Question about Sig Mags

[Nucking Futs]

I have a Sig 229 E2 9mm 15 rnd, I want to get some mags... I see alot of websites selling the E2 model, 15 rnd, is this the only mag that will fit and function in the gun?

My mags say 229-1 on them. My gun box says E29R-9

Will the older 13 or 15 rounders fit and function or do I have to buy specifically the E2 marked mags? What about the Mec-Gar mags? Or is it that the E2 marked mags wont work with the older style sigs?

Wondering if this will fit? http://www.44mag.com/product/sig_p_2...y_magazine/sig

Or this? http://www.44mag.com/product/sig_228_magazine/sig

The old mags will fit in the new frame however function might not be 100%. They fit just a bit loose. I wouldn't trust them for defensive purposes but for range uses I'd say go for it if you find them cheap.
The new mags, 229-1, will not fit in older Sigs. The E2 frames are all .40 cal size whereas the older 9mm frame were thinner.
I don't know about off brands.

For new mags check out top gun supply. They had 229-1 mags cheaper than most sites.

PS I regret selling mine but I wanted a 1911 more...
PSS Good luck on finding a holster...

The blackhawk SERPA 228/229 model fits my 229 E2 just fine.

Does it have a lot of front to back movement?
Mine did. It held it secure but it just rattled too much for my liking.

Not really, not any more than my G23 fits into my G23 blackhawk holster...

I am really on the fence with these mags... I found 13 rounders from 44MAG, they are the older style. They are so cheap it is hard to pass up on them for range mags, but I also want something to rotate my carry mags out with.

I guess I will just have to wait on the marked E2 15 rnd mags to be certain.

I ordered from Rockwell Arms, they had free shipping anything over $50, each mag was 40 even. With the free shipping it beat top guns $33.95 plus shipping.
