| I'm looking to stock up on some 1911 mags, where is the best place to get some decent priced ones? thanks guys |
|
I love the 8 round Tripp Research Cobra mags. They cost a few bucks more, but have been 100% for me. You can get them directly from Tripp http://www.trippresearch.com/
If I was you, I'd buy 3 of them and test in your gun. If they work for you, then get some more. |

for 7 rounders ... just about any are good - colt factory ect..
for 8 rounds. - trully the only one reliable are those with an extented tube. ie ed brown 8 pack, tripp mags, and checkmate, and beleive the cmc mags are extented as well. personally i just bought 40 8 rounders from checkmate directly. they are an oem supplier of magazines for colt, springer and a few other. $24.5 a magzine with hybtid followrs and feed lips with remoable basepad. |
| Don't buy too many unless you know they work for you. I've got 12 from SA that work good for three of my 1911's made by Metalform. I also have 15 Kimpro tac-mags. The Kimpro's have been used in competition and when the springs get weak they were replaced by Tripp springs and followers. For about $17 each these mags work for me. The Kimpro can be found at The Armory and the Metalform from Springfield Arms (use the Loaded coupon for $10 each). |

For two or three more weeks, Metalform has their blue 7 rounders on sale 1/2 price about. See the post on this page for the links. Great deal on high quality mags (they are a Colt OEM maker, not a fly-by night outfit or Asian fakes). Thanks I ordered a few of these, gonna try them out in my Kimber. |
