Anyone ever seen mags like these...





They are Sig226 high-caps, but have a whole section on one side slotted out.  They look factory, but  not sure how usefull it is for field use.... having a big ass whole on the side let's all kind of stuff into the mags.

No but I agree with your sentinents entirely... It is one thing to have those round-indicative "pin-holes" drilled into PISTOL mags, but having a gaping hole where twigs, pocket lint, tobacco crumbs, etc can enter & clog the works is an entirely different matter.

Both my 228s came with them. When I got my first one I was told they were factory mags but thought they might have been switched with aftermarket mags. After I got my second 228 I figured since I got it from a diffrent dealer and got the same mags I knew they must be factory. I use em for range only mags because I dont like the big slots either. One thing about em though. Both my sigs will not drop the older style mags when empty but will drop these free when empty. Kinda like the DF and NDF Glock mags.

You guys worry too much.  If the mag stays in the pistol (where it is closed) nothing is getting in.  Remember the Russian PM (Makarov) are totally open on both sides.  I however have never seen a SIG mag like that.

I've had enough crap jam into my .22 pistol mags to know that a big hole in the side of the mag isn't good.

Well, they're OEm factory mags for the 226.  It's marked Sig226 9mm on one side of the mag with a slotted hole on the other.  It comes wrapped in their SIG/Hammerli bags with 'Made in Germany' all over the bag.

I got these about 15 years ago... direct from SIG, when they were $18 each

Mine are slotted on both sides and do not have sig anywhere on em but otherwise look like yours.
