    Good cheap 1911 magazines?

    Anyone know where I can find good cheaply priced 1911 magazines?

    What is the cheapest known 1911 magazine that contains a anti tilt follower?

      Cheap mags won't be cheap, because you'll be scrapping them and getting better ones.

      Don't go cheap on mags, get yourself some Wilson 47Ds / Chip McCormick Powermags/ Tripp Research mags.

      Look here and on arfcom, you can usually find them for $25 each lightly used.

        Cheap and good rarely go together. You will save yourself money in the long run by buying good quality mags to start with. Don't ask me how I know.

          When it comes to ammo/magazine feeding, don't go cheap. Your life may depend it.

          Google - Top Gun Supply in Ohio for quality 1911 magazines at realistic prices.

            I agree Wilson 47D mags are top notch, but the mags I linked are the same as I carried (was issued, Go Navy!) when I was gunning up every day, and make great beater/range mags.

                I like Checkmate magazines. I got them from Top Gun Supply for pretty cheap and they work really well! I got the extended 8 rounders with slam pad.

                Check-Mate Gov't 1911 .45 CAL stainless steel magazine with a 8RD capacity, welded floorplate, Check-Mate skirted follower with dimple, hybrid feed lips and a Hi-Performance 8RD magazine spring.

                  Like others have written, don't get cheap 1911 mags. You'll end up with junk.
                  Wilsons, Tripp or McCormick are the way to go. Much cheaper in the long run.

                    If you want beater range mags on the cheap, then go for whatever. If you are buying mags to compete with or bet your life on then skimping should be out of the equation.

                    IMO, McCormick Powermags are excellent quality at a comfortable price and are the best compromise.

                      It depends on what the magazines are for. Like others have said, cheap magazines are ok for range use but reliable quality magazines are a must for SD. I use Wilson Combat magazines and am very happy with them.

                        Chip McCormick power mags.
                        $19-25
                        Even the best 1911 mags are cheap.

                          metalform is the cheapest reliable mags.

                            I had my doubts when I bought them for the price. I am a believer, and will only get CHIPs.

                              If you need an anti-tilt follower in a full sized mag then go with McCormick Powermag Plus.
