Does anyone have any experience with good single stack hi-cap 1911 mags (10 rounds+)? If so what kind of mags where they and how much did you pay. Thanks.

I've used 10 rd Chip McCormick mags with success. Don't know how much they are.

I have only played with 2 good hicap 1911 single stack mags.  The Metgar 11 rounds work  great and do not command much of a premium say $25.  Then there is the 1911 drum mag that sells for more then $500 and you never see up for sale.
Get the Wilson/ed brown 10 rounders they work great and can be found for under $30.

15 rounders can be had for about $25.  Kinda fun to shoot a 1911 with 2 hands that aren't touching each other.

Wilson, Chip McCormick, Ed Brown. Any of those should feed, drop, and last a good while.

Do those 15 rounders feed ok? Is it a promag or what?

It feeds perfectly about 80% of the time.  Its a toy, not to be depended on.

Kimber makes a good 10rd mag too.

10-11rds is as high as you want to go after that the rounds start to tip in the mag, and springs have trouble feeding and that leads to problems.

I forgot about 10rd mags simply because there arn't a lot of good options for web pouches for them. 8Rd is OK, Eagle dropped a really nice 4 11rd mag pouch.

Wilson mags it is.

Combat Diver, do they let you use your own sidearm?

Wilson !!!!    Load & unload (by hand) you can feel the smoothness. It's hard to explain, you'll know what I'm talking about if/when you do it. I believe it's the follower.

Would this be the wrong time to tell you that I recently bought 3 brand new Wilson mags, 47D I believe, and everyone of them has a weak spring? They're being sent back to Wilson as we speak.

I have a few 11 rounders in stainless, made in Italy, purchased before the ban.
I was impressed enough to find a few more after the ban to purchase.
None are branded, but a couple are stamped "Made in Italy", the others are unmarked but are identical in look and function...not U.S.A. brand, these actually work.

Gunplay,

Negative, the M1911A1 is a issued sidearm.  My unit drew 300 of them out of depot.
