Where to buy 1911 mags?

[StainlessFan]

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering, where do y'all get your 1911 magazines?

I've always used Brownells in the past for parts, but they won't ship Tripp magazines up here as they are not a registered manufacturer... Also the $100 limit is brutal for a mag that costs $35 a pop, makes it so you can only order 2 at a time.

Is there a Canadian distributor for Wilson/Tripp mags at a decent price?

Thanks!

We're a Tripp dealer. Our next shipment is scheduled to arrive in a couple weeks. We would encourage you to place a backorder to ensure you get some mags though. They've been very popular to date.

*cough* wolverine, $18 for 8rd mags *cough*
good mags, nice follower, made by ACT-MAG, even though wolverine lists them as SAM

I second that, Wolverine Supplies for the SAM 17.99 dollar 8 round mags. They are made by ACT in Italy and are top notch...

Thanks for the info guys, 18.99 is a pretty killer price for a reliable 8 rd!

I'll probably grab a couple of the tripp mags too just to see what all the hype is about...

Another vote for these. I got mine at Dlask, but they are the same thing and have been flawless through ~1500 rounds.

Doing some research on the ACT-MAGs.... Have any of you guys had a problem with the feed lips cracking? Seems to be a common issue, unless they have recently resolved it.

 

[BP7]

I haven't had mine for more than a few weeks, so they haven't had the chance to get beat up enough to crack lips, or even indicate if cracked lips are likely to be forthcoming.

They corrected that a long time ago....

Do you only buy 2 mags at a time? Or are they somehow exempt from the $100 limit?

I only bought 2 I don't think anyone is exempt from the $100 limit. but they're good mags well worth the money.

I just wait for Wilson 3-packs to go on sale for $99, and buy then. It happens a couple of times a year.

The ACT mags are okay. I have maybe half a dozen. They are not in the same league as Wilsons, though.

What about Chip McCormick magazines? Are they in the same class as Tripp?

I haven't used a CMC in years but they used to be my favourites. IMO nothing is as good as the Wilson ETMs, but after that I would be pretty happy with CMCs or Tripps.

Just ordered 2 from wolverine thanks for the tip!

Your particular gun may or may not like any particular 1911 magazine, high-end or not. Same as all 1911s. I love my CMC Power mags to bits. I think the design is better than all others, personally, and they work in my gun.
