1911 Magazines

[Daddy Warcrimes]

I've always bought surplus mags at gun shows. Never had a problem, and you can't beat the price.

wilson mags have hit or miss reliability with Springfield 1911's. problem is, you never know if it'll work with yours until you plop down the $40. (check out the Springfield forum on 1911forum.com great place for info)


i only use Springfield factory and metalform mags in my champion operator. they feed everything and are $10-$12.

I have an SA M1911A1 GI and use Chip McCormick 8-rd mags with the carry base pads. I use them during competition and the only problem I've had is after the mags are empty the follower doesn't stay well in the mags.

Here's a quick cell pic of it with one of my carry mags.

IMHO, in order:

1. Tripp Research
2. Wilson Combat
3. Chip McCormick

Can't go wrong with any of them. I have a buddy that puts Wilson Combat springs and follower in his other magazines.

This. My Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Mil-Spec loves the Tripp Cobra mag, but my Wilson 47D lost control of a round and failed to run the round into the extraction groove, so I don't feel I can trust it any more as my carry mag. So the Wilson swapped places with the Tripp and now resides on my hip as my back-up mag, while the Tripp stays in the gun.

I've used Chip McCormick, Colt (factory), and Star (cheapo knock-off).

Chip McCormick work great
Colt Factory work great
Star sucks majorly

I'm looking at getting some wilson's once I get another 1911. Heard they are nice.
