I ordered a TRP and it will be here on Wednesday. Plan on getting some additional mags for it. What do you guys like for a TPR?
I was thinking some of the black 8 round wilson combat. I heard that you get a discount coupon for springfield mags that come in the box. This true? My new baby:

Wilson 47s
I have had long term durability problems with the 47Ds. I think their trying to cram too many bullets into that mag and the spring gets weak easy. The 47s on the other hand I have never had a problem with them. The 47Ds I now have sport Tripp followers and springs and they work great now. Although a few have stopped dropping free. I believe the feed lips have opened up slightly but they still function great. I just use those for training. But they have lasted over a decade of use |
| If you're buying a new Springfield, there will be a "loaded coupon" in the box: it offers some pretty significant discounts on various SA mags, with a generous limit on how many you may order. My SA mags work well in my TRP and RO as well as in all my other 1911s. Shipping was a little slow, but not more than about ten days. |

I personally just prefer Wilson 47s |

Get the Tripp Cobramags, they are the best, period. Later on, get a Harrison Design True Radius Sear and new hammer and your good to go.

I have 8 Tripp Cobra mags, two 7 shot springfield mags and a couple 47D mags. The Tripp's are the best of the bunch and about $30 each (dealer) for the 8 shot mags from Brownells. The 47D mags work fine but with the all plastic follower you will get wear from the slide stop eventually. Plastic pushing steel, the plastic looses. The Tripp's are steel contacting steel with a nylon follower on top, best of both worlds. The springfield mags work fine but I prefer 8 shot mags.

I am assuming that the 7 round Tripp mags sit flush on the TRP? How about the 8 rounders? If I remember correctly it was $10 a mag for the 7 rounders. 10 mag limit. I got 10 of them and they are still running strong. Never had a problem with any of them. |

I've heard other say that they had a hard time w/Wilson 47D, but I never had a problem w/Wilson ETMs in mine, nor CMC or the factory. Those are all I ran through it. Wilsons would not fit in the Springfield I owned. They would not go in far enough to engage, due to the baseplate design and the Springfield magwell. I have used either Novaks or McCormicks for decades. |
