Performance Center Model 3566 (.356) Magazines

[TriggerHappy1]

I have an opportunity to acquire two Performance Center 3566's -- one 3.5 inch and one 5 inch -- but they don't come with mags. Do 9MM mags work in 3566's? If not, I'm sunk. Does anyone know where I can get .356 mags? Thanks!

They are 100% the same except for the cool PC and caliber markings.

Good old 15-round 5906 magazines work flawlessly in a 3566 Limited and standard 6906 12-round magazines are perfect in the smaller 3566 pistol. Of course, you can also use the longer 15-round 5906 mags in the smaller pistol also, they simply hang lower than the frame.

WHO HOW and WHY can you get these two elite and seriously rare pistols with no magazines?! Please tell more of this story!

Sevens, thanks for the info? I'll reply to your "WHO HOW WHY" question once I actually own the guns.

I love these guns (in case ya can't tell!) and I have one of the two you are trying to get.

The elusive magazine that I would love to get and can't seem to come across is a PC-marked 4506 magazine. Original equipment for an 845.

As Sevens said, the 5906 magazines work fine. My 3566 Limited only came with only one PC mag, but all the papers & box. Go figure.

Midway still has brand new ones if you "feel the need".

I played around testing/measuring recoil spring forces & found a variety to use with different power ammo. I've seen posts where people say the Limited uses the 5906's recoil spring but that not correct from what I see.

If you consider getting a Briley 9x19 barrel for it PM me first for what I encountered.
