Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Why does the original 1911 design have only 7 rounds...was asked?

Browning designed the 1911 as a complete package which includes the 7 round magazine. Change any one item and you have changed the package. I use 7 round magazines as I try to stay as close to the original design as possible. If others use larger capacity magazines with no problem in the 1911 I say good for them.
