what 1911-magazines to get?

[Don'tkillbill]

I have a 10 round Chip McCormick and it is great, also a mec gar in 8 rounds. They both perform feed every time.

Wilson 47D or wilson elite.

I had problems with chip power mag in my SW1911

Norinco

kidding, get chip

You may laugh, but I have a bunch of stainless colt mags that I just tossed in the garbage. I have 4 Norinco mags that have always run 100%. I kept them when I bought my Sig 1911, and they still run flawlessly.

 

[prevost12]

why would you toss them!! you can always use more mags

 

[misanthropist]

I've had more norinco mags explode on contact with the ground than any other brand. I consider them "single use disposable mags". They may run forever for others, but I have had about half of all the ones I've ever owned (and Norinco 1911s are something I like so I've had a few) blow off floorplates when hitting concrete, empty.

Thanks guys. Will keep a lookout on the next gunshow for these brands.

 

[misanthropist]

Definitely the big 3 are Wilson, Chip McCormick, and Tripp. I think most would agree that Wilsons are your best bet. Metalform is the only other name I can think of that gets tossed around in a serious way with the other 3, so if your options are limited over there (and I'm guessing on 1911 stuff maybe they are?) that's another contender to try out.

My Mec-Gar mags do the job but I still prefer my Wilson's.

Any Canadian retailer sell Wilson Combat 1911 mags?

Not on their site, but I'll ask them. If not, I will buy from Brownell's.

I've actually never had a problem with mine either. They look like trash but seem to be good so far.

Tripp - GREAT working, GREAT, looking they ship easy peasy to Canada. Virgil Tripp is a class A++ guy.

There are something like 80 different 1911 mags, often with only slight changes to the followers.

Wilson combat or Chip McCormick.

Wilson Combat is the way to go in my opinion.
