1911 Question

[Honey Badger]

Will any 7 round 1911 mag work in my Para LDA?

 

[NikatKimber]

As long as it is a full size mag and not one of the shorter officer's size mags yes. You can also buy 8 rounds flush mags that work in the Govm't size 1911.

Also, moving you to the Handgun section.

 

[Honey Badger]

Sorry! And thanks for the info.

 

[NikatKimber]

No problem.

oh, btw, is yours the 7.45 LDA? They make a lot of LDA models, so that isn't necessarily helpful to know. LDA stands for Light Double Action, referring to only the trigger, not the particular model. I seem to remember you talking about when you got it, so that's why I assumed full size.

 

[Honey Badger]

Yes sir, that is exactly what it is. You are right. That is the one I posted pictures of not to long ago.

Is there any such thing as an affordable mag out there for this thing? Don't laugh too hard please!

Wilson 47d or mccormick power mags can be found for $25-30 new.
not a bad deal.

 

[Honey Badger]

AHHH!!! I get it. Thanks. What are the Good ones? and how much do they cost?

 

[NikatKimber]

Not sure what the "official" opinion of them are from those who are serious 1911 shooters, but I picked up 4 of the Metalform mags when OSA did a group buy like 3 years ago that have served well since then, but they only have a cumulative total of <1500 rounds through them. I think they were something like $15 ea with the group buy, don't know what the regular price is, or what it is now.

Wilson mags rock. i doubt you'd be disappointed in your investment if you picked a couple up. I have some 8 round ETM's and 47D's and they're both heads and shoulders above the stock Kimber and Colt GI mags I've used previously.
