Im new to 1911's i recently purchased a sig sauer scorpion carry 1911 and its my first 1911 ever. Sorry for my ignorance when it comes to them but are all 1911 magazines interchangable?
I think the commander model 1911 takes a different mag
Nope, officers models do, not commanders. From what I see online, his is a Commander and will take standard 7-8 round 1911 mags.
To the OP, full size 1911 mags may be "universal" but that doesn't mean they all work, you do get what you pay for to some degree.
Gotcha. I wasn't sure
As Mitch said, the 1911 mags may be universal but they may or may not work in your pistol. Wilson and Mec-Gar make good mags but so do lots of other folks. I use a lot of Chip McCormick mags with great success...same goes for Wilson. If you have a Colt 1911 don't run away from buying factory mags directly from Colt. They are good and very resonably priced. Regardless of what mags you buy try a variety of brands and types within brands to find out what your pistol likes. Good luck
Agreed - Wilson ETMs, 47Ds, or Tripp Cobra's.
*** save up for Black Friday - Wilson usually has pretty good deals on certain items. Stock up. Tripp Research, not so much but my older Cobra mags are like diamonds compared to even the latest ETMs for quality feel and finish.
CMC's were hit or miss.
Others to consider - Novak, DL Sports, Ed Brown?, MEC GAR
Just like AR's == getting harder to figure out who is manufacturing for who......
