What is wrong with your Kimber mags? I love Mec-gars myself, always available, quality and inexpensive. -

I've found Chip McCormick (CMC) magazines to be more reliable than Wilson 47D and Kimbers due to their stronger springs and strong bodies. But I only recommend CMC for steel framed 1911s due to follower tilt. They do make an anti-tilt (PowerMag+) version for aluminum framed pistols but I haven't put in enough trigger time with them yet to recommend them."Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." --FREDERIC BASTIAT--

Kimber mags are AWFUL.
After going Wilson, I've had zero problems. Highly recommended.Comment

I have both Wilson ETM's and CMC powermags for my 1911. They both work great. Wilson just released a new "flat-wire" ETM and I picked one up. Its a bit more pricey but should last longer and feeds flawlessly.Comment

Tripp Research Cobra Mags and CMC mags are the only two I recommend. Go with the Tripps for alloy frames."You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Wilson ETM's or Tripp. The 47D's are alright too."Kestryll I wanna lick your doughnut."

I use nothing but Chip McCormick and Wilson Combat magazines in my 1911. They have been flawless.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

Chip and Tripp both have been problem free for me. My Springfield oem mags have been good as well.Comment

I have 2 Kimber mags and both are AWFUL!!! I have 2 other mags which are CMC, much better quality all away around.Comment

My Sprinfield Trophy Match likes Tripp Research Cobra Mags also.
I even put Tripp Super 7 Upgrade Kits in my factory Springfield Mags (I wanted solid followers and a stiffer springs), and they run great.
Maybe the Super 7 Upgrade Kit will help out your Kimber Mags, without you buying brand new mags. The Super 7 Kits are $8.95 each.Comment
