I recently bought a RIA and it's been flawless and accurate so far eating everything I feed it. Now, I'm in the market for mags.

Which mags out there are the most reliable in 8 rounds?

The Kimber Tac-Pro mags are made by Checkmate and are great mags for the money.  The have a much better spring in them than the Wilson 47Ds in my opinion.

Aren't the actual Checkmate's cheaper?

I can't imagine the Tac-Pro's being less than $20

Check-Mate's are great mags and cheap too. I always get the Hybrid feed lip models.
I also like the Wilson 47D's, but I haven't tried the ETM's yet.

Thanks for the link.  I ordered a few of the hybrids to try out.

My RIA came with a ACT mag which has been perfectly fine, and I also bought a Chip McCormick magazine which has also been perfect. Id like to get a few more Chip mags

Kimber Tac-Pro mags are very good and a great value. Spring feels better IMO than Wilson, but I ran >6k through one Wilson 47D without issue. My preference:
1) Tripp - better body, spring and follower
2) CMC - better body and spring, non-skirted follower
3) Wilson - good body and spring, flat metal basepad option
4) Kimber Tac Pro - good body and spring, flush fit option w/ metal baseplate

I carry Wilson because they offer a flat metal basepad. I wish Tripp did the same. ACT mags have given me troubles and are only range mags IMO.
