    Unknown magazine..

    Can someone help ID this mag? Caliber seems .32 ACP, .380 ACP, 9 Makarov maybe..

    Fits a CZ 83 but does not lock.. no markings whatsoever.

    Thanks for your help gents!

    Added: it's not a Taurus, or Beretta mag

    Hard to say, but if it fits that CZ83- cut a magazine catch notch in it and call it a spare.

    It's a double stack, so not a Makarov. The blue follower has me stumped.

    There were some double stack Makarov's that had a heel-clip mag catch. Maybe this fits those?

    The centered mag catch has me thinking H&K P7 for some reason. It has been so long since I had a P7 in my hands I can't really remember what the magazines looked like. It is highly possible for this guess to be wrong.

    Any other pistols that use a center catch for the magazine?

    All H K mags are marked. It doesn't look like an H K to me.

    The notch in the front does look like a locking notch. The drag marks from it to the top of the mag. look like it.

    Looks like a Ruger magazine they lock up like what is pictured.
