Jamsandwich Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 Hey guys, Hoping one of you experts can help me out with a query. I've got a WE F229 and I'm struggling to find a spare mag specific to this model in stock. I'm guessing that it should be interchangeable with similar models, but want to check in here before I buy. Is the F229 compatible with 226 mags? How about manufacturer differences?
Krisz Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 WE is a Marui clone manufacturer (with some exceptions) so I wouldn't be suprised if Marui P226 magazines would fit yours. You have to buy one to find it out. ? Jamsandwich 1
Nick G Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 Given that the 229 is basically just a stubby 226 I would imagine that WE 226 mags would fit fine Jamsandwich 1
The_Lord_Poncho Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 All I can tell you is that when I purchased mags a few years back for my We F228 ( i.e. the non railed version of the F229), the mags I bought were specifically marketed as being f228/f229 mags. Which leads me to think that potentially a 226 mag may not be compatible. But that said, I didn't think that the 228/229 had a shorter or different grip to a 226 (unlike e.g. a glock 19 Vs 17), so it might be something as inconsequential as the aesthetics of the baseplate.
