I've noticed that some guns come with 1 or 2 shipped novak mags.  Isn't novak the same as ACT-Mag or am I mistaken?  www.topgunsupply.com/ACT-MAG-1911-Govt-.45-ACP-8rd-magazine-BLUE-pr-23.html

Secondly, asides from Wilson Combat mags(i've got 2 on the way), would you guys recommend other brands?

A vote for McCormick mags here. I've never had any issues with them.

I'll put in a vote of confidence for McCormick 8rd PowerMags. I have 5 that I use with my pistol, and I have no complaints about their performance so far.

ACT/Novak/Wolff, Wilson's, Cobra.  I don't care for McCormicks.

I've noticed CMC's tend to not fall free from guns more often than WC mags. In my experiences, anyway.

I can't speak for CMCs or the new ETMs but the Wilson 47ds that I finally got rid of were terrible about spreading/widening.  This causes several problems and dropping free was one of them.

I have started trying the Tripp mags and so far have been happy.  They are much easier to seat than the 47s also.

I'm really impressed with the design and features of the Tripps. Time will tell.
