Always Wilson 47D 8rd. Until something else comes along and can unseat them, that is the Gold Standard.

Is there a chart or something that gives an overview of the crazy amount of different mags? It seems like Wilson alone has 87 different variations.

Wilson ETM 8 rounders
Tripp Cobra 8 rounders I also did the mag swap program Ed Brown Rand a few years back for a dozen 8 round mags and they are flawless |

CMC Powermags (had good luck with the Powermag +'s as well)
Cheap 7rders that Springfield uses Tripp Cobramags are universally hailed as the best. I have 2 inbound to try. The only real problems I've ever had with 1911 reliability has been with 2 mags. One was a pair of experimental CProducts 1911 mags with crap springs new. The other was with 47D's and weak mag springs in like 5 mags that I bought new. Not terribly impressed with them. Put some spare CMC springs in them and they work now. Maybe Wilson's other offerings are good, but the 47d's are a joke. |

I understand the issue (dimensions wise) with the 8 round 47D.
I personally have not had any issues but I rotate out mags probably once a year. Question for you guys.. I have some Kimber flush fit 8 round mags. They seat fine with 8 rounds in them. Should I be concerned with these? I have not had any issues with them but they only run in one of my guns and only abut a year old. 8 round CobraMags by Tripp good to go? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Shooting Stars in any size haven't failed me, not ever. These or Kimber's or Sig's are what I buy. I bought a pile of GI mags (probably not real GI mags) from the Sportsman's guide like 20 years ago and none of them have failed me yet. |

I had no problems with the 47d but I don’t happen to have them anymore. I have CMC and factory Colt.

I ordered a few different Wilson mags to try a 47d a 500 and a couple flush fit 7 and 8 rounders. Figure I'd try a few different ones out. I also have a couple colt stainless on the way.
I just grabbed a 1991 and for whatever reason only 1 colt mag came with. Hearing the mixed reviews on the Wilson mags has me thinking maybe trying a few first was a good idea. I'll definitely keep a look out for others until I find the best to stack up. I'm not sure with ammo prices if I'll start to get into 1911s but I'm sure I'll get a couple more and like having multiple mags. Once I finally find what is the best I'll probably just get a bunch of springs and followers as well. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bill Wilson disagrees. So very wrong and uninformed. You're recommending one of the absolute worst 8rd mags on the market. I ran Wilson 8 rounds ( and 10rnd) in USPSA/IPSC and IDPA for years dropped, stepped on, kicked in the dirt, etc, for years. They work great CMC power mags are GTG also. . |

They're extended so if your 1911 doesn't have a mag well the magazine will stick out below the gun:

Quote HistoryIf I want a "budget" or "inexpensive" 1911 magazine ... Chip McCormick 8rd PowerMags would be my choice too. (Or if my 1911 didn't have a mag well and I wanted a more "flush fit"). |
