1911 Questions

[Jack]

I've acquired a bunch of different 1911 magazines over the years. A lot of them I'll use at the range, but not for carry.
The milsurp and milspec ones are often cheap- but, test those in your gun- some are reliable, some aren't.
My gun didn't like McCormicks until I learned a little trick- the slide stop cut on the McCormicks would bind on the slide stop in my gun (the slide stop is original, NOT an aftermarket) until I learned to take a file to the right place on the McCormick- then they work like a charm. Two minutes with a needle file is worth the savings, for me, over some of the premium magazines. I suppose the lesson there is, every gun has its preferences.
The Wilsons are not cheap, but they are excellent. Ed Brown makes one that's very good, too, IMO.
For carry, I use only Brown's or Wilson's.
