Same here. But I've found most 1911 mags work well in full size 45's.
No, not really.
If you think that, then you haven't been exposed to many 1911's, especially older, non-throated barrel ones, or to various shaped wad cutters & hollow point bullet designs.
Most newer pistols are definitely more forgiving & have nicely throated barrels, & most magazines are also better but all combinations of barrels, bullets & mags are not necessarily equal.
The newest Kimber mags, for example, that I have are maybe 5 year old vintage, & the oldest are maybe 10 years old vintage & both have different followers. I've shot both versions enough to know that neither works all the time. Ditto for numerous other brands.
With really good mags like Tripp, Wilson & McCormick, available, there is little reason to fool with others that are "just as good", but really aren't if you shoot them enough.
