For the most part are the P226 .40 mags the same profile as the p229 other than capacity and therefore length? ________________________ P229 Stainless Elite P320 X-Five Legion P320 X-Carry | ||

P226 magazine tubes are narrower than 357/40 P229 mag tubes. A 357/40 P229 magazine will not fit into a P226 mag well. “I don’t want some ‘gun nut’ training my officers [about firearms].” — Unidentified chief of an American police department. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

I have a friend who does great leather work. He's making a mag pouch for my BIL's p226. Should p229 magazine be used to mock up, would it make that much of a difference? ________________________ P229 Stainless Elite P320 X-Five Legion P320 X-Carry | |||

I'd recommend using the correct mag to insure correct fit. | |||

I agree. If the pouch is made to be a snug, secure fit for P226 magazines, a P229 mag will be a very tight fit.
