Para Ordnance P18 or Armscor Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 17 RD .38 Super or 9mm blued Mec-Gar MGP183817B

Para Ordnance P18 17-round .38 Super or 9mm magazine with a blued finish. This magazine is also compatible with the Bul M5 IPSC 9mm (won't insert properly if the pistol has an extended magwell), Rock Island Armory 9mm 1911 A2, and Armscor 9mm 1911 A2 FS PS. I have been told that they will also work in the Bul M5. However, the magazine catch has to be altered, and widened a bit.

Please note these magazines don't have the polymer extended base that comes on the magazines used in the Rock Island Armory 1911 A2 with the magwell. The magwell will interfere with the insertion of these magazines. The OEM factory base pad 54152 will solve that problem.

Note these Para P18 magazines aren't compatible with the Para P18.9 or models with the magwell. The Para Pro Custom 9mm with the magwell takes a different, longer magazine.

The Rock Island Armory .22 TCM originally came with the Mec-Gar P18 magazines, but modifications were made to the feed lips to increase reliability with the .22 TCM. These magazines don't have the modified feed lips. While some have used these magazines with the .22 TCM with no issues, most have had feeding problems. The magazines were made for the 9mm and .38 Super. There is no need for modified feed lips when used with either the 9mm or .38 Super. If used with the .22 TCM, there will likely be feeding problems. Don't expect the magazines to be 100% with the .22 TCM.
