1911 9 mm magazines ?

[Brewster20]

Hi folks, I just bought a 1911 Colt Competition in 9mm off the EE here, and am wondering about the magazines, a few questions....I am used to a Colt in .45, but as far as 9mm goes,this is my first. I see magazines with different capacities, ie 7 round, 10 round etc...will all these in 9mm fit my Colt ? Also, it has a magwell, the type that is part of the mainspring housing. Right now the gun has a Kimber magazine with a bumper attached, which is really easy to insert, but does that mean I will need mag bumpers on any new mags as well ? (fitting the mag without the bumper on it is a bit awkward with the magwell ) Since I'm not really into action shooting, (getting a bit old !!) should I remove the magwell and bumpers ?
And, what are good quality magazines, and where is a good supply in 9mm...?
And...where in Canada can you get factory Colt magazines ? I have looked, but they are scarce as hens teeth !

Thanks

I have bought and used the kimber 1911 9mm mags in mine and they are great . Most stores seem to sell them. There are many other brand 9 MM 1911 mags out there as well. Lots of sponsor sites usually have stock.

I had two Tripp Cobra 10-rd mags that were flawless in my Norkie 1911.

The two original Norkie mags had followers that needed a little filing. They too were flawless after filing.

X2 For the Cobra Tripp magazines. They have worked flawlessly in all my 1911's.

I’ve always used MecGars for Wild bunch, in fact if I am buying aftermarket mags for anything I always get MecGars

I have experience with Metalform 9mm magazines, with the "Springfield front ramp" configuration. Very reliable.
Wilson combat magazines in 9mm are supposed to be reliable but I have no experience with those.

I use wilson combat 1911 9mm etm mags. They are top quality and always reliable.

Wilson Combat and Tripp Cobra's for me in my S&W Performance Center Pro. Never had an issue

Wilson Combat, Dan Wesson and Ed Brown magazines all work for me with no problems.
I use them in a DW Guardian and a DW Specialist.

I use Wilson Combat or Tripp Cobras in IPSC....top quality mags.
10 bullets in 9mm.
Even with a magwell, you won't have any problem because the mags have a rubber base long enough for speed reloads.
And yes, they fit a Colt Competition properly.
Brownell's sometimes sells packs of 3 WC.
