They all need to work together and the more reliable the individual components are the more likely it is the pistol will function when needed. A reliable pistol is really a system consisting of the pistol, the magazine and the ammo. I’ll admit it, I drink the Cool Aid on these. Looks like Beretta will release a 17 round PVD magazine with the M9A3.might be the new heat. Given the choice I'd buy and carry the Mec-Gars, but all of the Beretta OEM offerings are excellent. If you look around you can find them for $20. The Mec-Gar magazines have the endorsement of some knowledgeable Beretta users (Bill Wilson, Ernest Langdon). I've used the Mec-Gar 18 round magazines and I've had zero problems.
In some ways military issues with Check-Mate magazines in Iraq are the reason the PVD magazines were designed. Check-Mate was responsive and replaced both magazines, but I wouldn't use them in for carry. Two Check-Mate magazines (pre-2005 date stamp) proved problematic and would fail to lock-back the slide when empty. The only M9/92 series magazine I've had problems with is Check-Mate. I'm not sure the PVD magazine offers any advantages (outside of a desert environment) that justifies the increased cost. I've used just about every Beretta OEM magazine (standard 15 round, 15 round PVD, 17 round) and I have no issues to report.
