Here is a 47d in my Kimber Pro without a magwell
Here is an 8 round McCormick in the same gun.
Yeah, those are the brand/type of mags that this 1911Sc has with it. I thought they were Novaks, but they are ACTs.
Thanks for reminding me.
Novak, ACT, PSI are all the same. Thanks BurkeLee for posting those pics.
When you get your 1911 bring it by and let me check it out for you

I carry and use both. They both work well and function flawlessly. No problem with "loss of spring tension."
One of each is on my duty belt right now and a Wilson in the gun. I keep these loaded constantly and shoot them at least weekly.

Well, I called and talked to one of the smittys at Wilson Combat today.
He tells me that the 8 and 7 round mags will BOTH protrude from the mag well just a touch, showing a little of the tube, but the 7 rounders will seat easily where as the 8 rounders require a firm hand to seat 'em in the pistol.
So I think I'll go with the 7 round model 47 mags.

Good choice. You won't regret it. And if you do just sell them to me on the cheep.

See what happens when you don't listen to us.

I know, I know...
I also ordered a Commander length guide rod (short/GI style) as well as a Commander length plug.
Here's another ???
Since I'll be trading out the guide rods and plugs, should I trade out the recoil spring as well? If so, what pound spring should I use? I don't even know what the factory spring is.
This plug and GR should just "drop in" shouldn't they? Surely something as simple as a rod and plug won't need fitted...ya think?
I also ordered a Galco "Triton" Kydex IWB holster and a Fobus paddle single mag carrier.
Fobus holsters are **** but I think their mag pouches are outstanding. Perfect tension on the mag and they ride nice and tight up against the hip. Most mag pouches I've encountered seem to cause the magazine to tip out and away from me because of my girth. Yeah, I know.
But the Fobus mag carriers snug up nice and tight.
