1911 Questions

[Redram]

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.

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.
