Ok, don't bust my Nxts to bad, but I have a Springfield Loaded 1911 and I have the mags that came with it. Everybody tells me to get Wilson Combat mags, Ect. Why won't my OEM mags work ?? What can I do to fix them ?? FLUFF |

IIRC, Springfield OEM mags use a ever-so-slightly tapered feed lip - not tapered to the degree of the so called Colt "hybrid" magazines, which I greatly prefer over Wilsons, but tapered none the less. If they work well there's no issue using them. If they don't work well, get a different design. It's as simple as that!

I have 2 of the original SA mags that came with my loaded. I added 4 Wilson 47Ds to have 6 loaded mags when I am match shooting. I can detect no difference if the mags. All work properly and have given me no malfunctions. I run through a lot of ammo shooting plates and bullseye, and practicing for both, so a lot of ammo has gone through all of the mags. Shoot yours and add more if you want more, but you don't need to replace them. The OEMs are good. Jim |
| The Tripp Research Cobra Mag has a pretty strong following. The have some upgrade kits too. |
To "fix' the SA mags is simple. Replace the spring and follower with Wilson Combat parts. Next do the same with the tube and floor plate  .Seriously though, if they work, use them. But when you buy extras, buy one of the higher end mags available for the 1911. Whatever flavor you choose, but go high end. |
