1911 mags

[mudstud]

I am wanting a few more mags for 1911 does any one have any advice on this subject. I have a para single stack thanks.

You get what you pay for, which holds true for most things relating to the 1911. I would recommend Wilson Combat or Chip McCormick Power Mags. Some say Tripp magazines are good, but I have not used any personally. I, along with most folks here on the forum will tell you that those are very reliable, well built magazines.

A good read that I will recommend to you on this subject is from Hilton Yam:

I've used Wilson Combat and Nighthawk mags and have had good luck with both of them in my Kimbers and Springfield. I've read the link to Hilton Yam's site and he speaks highly​ of the Chip McCormick mags.

Another vote for Wilsons. Just don't get any flush-fitting ones. They are a pain. You really have to slam them in there to get them to seat properly.

Just another tag-a-long awnser. Wilson Combat 47D. I've had issues with almost every factory 1911 mag at one time or another. None withe the 47D.

They aren't sexy, but Metal-Form makes the Colt OEM-supplied 1911 magazines. CDNN has the stainless ones for sale at $15 each. I've never had problems with them. I also have some McCormick 8-rd stainless 'Shooting Star' mags which have been very reliable.

I'm a real fan of Chip McCormick (CMC) magazines, I use the Power Mag or Power Mag Plus for carry. I have some standard CMC Shooting Star mags that are 20 plus years old that are still going strong and they do get used and abuses in practice. Also I have several 1911's and they work in all of them without any issues. One of the local area shops (pm and I'll tell you who, don't know if it's a rule violation to name a vendor in a post) generally has the Power Mags in stock at a good price.

If you know of a good deal, feel free to post it. We just frown upon stumping from an employee/owner if they're not a vendor.

I've used the magazines from Springfield Armory, Colt, Kimber and Wilson Combat without any problems. When new I load them to capacity for a day or two before using them the first time.

Again, Chip McCormick mags but Mec-Gar makes good 1911 mag's as well.

I bought two Wilson 47D for my SA Champion loaded. The stock SA mags that came with the gun work better.Maybe I just got lucky with the SA mags but I let the Wilsons go with the Trophy Match when I got rid of it.

CMC Power Mags here

Wilson 47d and Chip McCormack power mags have had 0 issues for me some of my Wilsons are finally in need of springs after about 10 years and the spring and follower is only $7.99 most places its hard to beat that.
