what are the best 1911 magazines for the $$

[Dr. HK]

I find myself with several 1911's and all have their factory mags. I want additional mags, what are the best mags for the $$. Also if you know of any local shop that has them in stock, or an online link. Thanks

I think Wilson Combat is the universal choice for the best mags. I think Big Boys has them. I'm sure Cold Hand Arms and , Mark's and Outdoor America has them too.

Are you paying only for name or are they actually better and more reliable?

I like Chip McCormick mags.

The 8 round Shooting Stars are flush fit and run just as good as the Wilsons for 10 bucks less.

Call me silly, but I don't like the way the Wilsons protrude out the bottom of the well. I like 'em to fit flush. The Shooting Stars are a little tougher too. They also use a steel follower instead of plastic.

I have two of these, they work great with Tripp 7 round spring kits... Before that they would jam 100 percent of the time on the last round. With the Tripp springs and followers I have never had a jam out of the Chip McCormick SS mags, but they are only 7 round mags now. My Wilson 47d mags have been flawless so far.

Wilson 47D all the way. The performance is worth the price.

I have several 1911's, and I use mainly Wilson mags. I do have a few Chip McCormicks and a couple Kimber Tac Pro mags. If you are buying new mags, Chip McCormicks are the best "value", but I buy all my mags used off ebay or message boards. I can regularly find Wilsons for a third off the new price.

Tripp Cobra's or WC ETM's or 47D's for the +10.

I do this too. You can find Wilson's on the cheap. I think I paid 20 apiece for the last 47d's I bought still in the package.
