Who makes/sells the best USGI-style metal magazines for the 1911 these days? I'm looking for 7-round mags, blued, standard feed lip, etc. Nothing against more modern mags like Wilsons, etc. I just feed my Springfield "GI" 1911 a steady diet of 230-gr hardball only, and I prefer to buy "GI" style mags, but I haven't bought any in a long time.



Thanks!

I have been using CheckMates in my SR1911 and they seem to be working fine, like you most of the ammo i put through it is 239 grain fmj ball.

There is/was a guy in the EE selling colt factories for 9.50
kinda hard to beat for new mags

IIRC Colt mags are just Metalform mags anyway
ETA: or checkmate, I can't remember

Both I believe, depending on date and style.  I've bought 3 Colts this year and all came with Checkmates.

Lot on the net says those are reject mags, or fakes.

Hell I think I few that I never used in a bag somewhere.
