1911 Magazines - Which ones are good?

[nickvig]

I had a 47d for my Springfield and for some reason the slide would not lock up after the 8th round. Im not sure if it was out of speck or what? It worked just fine in my friends dan wesson tho, so who knows? Maybe they just dont work on Springfield's ? Anyone else here have the same problem? On a nother note, everything else I have from wilson combat worked great (extended slide release & FLGR).

That is normal for some guns. The Wilson magazines use a very lightweight follower spring and sometimes do not have enough spring pressure to push the slide lock into position on the last round. You can try switching the spring or having a smith tune your slide lock to get it to work with those mags.

In my opinion if your pistol won't work with factory magazines there is something wrong with the gun

I use the Wilson combat mags in my Kimber TLE II with no problems with various ammo types.

I would try out a few different brands first before deciding to buy. I prefer the ACT/Novak Mags because they work good, have a nice finish, and metal followers that wont gouge your frame. I also like the Wilson Combats. I did have some trouble with the Colt and Tripp Magazines.

Good point. I'll give a few other mags a try. If it's still a problem, I'll have to utilize Springfield Armory's lifetime warranty.

Wilson 47ds work perfectly in my SA Loaded, haven't tried anything else because I never found the need.

I run Wilson Combat 47D magazines in my SA MC Operator and I've never had any problems.

I have a few of the WC 47D magazines.

Just curious, anyone have any good or bad experiences with the Kimber Kim-Pro magazines?
