Mec-Gar makes a fifteen round magazine for the Hi-Power.

It's not longer than the standard thirteen rounder that was developed for the gun.

The follower is shorter and the spring is designed to nest instead of stack up.

They removed a dimple from the body of the magazine to allow more space at the bottom for the spring.

Two extra rounds, about $2 more and not noticeably heavier; I'm impressed!

The grape-vine has it that Mec-Gar is the maker of current production Browning magazines as well.
