A friend of mine uses McCormick guts in a Wilson tube. His SA Professional won't function with Wilson followers. So I suppose Metalforms should work fine.

The McCormick follwers have malfunctioned for me, and I prefer the Wilson/Rogers design far and away over the McCormick. But, the Metalform rounded steel follower is essentially the same as the Wilson/Rogers follower, except it is steel and not polymer. |

Gotta tag this one. I've had a fair number of Wilson poly followers wear and fail to lock the slide back reliably. I was thinking of switching over to McCormick Power mags.......
FNC80, thanks for the link! Have you tried these followers? |

You might look at m1911.org. the first thread in the gunsmithing section is about magazine follower.

I would expect that the metal/polymer contsruction of the Tripp followers would also eventually fail with use as the metal insert wears on the much softer polymer.

I recently sent back 6 47Ds for failing to lock the slide back. When they return, I will retrofit them and the 4 remaining 47Ds with Tripp springs and followers. I plan on running them side by side with 10 CMC Powermags.
Tripp has had very positive reviews on 10-8 and I don't doubt they're better than the standard 47D followers/springs. |

Here's a more comprehensive review of the Tripp mags as well as their followers/springs:
