sig p220 mags

in need of some extra sig p220 mags.
i see the following two sites offer them:
topgunsupply.com 40.00
pro-mag 26.00
topgunsupply version looks like a sig manufactured mag, pricey though.
anyone got a review on the pro-mag version? that price is much easier on my wallet if they function well in a sig p220.

If so, then $14 difference is insignificant, is it not?
ProMag's quality has come up in recent years, but for $14, I believe I would buy the SIG/Sauer mag, probably made by MecGar.
I've found that fleabay, (don't laugh),( under 10 rounds only), and CDNN are among the best sources. You got to be sharp though. Some of the folks on the auctions are outright fibbers. They try to pass off Triple K's, as factory originals.
I do describe my stuff accurately. If it is factory, I state so. If I know the manufacturer, I state so. If not, I call it a generic replacement.
Most semi's malfunction due to magazine issues, so I recommend getting the Sig mags. Nothing against Pro-Mag, and sometimes the OEM mag is not as good as aftermarket, but in this case I'd go with the Sig.
Best of luck in whatever choice you make.
Do you carry this gun for self-defense?

What Nunn said.
They may work OK, but for a few bucks difference, I wouldn't buy Promag (let alone triple K).
$40, by the way, is a perfectly good price for a factory SIG magazine; normally these run $45.
Also, FWIW, here are OEM 8 and 10 rounders for $34. Once you add in shipping and maybe taxes, you'll probably be close to $40, but if you buy a few at once, you can probably average under $40 for them:

TopGun is right down the street from me and they only sell top-of-the-line items and are the top "Sig" seller/parts house IMO.

yes, i do carry. wanting a few more mags for go bags i've put together in home and vehicle.
i looked at mec-gar's site and they don't make a sig p220 mag. well, i should say that's what i thought i viewed.
guess i needed reminding saving a few bucks on such a weapon not the best idea as this particular p220 is picky. treated well, its flawless though.
thx

appreciate the feedback about pro-mag. i've bought a few in past for a .380. they're decent but one can tell really quick not like the originals.
thanks for the links, i'll try a few from there. i'm going with topgunsupply too via the overwhelming advice to get the Sigs.

i just ordered from topgunsupply and saw at the bottom of the page:
"Magazines for many models from the older Browning BDA to the current production SIG SAUER P220. All of our SIG magazines are direct from the factory in Exeter, NH unless clearly specified otherwise. The exceptions are Act-Mag and Mec-Gar. Mec-Gar is the current Original Equipment Manufacturer for most Sig Sauer production magazines. J.P. Sauer & Sohn does still produce the magazines marked as "made in Germany"."
though it states its manufacturer is Sig Sauer. hoping thats what arrives.

ammunitiondepot was less expensive in cost but more in shipping but total cost was less. both sites claim these are made by sig.
i'll try em out soon.
