1911 Mags

[SubUrbanCamo317]

I have two different mags for my smith and wesson SW1911, one that sits flush and one that has a spacer of some sort on the end. Some one on youtube said this is a wilson combat mag?

Is there a question here, or is this just a comment? It could be any kind of mag with a bumper on it, lots of different manufacturers use basepads like that to make fast magazine insertion easier.

Pics of the mag would help us determine the makers of the mag in question.

Just cause it has a bumper on it does not make it a wilson. Wilson mags are stamped along the body.
As stated a pic is worth 1000 words

Wilson Combat mags normally say WILSON COMBAT on the bumper pad or somewhere on the body of the mag. If it doesnt say WILSON COMBAT somewhere on it, then it probably isnt a WC mag.

The spacer is usually for a 8 round mag, and the ones that sit flush are usually 7 from what I have seen. Wilson Combat does make both if I'm not mistaken.

I have several Flush fit 8 rnd mags from Colt, Chip McCormic, and Wilson Combat. It doest need the bumper pad to be an 8nd mag.

The mag with the bumper on it is the original S&W mag, i bought 2 extra mags that are flush with the bottom of the gun, they are kimber mags. what i wanna know is if there is a specific name for the mags with the bumper on it. I like the bumper one better, its easier to slam home.

Oh. No, its most likey a generic mag made by company like Mecgar or a few others that produce "factory" mags for mass produced guns.

Real Wilson Combat mags are clearly marked as such and use a unique and proprietary follower.

SubUrbanCamo317 if you like a mag with a bumper on it then youll love wilson combat 47D's or the 500ETM. Wilson combat has them on sale right now.

The ETM mags are freaking SWEET! They are my favorite range/target mags.

I use 47Ds for EDC. The smaller bumper makes it easier to conceal.

Touche, haha. Anywho, im now fully aware of what i want for the mags for my gun. Any complaints on the ten round mags? Besides the fact that they stick out like a sore thumb....

 

[kawtech87]

Wilson Combat and Chip McCormic make great 10rnd mags.

I like the way the Chip McCormic 10 rnd mags look because they have an extended cover that looks cleaner.

Thank you, is there any other brands that you would suggest?
