sig wanted an outrageous $14 to ship a $26 magazine.

Anyone else having problems.

I have 2 from Black Dog and they fit and work great. Zero problems

what mags did you buy from midway and 44mag? BDM mags too? the sig mags are just re-branded Black Dog mags. I use black dogs and have no problems as well

GO BRUINS!

My stock one was tight the Black Dogs magazines were fine.
I took the stock one apart and sanded down one side without the nibs.
Put it back together and now fits fine.

The Black Dogs did not work. They were the ones that were too tight. Hopefully the ones straight from Black Dog will work out.

Same here--NEVER any mag problems,coming or going, or using ANY type
of ammo. SIG 522 is IT! Pete

I read somewhere that the early sig branded blackdog mags had some sizing issues. I confirmed this when I purchased one from a local vendor in the OC. I took it back and swaped it for a blackdog branded mag and had no problems after that.

the mags on mine (stock sig and one black dog from Midway) both needed to be taken apart and sanded. They are held together by very small torx screws. Are you sure you looked at the heads closely?

I have 6 Black Dog mags and 2 CMMG mags with no problems. I did need to cut the extra tab off the follower on some of the BDM ones as they would stick when they were fully loaded. I just snipped em off with scissors.

Under a magnifying glass. New ones came in today and I hope those work, if not I will look again but thanks for the heads up that they are torx head.
