Bigger magazines

[Lamps3]

My SA Milspec 1911 45 came with one 7 round magazine. Will it be a problem for me to shoot use a bigger magazine from Wilson Combat magazines???

no, not a problem. i use the 8 round wilson combat mags for my milspec. just make sure you get the "government" sized mags.

No. As long as the mags are for a 1911, they'll fit just fine. Wilson Combat mags are considered to be the very best. They're the only ones I'll use for carry or competition.

i always buy Wilson and NightHawk magazines...both are priced nearly close, and I have found them both to be very dependable for target practice....

i do not carry a 1911, but if i did..??

both are very good for the money you spend.

I have yet to buy any Metal Form magazines, as they are made here in my state (RI), at my bro-in-laws shop....

and NOooooo...he can't take home any "samples"......he'd be fired

i should have pointed out....

ALL 3 brands are made at my bro-in-laws shop....!!!!!!!!

he showed me many pics he took, with the work order names of the company's.

in fact, Metal Form bought into his company a few years ago......

You're not limited to just Wilson Combat. Ed Brown, MecGar, McCormick and others offer reliable 8rd magazines for the government/commander grip 1911 pistol. Springfield sells 1911 magazines as well, but not sure who makes the oem.

Check out Greg Cote at https://gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php. He offers good prices, fast delivery at reasonable shipping cost.

I like Metalform mags. I've found them to be the most reliable for my 38 Super 1911s. And yes, I do buy them from Greg Cote. He has the best prices.
Wilson's .45 mags are the best. But their 9mm and 38 Super mags aren't quite as good.
Metalform makes Colt's factory mags.

Hi,

I have a few Chip McCormick 10-round magazines. They work great on both my SA Garrison and Sig 1911s.

Thank you for your indulgence,
