Looking for advice on which mags to buy for my new DW Specialist that I just ordered.  Should I get only 8 rounders or should I also grab a few 10 rounders as well?

Which maker is the most highly regarded?

I'm thinking I should grab 5-10 since I haven't owned any single stacks before and have zero mags on hand.

Thanks fellas!

I use the DW mags that came with my Valor and Wilson's, both have worked flawlessly. I haven't had good luck with oversize in the past so I stick to 8's. Something tells me you are going to like that thing. Dan Wesson's are so much winning.

Everyone seems to like WilsonCombat mags but I've always liked Kimber pro tac mags. They're normally a few bucks cheaper than the Wilsons and include three different base pads.

I don't bother with 10 round mags.  

Chip McCormick Powermags (8 rd) are what I generally use most.

Thanks for all of the great info guys!

So, is 25.00 bucks per Wilson ETM 8 round mag a good price?

Okay, I had to jump on the mags at Brownells since it was a sale and a coupon code made them even cheaper!  Worked out to 22.50 per mag. Hope I did alright.

This is what I have been using for about 10 years, even before I became friends with Chip :)

I have had issues with Tripp mags where the feed lips started spreading, causing them to drag in the magwell during a reload.

CMC Power mags, 8 and 10 rounders work great.

My TRP and my Colts run just fine with McCormicks or Wilsons.

I have 8-Round McCormicks that I have been using for around 30 years.

Good choice. Love my ETM's. Troops are great too. Also have never had a problem with my CMC power mags.

But I'm partial to the base plate on the ETMs. Easy to rip them out of a gun with a magwell with the palm of your hand on the font lip.
