Founded in Brescia, Italy, in 1965, Mec-Gar SRL emerged as a leading producer of OEM and aftermarket magazines for many popular handguns. After developing innovative solutions in magazine design, engineering and production, the company recognized a growing need for aftermarket magazines in the United States. Mec-Gar USA opened its doors on April 20, 1992, becoming the sole importer and distributor for Mec-Gar’s products in the U.S. Today, Mec-Gar USA is still a privately held, family-owned business supplying quality magazines to domestic handgun manufacturers, military units, law-enforcement departments and even the U.S. Secret Service. mec-gar.com
