Anyone know where I can buy a Challenger III magazine. The pistol that I have has the mag release on the bottom of the grip not the side, so a Buckmark mag will not work. I do not know but have been told that I have a European model as they had the release on the bottom. I have tried Buckmark mags. Every source I have found lists Buckmark mags. Any ideas or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried Brownell's?

Yes I have tried Brownell's as well as Midway and several others. They all say a Buckmark magazine will fit. No one even lists anything but a Buckmark magazine. I have one mag for the pistol and wanted another but I this is not looking good.

Did you try this site?

I have a Challenger and a Buckmark and they are not the same. Check this.

Thanks for the info. They have mags listed specificaly for challengers. I will order 1 tomorrow. I wonder why everyone else says that they interchange? Glad to hear yours are different as well. Thanks again!

What happened? Did you manage to find one? I bought an extra factory mag for mine back in 1984 or so but lost it. I tried a Buckmark mag and they are distinctly different and do not fit. Numrich Arms (egunparts.com) may have them but they won't be cheap. Let us know. -WSJ
