Wilson Combat and Chip McCormick are the only two I carry.

Being cheap with magazines is like being cheap with a parachute, and relying on "hope" as your strategy.

Wilson Combat, Tripp Cobra mags, followed by Chip McCormick. All about the same.

Yep, and well said. Not much worse than a “pretty good” parachute.

Went through 300 rounds of .45 ACP loaded with 200-grain H&G #68 LSWC a week ago.

Wilson Combat 8-round Elite Tacticals through my Les Baer.

No hiccups.

Headed out there later with same setup.

I like the Wilson Combats. Heard the Chips are awesome too, but no experience with them.


Old pic, but except for the factory ammo and a few non-Wilson mags, all this is headed to the range with me.

Rick,

You did well getting that gun.

That gun, combined great mags and a bunch of H&G #68s is pretty darn hard to beat.

You can use that bullet loaded light for target work, or loaded hot for defense and have everything covered.

Checkmate and Megyar also make pretty good magazines for the 1911 in .45. I have a couple of each, along with many others, all seem to work just fine with my 200g. SWC or hardball.

Wilson ETM and 47D, your gun might need help on the feed ramp and throat. Tiny changes can make a bit difference
