| Are Original Equipment mags very nice? |

From whom, sir? Colt? Springfield? Para? Llama?
Some folks have had terrible results from OEM mags & others have had nothing but 100% reliability with theirs & many folks are a sliding scale in between. Give us a bit more detail & we can give you a better answer, IMO. |

Im not sure if I understand your responses, does original equipment mean the mags that come with your gun, or is it a specific company? I just want some sub $10 mags for my 1911 that work (if possible). OEM = orig equip of the manufacturer. Colt mags that come w your Colt, Kimber mags that come with your Kimber, and the replacement mags that come from those companies. identical to those that came w your 1911. price AND quality varies widely with the various magazines for 1911s. You can get cheap $7 mags that happen to work well in your 1911 and the next 5 you buy are absolute crap. If this is only for range use and you're that cheap then you can try rolling the dice with some of these. If you want to get the job right the first time and buy once, or if this is for defense purposes, then you are going to have to step up. Chip McCormick Power Mags (NOT Shooting Stars) seem to be the cheapest magazine that gets the green light with most 1911 guys. I don't settle for anything less than Wilson, but Tripp comes highly recommended as well. |
| Just checked them out. They look like ass warmed over and I wouldn't waste a penny on them. I'm almost certain the name brand or model name of these generic mags is "OE/Original Equipment" to dupe unversed consumers like you into buying a crap product that you think is some factory mag when it is nothing but bottom of the barrel aftermarket junk. Will they work? Maybe, maybe not, maybe for a little while. My advice for everything 1911 related is to buy quality and you buy once. |
