Help! Too many magazines for 1911's

[Leo]

Don't forget Factory COLT mags. They work well and can often be found cheaper than the Wilsons. I bought 5 of them when midway had the Stainless ones on sale for $14.00. I should have bought 10. I also have Shooting Star mags that are flawless. There were two proMags that came with the last 1911 I bought, they found their proper place in the trash can.

Wilson combat has always been my favorite.

All you need is Wilson 47D. End story.

Nothing else I've used perform up to their level. Chip McCormick mags aren't nearly as solid in my guns. They perform well, but the tolerances feel sloppier and the springs feel weaker.

The only Mags that have given me issue in any of my guns has been metalform. I came across a good deal on Kimber mags when I bought my first 1911, and they have always been 100% for me. I have also picked up a number of REALLY cheap mags from Sarco ($4/mag), and have had no issues to date with them either, after probably 900 or so rounds through them. I fully plan on rebuilding them with better springs/followers the minute they decide to give me any hint of malfunction, but at the price I found them for, I was just happy to have extras for range use without breaking the bank.

I run Chip McCormick's in my Springfield Loaded 1911. My buddy has some Wilson's and they're nice, but I didn't feel like they were worth the extra $. I use the 8-rd Power Mags and they've been flawless.

I've tried a little bit of everything...but settled on Wilson Combat.
I do the same thing before heading to the range, and load a couple hundred rounds into mags before getting there. Makes the time way more fun.

Yep...On all things 1911 jetchimp is dead on....

I prefer wilson combat but chip mccormick and kimber seem to be good as well.

I mainly use Wilson 47Ds, but I also have had great results with Chip McCormick Shooting Star magazines

I use Wilson 47d and Tripp in a wide array of 1911's from different manufacterers. Had a problem with one Wilson mag once but never had any problems with Tripp in any 1911.

I have nothing but Wilson Combat on mine too.

 

[LCSOSgt11]

I use nothing other than Wilson Combat mags. 10 for my full sized 1911, 10 for my Officer's Model.

Another vote for McCormick Power mags, ran mine for years with no problems !

What the monkey said.

 

[BJones]

+1 for the Wilson Combat mags.

Seems like the consensus here is for Wilson Combat mags for 1911s. I will go ahead and throw my hat in that ring as well. Very happy with my Wilson mags. I have a few Chip Mcormick mags too but I have had a couple issues with them specifically the 10 round mags. Never a problem from any of my Wilson mags.

You don't find them as much as you used to But I like military mags, get a few good Wilson for carry and Milsurp mags for the range
