By the way as an add. that Rock Island is a good 1911a1, and it will take any of the standard 1911a1 parts. You should already have novak sights on it.
Oh and here is what Wilson says on their web page about their magazines. Quote:

I was not sure about what sights are on it. I wanted to replace them with tritium sights. That was the main concern I had about the gun was the sights.
As far as the magazines go, I have had great luck in the past with gun show magazines (GI mil-spec). With the price being low on them, if you find a bad one, you are only out about $7.00. One more thing, the Rock Island came with one Mec-Gar magazine as standard issue. Regarding your comment about the 30/30 winchester ammo in a marlin rifle. I was in a gun shop and overheard a guy wanting 308 Browning ammo. The store owner told him he had a 308 Win, but the guy argued and stormed out of the store looking for a box of 308 Browning the day before deer season. Some people should not be allowed to own guns, I guess, if they don't know what they are doing.

Small Clearification
GoodOlBoy, (Son of Mine)
I believe if you check your Wilson Combat magazines you will find the the one's I use and that I bought you are the 47DE. The differance is that the bumper pad on the bottom is a little thicker. The other thing is that the Commander or Combat Commander and the officers models in their various guises will take a full size 1911 or 1911A1 magazine. But you can not go the other way, because the shorter magazines will not seat into the grip of a full size, etc., etc,. The Wilson Magazines cost more than a lot of the others especially the mil spec. mags but from personnel experience and from the experiences of several people that I would trust my life and the lives of my family to protect have never had a Wilson fail or jam. That same can not be said about all of the others no matter what the price. There are a whole bunch of magazines that are very good but I'll stick with Wilson, they have never let me down.
