yeah, I'm sure it's been asked before, but searches did not reveal.

Just got a RIA commander size in 45.

I'd like to get a few extra mags, and I've read that some are just junk.  So what mags should i be looking for, and which to avoid ?

thanks

Read this:

Magazine analysis

and this:

Magazine analysis, part 2

Now you're an educated consumer, instead of just listening to random internet strangers telling you "buy these!" and "those suck, dude, buy these instead!"

Just buy one of each, see what you like.

I used to like CMCs, but the followers wear faster compared to a nylon one.

Yep. Find out which one your gun likes. Just like ammo.

A Colt 7 round mag with a Wolff 11lb spring would be my mag of choice in a Commander.  

Second on the list would be a Wilson 47+p.  

Stick with 7 round mags to make life easy...

I used to think that was bullshit, but 7 round Colt style mags with the dimpled followers are the only ones that have reliably worked 100% of the time.

Same here. The Wilson's were not 100% in my gun.
