Brownell's is one good source:
www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=4595&title=FACTORY+MAGAZINES

You can use either the 7 or 8 shot Government/Commander magazines, which were the same used in the Eagle.

7 shot stainless steel: 160-114-451   $24.98
8 shot stainless steel: 160-114-453   $35.00

Another, cheaper source, CDNN:  www.cdnninvestments.com/colt.html
Buy factory Colt ONLY here, not the aftermarket.

I have bought the Mitchell brand mags from CDNN w/o problem and they also sell CMC mags as well as MEC GAR at times. Besides, as far as I know Colt doesn't make mags for their 1911s.

So, who makes the mags with the little horsey on them?

Metalform, Checkmate, OK Industries are said to be three that currently or recently have made mags for Colt. Also, I have been told that the "little horsey" is often counterfeited.
