Standard 1911 Government capacity

[nairbg]

What is the original mag capacity of the standard .45 ACP Government Model 1911? I'm seeing 7 and I'm seeing 8.

Never mind the +1 in the pipe..............

Colt Government = The Original 1911

Originally supplied with 7 shot magazines...

A box of 50 rounds breaks up perfectly into 7 loaded magazines and one round in the pipe

7 x 7 = 49...+1 = 50
