Just wondered what's the best or favorite 1911 mag. I got 4 mags, and none of them will feed swc and sometimes jhp reliably. I got 2 factory, 1 Promag, and a Nighthawk. None have amazed me yet. Thanks
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

Chip McCormick Powermags have been good for me.

Mec-Gar
Check Mate
I have no use for SWC bullets in a .45 auto, so I can't say what would work best with them (wadcutter feed lips, for starters, but beyond that, I don't know). But I have no problems with any kind of JHP I have tried so far in any of my pistols.

Chip McCormick Powermags have been good for me. ^^^This^^^ They feed every type of bullet I handload. From SWC’s to WFN SWC’s, to every type of factory JHP. I also have some Wilson Combat 8 rounders, too. They work well with the JHP stuff, but are not super reliable like the Chip McCormick Power Mags with every type of bullet & ammo.

When I was slumming a 1911, the Wilson Combat 47D was the mag that worked in multiple pistols.

Thanks guys. I looked on a Youtube video and the guy on there suggested Sig Sauer. Almost nobody really suggests polishing feed ramp anymore. That's what the old guys always did. Took care of the bullshit, if it was done right.

Chip McCormick - especially with the 10mm. The Wilson 47D is fine for the .45 ACP

Wilson ETM’s are the ones that I stuck with, my 47D’s all got Tripp Super 7 kits in them.
The 8 round 47D’s are in a 7 round tube, the ETM’s are in a longer tube designed for 8 rounds and have a stronger spring.

CMC powermags
Wilson 47D with new follower and spring
Read up on 1911 mag feed lip design.
+1 on what others said about .45 8rd in 7rd length tubes.
I'd not screw with the ramp.
A bunch of 1911 fail to feed are caused by poorly fit extractors. Some guns come with poorly done barrel ramps.

I used Shooting Star(McCormick) 8 rounders(45ACP) for the 5-6 years I shot IPSC, with some Wilson thrown in. I eventually gravitated toward Wilson 8 rounders & like them enough that I have no desire to mess with others besides Tripps. I've not tried The Tripps, but a friend that is very much in the know of such things & still competes is a fan of them.
FWIW, Wilson owns McCormick mags now I believe.
Now, poor function of SWC's & HP's................ So many variables here, no mag could solve the problem. Reloads?? if so, cartridge OAL is very critical, as is proper crimp. Beyond that... the gun can offer a multitude of problems.
Particulars?

Particulars? Yep very true. Damn I have a military mag made in 1924 that feeds SWC and HP just fine.
