Ordered above gun, been reading that some mags can damage the aluminum frame.  Any one know any thing about this?

The thinking is that the frame/feedramp being Aluminum and a Steel mag follower may not get along.

The steel follower on a mag could I suppose scratch/gouge the ramp on the softer aluminum frame.

IDK, my Aluminum frame 1911s have ramped bbls, thus no chance of that.   If it worries you use mags with a plastic follower, like the excellent Wilson mags.   What mags does Colt supply?

The gun will come with Checkmate mags with the CMF.
