I am wondering about that price.

 I recently bought one for my full size steel, large frame, for significantly more delivered from that same source and it works perfectly. I sometimes swapped the upper .45 Elite Match with the full size steel 9mm and it worked great in both frames. My Mec Gar spares for my T100 and 1911s are fine. If they are genuine Mec Gars, now the supplier of the original equipment for EAA, that is a great price. If not...well, good luck. I have given away five older 9mm compact EAA mags, bought from EAA hisself in three separate transactions at a much higher price too, with the caveat that they were not reliable.  Keep us posted because it gives my cheap self hope of saving more than a buck on a new .45 mag or two. Still trying to figure out why the Elite Match came in a case better than most briefcases but with one mag. Send it in a cardboard box with 2 mags! It will never be an heirloom collector pistol.

Have you ever seen a statue honoring someone who left well enough alone?

Looks like they are MecGar mags, that's a good price.  If I didn't have so many already I'd pick up some.

CDNN has some great prices on many brands of OEM magazines.
 I to bet these are Mec -Gar mags.
 I have picked up many a  magazine from CDNN in the past.
Pretty sure I have some of these but for the 10 MM which should be large frame mags.

Neither. You will need Canik OEM mags.

Exactly why should we learn from our mistakes if we are just going to go find new ones to make?

Thanks for the answer, but I was under the impression that CZ mags also fit the Caniks.

CZ75b magazines fit fine in the caniks.  As for getting Witness mags, the small frame witness magazines is what you'd want for the caniks.

EAA told me that their OEM mags all had orange/red followers.  Interesting these are black.

I have just tried the CZ 75B mags (both CZ and MecGar) in the TP9V2 and they do not lock into the Canik. In fact the CZ mags have a near quarter inch gap between the base of the mag well and the magazine footplate. Given that the Canik TP9 OEM mags fit near all versions of the TP9 I would suggest you EITHER buy OEM Canik or go to a gun shop and actually see a physical correct fit before buying. That is still easier than getting stuck with shipping and restocking fees for the wrong item.

I have read a single comment where the Beretta 92 mag can be modified to work in the TP9 series, but why modify a more expensive magazine when OEM 20 RD is less expensive and is MecGar?

Now if your Canik is a Shark or some other model then forget everything I have stated as it does likely not apply to your firearm.

Yeah, the TP9 caniks are different.  This thread was about the magazines that fit the CZ derived Caniks, not the TP9 series.  When someone mentions caniks in the CZ Clone Club they are generally referring to the S120, T120, P120, etc.
