    Pretty sure they are...i used 45-08 in 1911's. Look at the thickness of the 1911 barrel at the chamber. To screw a barrel into an Enfield or Mauser receiver,they have to be 4 times the material.Can't blow that up with whatever fits in a 45 acp case.

    So these work with the unmodified 1911 mags? Early kit models had a rib soldered to the back of the 1911 mag.

    Yes, the .45 mags are unmodified.
    There is no positive stop. You insert it till there is a click. If you keep pushing, it keeps going further in, which will foul the bolt.

    No. Before Wolverines made these available, me and a buddy were trying to figure an alternative... Thought about welding a uzi mag into a LE mag. But the magwell tapers and magazine is too wide. The mag had to sit far back, that gun probably wouldn't chamber well, due to a huge gap between the mag and the chamber.

    1911 mags are cheap enough.

    Not everything has to take Glock magazines.

    ETA on these?
    Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

    Just got mine. Very excited to see it in action. Any recommendations for sights? I'm going to need front and rear irons or a rail or something.

    One thing that needs to be sorted is an ejector. You do need a method to kick that shell out.
