Mec-Gar 10-round Witness Mags
Having lived in California for many years, I feel the pain of those who live in restrictive states. Mec-Gar does, too, and it's now offering Large Frame Witness magazines for shooters limited to 10-rounders. These carbon steel mags feature full-size followers, springs and floorplates. Springs are made of Type D music wire, and the baseplates are polymer. And of course they have numbered witness holes. Available in 9mm, .38 Super and 10mm.

To me, these glasses are notable for two things. One, in addition to meeting ANSI highimpact standards, they also meet the higher MIL-PRF 32432 military ballistic protection standard. Two, they're offered in full-size frames and smaller frames for women, youngsters and those of us with small faces. The glasses provide full peripheral eye coverage and have non-slip rubber ear stems. Smoke and amber lenses are rated UV400 for 100 percent protection, and clear lenses boast 99.9 percent UV protection up to 350 nm.
