I rfecently obtained a Sig P228. I have been looking for hicap magazines. I can only find references to P228/229 magazines. Are the P229 40 cal mags the same as P228 9MM mags? I have three ProMag hicap magazines with the P228. Anyone have any experience with ProMag?

Glen, the 228 - 9mm are not interchangeable with the 229- .40 magazines. You may interchange between the .40 and the .357 Sig, but alas not with the 9mm. I have never had any luck with ProMags. That's probably why you can buy them cheap. Just my 2 cents.

I just purchased a Sig 228 new. It came with 2 post ban 10 round mags. I am thinking of buying a couple of hi-caps for it. Someone told me about CDNN Investments had some for $80.00 but when I called they said they were out at this time. I will keep looking for a deal.

There always seems to be some on the ar15.com for sale board.

I'm in the same boat - looking for pre-ban mags for my 228. I am considering 226 mags. The 9mm 226 pre-ban mags seem to be readily available. Last I looked CDNN had them in stock for $50. The 226 mag sticks out about 1/2 inch in the 228, but otherwise is supposed to function properly. The 20 round mags for the 226 stick out of that gun, so having a mag that extends below the frame is apparently "normal' for those needing extra capacity.

One thing to be careful of when using magazines longer than the stock ones is you can push them past the mag catch and cause a malfunction. Not a real problem at the range but definitely not good in a gun fight.

Some extended magazines, like most of the 10-round single-stack 1911 mags, have some type of positive stop on the mag or base pad to prevent this.
