That seems to be tallied by specific brand/model. Kevin's statement wasn't that the S&W 1911 Sc was the best selling, but the 1911, which is clearly the case, but mainly because it's so all encompassing a category.

The truth is that the average civilian will carry the pistol for a long time before they ever have to fire it to save their life. I doubt many ever get fired at all. whelennut

I love my Sig 223 in 40 S&W, but I just can't get by without a 1911, so I have this bad boy on order with a few extras being added.

You can take a reliable 1911 and turn it into a jam sandwich with crap mags. I've been shooting them since the 70's and I learned my lesson on $5 Colt-marked gunshow mags a long time ago. Bought 10 at that price some years back... 3 were so bad I took a hammer to them.
Good mags? For long time I used the Metalform blue 7 round mags with the welded baseplate and round follower. I recommended them until I saw reports of batches getting out with soft springs.
Then a friend gave me a couple of Chip McCormick Powermags and I've used a dozen for the last ten years. Great mags, no complaints. I recently bought 4 CMC 'Classic' mags which are blue 8 round flush fit mags that look GI, except for the # of holes in the sides and tapped base-pad holes in the floor-plate. These also have worked 100% for me.
The Colt Checkmates are also very good magazines.
Don't piss your money away on cheap 1911 mags of unknown origin. Pay a little more for good name-brand mags and if a problem crops up, you've already eliminated a prime source of them.
