I'm looking at getting a few Wilson Service Combat Magazine. It says that they hold 8 rounds. I'm assuming that this will fit flush with my Kimber Custom II. Just want to double check before I buy them only to find out they're too long.

Wilson are the best 45 mag out there.  the 8 rounder will fit flush.  I have many and have used them for years.  their  followers on the mags are the best also.

They don't fit like a standard welded bottom mag since the bottom of the bottom plate front tab on the Wilson mags will protrude down a little father than the welded bottom units (the front base tab is thicker (top to bottom), hence the bottom of the mag will stick down a little father).

This is a Wilson 47D with a thin base pad




This is a Wilson 47D with the standard base pad in a 1911 with an extended mag well

std WC mags will NOT fit fully flush--removable floorpates protrude, as seen in mr sgb's pics

h/w, the 7 and 8rnders are the same legnth

If they protrude a bit it won't be a problem though, especially that short of a protrusion?

edit        use the 8 round follower in a regular mag and it will fit flush!
