1911 Mags

[PistolPete]

Get the Chip McCormick 10 round shooting star mags. They work great in all my single stack 1911's. Don't waste your time with the 7 or 8 round mags. Buy 5 or 6 10 rounders and put the 7 or 8 rounders away and forget about them.

Those with mag problems. . .

Have you tried to replace springs with Wolfe springs?

If so, has that solved the problem?

If not, why not give it a try? They aren't very expensive especially in multi-packs thru Brownells or Midway if you have a C&R FFL.

$11.53/3-pack with C&R ($17.29 w/o) from Brownells

1911 Mags.

I have four Springfield magazines and they all work just fine. [shock]

I went through CMC, Wilsons, and tried a MecGar. The CMC's worked for a while but eventually degraded to less than 100%. The Mecgar was nice but I couldn't break it down to clean the tube. My favorites were the Wilsons. However, I broke two of the stops on the Wilson 10 rd mags.

The Tripp Cobra mags have come highly recommended. I've yet to order some. (Tripp Research) They also sell spring and follower kits for other brands.

My 1911 (S&W) came with Wilson mags. I've added 3 Wilson 10-rd mags to the collection plus 5 Tripp mags.

I go in on a large group buy of Tripp mags (total >200) and almost all of us have had great luck with them. There were a few folks with problems but Virgil took care of them post-haste.
