yeah, it is CA compliant, so it has 2...7 rnd mags...

but then i figured since i was there, i'd look for mags...many times, they are out of stock..

but they had like 2 dozen of the Wilson Combat (8 rds) and i figured, i had better grab at least 2......then i thought...4.....then i thought 6......so i settled on 7......

with the many times i buy a 1911....i'll have spares to make sure every range trip, each 1911 that i own....willl go to the range with 4 mags....

i buy the soft-sided pistol carrier, at walmart, like $10 each, and they have a compartment for 4 mags....

made by Allen

and then, THAT carry case, goes into my range bag, with the ear/eye stuff, and other crappola one takes to a range.

almost looks like this

i took my new S/A Mil Spec, 1911 to the club this morning, and the Tisas as well

each gun shot off 100 rds, of reloaded ammo.

beautiful day at the club, no hiccups.

all my 1911's have 8 rd mags, this S/A is CA compliant with 2, 7 rd mags.

i forgot that little detail and tried to load that extra 45 in them.....

makes no sense to me, that the 1911's only have 8 rd mags to begin with, and if CA wanted 10 rds, as a max, why take away 1 stinking rnd in the 1911..???

well, i went on a mag buying spree the same day i got this gun.......so i got many more 8 rd mags on hand.

just dumb, dumb, dumb, what CA did.

but it still did not ruin my day
