Anyone have any experience with the Pro Mag brand magazines for the Sig P238? I am in need of a new mag and Iam not sure if they are a reliable magazine or not. Thanks for all the feedback.
Generally speaking, Pro-mags are not a good way to spend your money. In fact, given all the complaints I read about and hear about them, I'm sort of amazed they've been around as long as they have.
I wouldn't spend the money on them. It's not actually saving anything if the magazine you buy is defective. Believe me, I wish they worked as advertised. Their 20 round mags for my Beretta Cx4 are pretty cheap, while the ones from Beretta are $50. Still if I can't use them, the money I would've spent on those would be better used towards factory mags.
I'd rather have 2 working mags for $100, than 5 non-working for the same price, you know?
The ProMags that I have for my P-3at feed great over 200 round in each mag. :35:
I had two of the 33 round mags for Glock and they would only feed three rounds and then jam up. :aargh4::rant:
I tried both 33 round mags in all three pistols (17,19,and 26) and in my Kel-Tec SUB 2000 and they were jam-o-matics. I had to use a screwdriver to pry lose some rounds to even get them out. :twak: They were exchanged for Glock 33 rounders. :wave:
Just check with the return policy if you decide to get the ProMags.

The P238 is modeled on the out-of-production Colt Mustang. The Mustang magazines are available on many firearms website. I got mine at Cheaper Than Dirt and it fits/works just fine.
The best seller for Sig parts is "Top Gun Supply". I bought two additional mags for my 238 and they were identical to the stock (rounded follower)
All work flawlessly, and I can't tell them apart any more. They were $34. (now $31)
I have heard some folks say Colt Mustang mags work, and some don't. The 238 is not an exact copy.
I just looked online, and the new mags don't look like mine. The newest have the dimple, mine don't.
Maybe it's just me, but the follower looks steeper than mine. I do think this is the current 238 factory mag.
Oh, and Top Gun Supply is a first class organization. Fear not.
