MAG 08 pistol
The other new Polish pistol at MSPO 2008 is the 9mm MAG 08. It is a redesign of the MAG 98 which itself was a redesign of the MAG 95. It looks nice, but I do remember reading complaints about the previous generation MAG pistols somewhere.
The original (from the manufacturers website)
MAG 98C
The new pistol
From what I can make out the frame is made from aluminum and it takes 15 round and 18 round magazines.

I have done my best to find accurate information about this firearm on the Polish MSPO 2008 website. I do not speak or read Polish so I had to rely on Google Translate. If I got something wrong, please correct me in the comments.
Its actuall based of the Walther pistol
MAG08 is an improved version of MAG95. Indeed it is frequently compared to SIG but at a fraction of the cost. MAG95 was initially rejected due to its weight but was always praised for its durability and accuracy like its top notch European counterparts. I own and shoot MAG08 weekly, its absolutely amazing. At least 20 people at my club shot this gun and declared their favorite at any price range. Not even SIG can be as accurate at 50 yards ( yeap you read that right ) as MAG. Expensive…..yes… well worth the import hassle…. you bet ya.
Looks a lot like a sig…. all the MAGXX pistols do… anyone know if it is based of a Sig design?
Main complaint about the gun was its weight. It came from army officers who were used to carry p-64 pistols. Quality of Mag-95 and Mag-98 was more then exeptional. If it comes to US market I more then recomend it
There is a chance for export.
