promising but no (18/01/2018)

on the positive side, this is one of very few magazines on the market with hybrid feed lips. Which means it feeds as 1911 was designed to feed, or close to it. And, it's a flush fitting 8rd magazine, which is nice.

On the negative side, 1) it consistently fails limp wristing test through the top 3 rounds and 2) it overrides the mag catch, which is not a trivial failure. It remains to be seen if this can be remedied, but as it comes from the factory this magazine is unfortunately unacceptable.

Solid performer, simple (29/01/2010)

Been using these mags for 7 years now. No rust yet. Follower design engages slide stop every time I run empty, and the feed lips are holding. If you reload semi-wadcutters, load up a few dummy rounds first to get the case OAL correct to ensure flawless magazine function. The only negative I can think of is that the great follower design is tricky to remove for magazine cleaning and inspection.

100% (05/03/2011)

Springfield provided these mags with all three 1911s I own. I have about 20 of them and not one has ever failed me. They may not look like they are made of quality but trust me, they will work!

Great quality - Great price! (13/02/2012)

Excellent value. So dependable that I have been using in my carry gun for 15+ years. Suggest if used for competition that rubber bumpers be used; any magazine can only withstand so many speed change drops to the ground. Disassembly not difficult with a short piece of wood ruler (to depress follower) and small punch to hold spring. Round follower works exceptionally well.

Breakage/wad feeding problems (25/12/2012)

Had floorplate fall off, MF replaced with one that wouldn't feed 190 gr lee wheelweight cast semi-wad.
Other mag worked fine.

Solid and Simple (18/08/2015)

I purchased three of these and so far I am happy. They work great in my 1911. Feeding and performance is as good as my 47Ds, CMC Power mags and CheckMate 7rnd hybrid feed-lip w/ dimpled follower. The rounded follower design helps to mimic a round below the last round and will ensure positive ejection should your extractor fail. Removal of the follower for magazine cleaning takes a little more effort. Overall, I think it is a great design and I have no complaints.

No HP or SWC (26/11/2015)

i bought 6 of these earlier this year, as arrived none would feed high performance .45-185gr-HP or .45-185gr-SW. when i went to open the feed lips to decrease the feed angle, the feed lips cracked on 3 of the 6, making them useless. buy something else.

Worked well for a long time (24/03/2016)

Have used these mags a lot. Have only had spring issues with one. After countless speed and tac reloads finally cracked the welds and bent the bases on several of these mags. Other than that for the price they have been great mags and have carried them for duty for many years.

Sub part welds (06/07/2016)

I received two of these mags for use in my 1911 and BOTH of the base plates broke off in the same manner. I had seven round in the mag and when I tried to chamber a round, the base plate fell off, along with the spring, follower and the rest of the ammo. I will never buy these again.

Good product (13/03/2017)

I bought 2 of these mags for my Series 70 Colt. Fit was perfect and worked flawlessly. Good product. Better then my Colt Mags. I like the SS followers.
