Cali_Ed Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) Brownell has a three pack of the chips for about 70 is while I've see the Wilson's going for 32ish at midway? Who sells the better mags even if it's not these guys? Don't mind paying for quality for my new sig 1911r Edited April 21, 2014 by Cali_Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) I have many of both and they all work fine. I have replaced more springs in my Wilson Combat mags. They both see hard use. Get the ones on sale. Edited April 21, 2014 by StainTrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolndie7 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Have run both wilson and Tripp research mags in my c3 no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmist Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Horse a piece. I have some Wilsons only because they were bought used, for cheap. I prefer the CM Power 10s myself. Congrats on the SIG. I've been running my TacOps TR for 2 years now and it has been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I use Wilson 8's and CMC Power 10's. The newer CMC's are designed to be used with extended magwells. I carry, and use them in, a SA TRP Operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_Ed Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 i was looking at ten round mags, they seem to stick out about an inch or so past the mag well. makes the gun look off a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StainTrain Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have used the 10rd for duty and although they do look off, they function just like their little brothers.....flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StainTrain Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 A couple of my wilson 10 rounders had the mag stop break off of them during training. That is the only fault I found with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've been using McCormicks since Chip first started marketing them, in 10, 8 and 7 (Officer ACP) round configurations. I've never had a problem with any of them and wouldn't buy anything else for .45. I've used them for duty carry and USPSA competition, and they are all I use in my carry gun. Can't beat then for the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_Ed Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Do we have a 1911 faq? Maybe we should pin this magazine thread? I had to go back to post from 2010 to find something about them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Log out Mike, you're drunk-posting.LMAO ...Zero sleep last day and a quarter. Mecgar has very good mags for 1911 in. 45acp , 10mm , 40s&w , 9mm ,& super 38. They also have 6 ,7 , 8 , 10 & 11. Round mags.http://www.mec-gar.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 i was looking at ten round mags, they seem to stick out about an inch or so past the mag well. makes the gun look off a bit But it sure does make a 5" 1911 balance well. Same thing with a 15-rd mag in a 4" XD45 - great balance. It's not about looks, and it's not the mag of choice to try to conceal, but you need to have one on you when you carry - if you end up having to use any ammo whilst carrying, you'll wish you had one of those on the first reload. When I carry the 4" or 5" Kimber, they have a CMC 8-rounder in them and one in the chamber. I have two CMC Power 10s with me. When I carry the XD45 (that's the daily pistol now), it's got the 13-rounder, one in the chamber, and two 15-rounders as spares. I have no idea how many 1911 mags I have, so I think that's something I need to count, now. I'll tackle that job in the next couple days. Most are CMCs, a few are Kimber mags, and a few more than a few are Wilson Combat mags. I'll figure it out. Mike is right again, too - Mec-Gar makes some great double-stack mags. I've never tried their single-stack mags, but have some of the doubles. Those were OEM for the Kimber BP Ten II, Para 45, and a few other manufacturers.

Zebra644 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 LMAO ...Zero sleep last day and a quarter. Mecgar has very good mags for 1911 in. 45acp , 10mm , 40s&w , 9mm ,& super 38.

Round mags.http://www.mec-gar.com I agree they work quite well on 1911's and I have never had a problem shooting these in either of my S/A TRP Operator or my Champion Operator. I have had issues with the older CM Power Mags. The Mecgar's have a solid follower and a anti-tilt tip that extends well into the mag kinda like a P-Mag. Sorry Robo but they flat out work brother.
