There is a new player in the market and there are a number of us that are excited to try the designs they are offering. Checkmate was one of the suppliers of USGI magazines and is also currently one of the suppliers of Colt magazine. Their mags are going to be offered with the Colt "hybrid" feed lips and the original USGI feed lips. The magazine is a critical and oft overlooked part of any firearms and the 1911 suffers from a large number of sub-par magazines with weak springs and misshapen tubes, feed lips, and followers that cause a variety of feeding issues. There is a group buy going on over at http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=29142&page=1&pp=10 and the prices are pretty amazing. Don't let the price fool you, these magazines are not junk.
They will be doing flush fit 8 round magazines some time in the near future.
