Mec-Gar is now the OEM supplier of Tanfoglio magazines, and these are Mec-Gar's aftermarket version of the factory magazines they now make.
A customer told me he has a problem with them in a Springfield P9 .40 S&W. It might not be compatible in the Springfield P9 or Springfield Armory Model P9 Ultra IPSC.
How to determine if you need the Witness Large Frame or Small Frame magazines:
Before 2005 the EAA Witness was produced in both small-frame and large-frame configurations, depending on the caliber and frame material. The Witness Classics and EAA Witness pistols made before 2005 in either 9mm or .40 S&W take small frame magazines. The .38 Super, .45 ACP and 10mm models are all considered large-frame pistols. Witness P in full size, Witness Steel, Elite and the Xtreme line models made after 2005 take large frame magazines. However, the EAA Witness P-S (small frame polymer) uses the small frame magazines. The small frame magazines are approximately 0.796” thick (side to side) and 1.25 long (front to back). The large frame magazines are approximately .843” thick (side to side) and 1.369 long (front to back). The large frame 9mm magazines have grooves down the sides of the magazine tube, and the small frame 9mm magazines are smooth on the sides. The EAA Witness 9mm small frame magazines used to hold 16 rounds now both the EAA Witness 9mm small frame and large frame magazines hold 17 rounds. Neither the large nor small frame .40 S&W magazine tubes have grooves on the sides of the magazine tubes. The small frame EAA Witness .40 S&W magazines hold 12 rounds and the EAA Witness .40 S&W large frame magazines hold 14 rounds.
Small Frames include all Witness PS, Witness Classics, and firearms produced in 9mm or 40 S&W before the year 2005.
