GI 1911 mags

[jstory]

Opinions please...found some for $12 each. Are these worth it or should i pass? Looking for mags for my Rock Island and was told these would be a good fit. What does the folks here say? Thank you INGO

I have a pile of old GI mags I use at the range. I've had great luck with them.

I personally would go with Wilson, Brown, Chip McMormick in that gun. Watch for fake "GI" mags. Lots of imitations around. I even saw a fake Colt stainless mag today. Crimped bottom 4 way and real poor quality follower.

Joe's mag suck. Around the third drop on the ground (tactical reload practicing) and the base plate shattered. Don't waste your coins on Jim's.

Wilson Combat 47D, catch them on sale for around $27/each. Can't be beat. Quality has a price.

Agree with Wilsons 47D's, and Chip's McM. I have a number of different ones, and even WW2 mods from my Uncle that work well. My RIA shoots ball and HP's without issues.
I have an old Colt 7rd that is dependable. Another Colt is terrible. You gotta shoot them all to judge. I have noticed Kimbers, Remingtons, and others that may be fine.
The 8rd models seem to require a "push to click in", unless the slide is back. 7rds-no issues. Stainless in nice, blue is period correct. Get a few of each. (my ammo box has about 15 different ones, but my Wilson 47D's are carry mags.) Good luck.

I have 7 round USGI magazines that are older than I am that still function perfectly.

I have purchased a number of Chip McCormick 8 round mags from CDNN over they years, and have always been happy.

Two perfect appearing ProMags landed in the trash due to unreliable function, so I would not buy any more of those.

if you're just looking for range mags they're fine, but any 1911 I carry has a Wilson or Chip McCormick mag in it.

I just picked up a 8 round sig mag last night from Rural King for 27.99 + tax, fed fine at Wilbur Wright Range today.

Going to pick up some of the GIs for range mags and see how well they work. Will pick up a couple more good mags if I decide to carry. Thanks again INGO
