Stainless Steel Stoeger Magazines

MItchell had a single 10 mm engineering model made up. They had no plans to market it. They did have plans to market a 40 S&W. About this time Mitchell dropped out of the picture and Stoeger took over the distributership. Never found out why. But this might have something to do with the magazine change. Possibly even a dual caliber?

I have a dual caliber Ruger P89 for 7.65 mm and ( mm Parabellum. I obtained an upper for 40 S&W. The early Ruger magazines were identical for all three calibers. After the Clinton magazine ban the 40 S&W magazine had wider lips so it would not hold the 9 0r 7.65 mm stuff, as it would have had room for more than 10.

Will the Stoeger magazine hold a 40 S&W? I'll try it tonight.
