Time for some new mags, I was contemplating the fully tapered mags from Check-Mate since I mostly shoot 230gr FMJ.
Anyone else have these? Do they also feed hollowpoints (Ranger-T, SXT) ok, or are they best used for hardball only? |

I use Wilson ETM mags in all my 1911s I have had zero problems with them as apposed to all my other mags CMC MecGar etc that will have feed issues in my Kimber SS Target. |

I've got ETM's, though they haven't performed as well for me, and a variety of others; I'm just curious about folks' experience with the GI type CheckMates. |

They're good mags, but not my preferred mag. The lips will spread sooner than wadcutter lip mags.
I'd get some 7rd Springfield mags. They're made by Checkmate in a GI configuration but with wadcutter lips, however they're not true wadcutter as they have a .05-06" taper, breaking the difference between Colt hybrid lips, and true wadcutter .0" taper lips. They're blued, drilled for baseplates, have the correct follower, and a stock 9.5# spring. They're good to go. http://store.springfield-armory.com/shop/pc/-45-ACP-7-ROUND-MAGAZINE-BLUED-51p117.htm The release point is .54" on the wadcutter lips .66" on the GI full taper lips, and .51 on the Colt hybrid lips. |

Nice! Any idea if their stainless 7rd mags are built to the same spec? |

Also John Harrison makes a low-pro baseplate intended for Tripp welded baseplate mags that should fit these. I'll check that out eventually. http://store.springfield-armory.com/shop/pc/-45-ACP-7-ROUND-MAGAZINE-STAINLESS-STEEL-51p115.htm https://shop.harrisoncustom.com/bp-001-base-pad |
