[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3855498, member: 24452"] I’m a mag hoarder, and at one time I had a couple hundred 1911 mags of all flavors…ChipM, Metalform, Tripp, Wilson, Colt, and a bunch of no name (probably made by Metalform or ChipM). To be honest, the only ones I ever had problems with and ended up rebuilding with Tripp guts is a couple of the no name mags. For defensive carry, I use flush fit Tripps, but I have 11 old stainless Colt mags that I bought second hand off another message board several years ago that I use most for practice. When I had my second Colt custom built, it wouldn’t run with the old Colt mags, and I told the gunsmith there was a problem with the gun. He argued with me that it was a mag problem and not a gun problem. He didn’t have much of a leg to stand on, because they ran great in the first gun he built me. I insisted he take the gun back and sent my mags with it, and I was right. He tweeked something, and it ran fine with ALL my mags afterwards. In case anyone is interested, a Pelican 1020 case holds 6 1911 mags perfectly. I keep a case in all my vehicles and scattered around my house, because you never know when you might need extra mags.
