I'm buying 10 mags-1911

[warren5421]

I am buying 10 new mags for a 1911. I am looking at Wilson and Ed Brown mags. I have a mixture of Wilson, cheap gov, Colt, Springfield, and Taurus. I would like to shoot some 3 gun so need good mags for the game. I would like to hear the good and bad for the two brands.

If you really plan to run 3Gun I would suggest 30-50 magazines. Load them all before the comp.

Wilson and Chip McCormick are my go to's. Have around 30 of various capacities with no issues

Chip McCormick Shooting Star 8-rounders, hands down. Keep 'em clean.

Tripp Research, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, Chip Mccormick are all good choices.

Pro-Mags have never let me down…… said no one ever…,

I run Chip McCormicks in my old guns.

I just received an e-mail from Wilson. They have a special on 1911 mags. Buy 4 get 1 free.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I have Metalforms and LesBaers.

Wilson and Chip McCormick are my go to's.

Bingo...have had zero issues with either!

 

[Patched]

I have only used Wilson Combat 10-rounders. Never had any issue with them.

Wilson bought Chip McCormick. However, I have read that the CM magazines are still built the old way.

I have a few different manufacturers. With the help of a member here, who trusted me enough to send me one of his, I learned tuning the magazine is more important than a brand. Most of what have been listed use good steel. My Dan Wesson mags (I think are metalform) and my Checkmate mags all work well. Crazy how much a few thousands of bend made.

I switched from Wilson #47 7rnd and Cobra 8rnd to McCormick RPM.

These are very thickly built, and the springs have as much power as they should. Seven years later, the mags are still on their original springs and are running fine.

I will mention I had one mag with an issue, that I couldn't figure out and neither could CMC. Everything was in spec, but it hiccuped a couple times. CMC replaced it for free, and I got to have a couple nice long phone calls with the man himself, Chip. If you ever get the chance to talk to him, I highly recommend it. Very nice, knowledgeable feller.
