1911 magazine ..?

[Will Miller]

People have been telling me that you can now buy 10 rd standard 1911 mags,i have seen 8 rd mags galore.but are these 10 rd ones they are talking about for the hi-cap 1911 models or will they work with a standard 1911 gun...?

I don't know of any standard 1911 that comes with a 10 round mag. There are plenty of after market 10 round mags out there made by just about every one and you can find them just about any where.:cool:

They are more than likely talking about these:

They will fit in your Gov't model - but they will extend 1 to 2 inches below the mag well - I also know that some will give you issues due to the bumper pad at the base of the mag - if you over insert on some models, the gun will fail to battery -nif too short you have mag droppage during firing - I recommend the Wlson mags if you do decide to go this route - the plastic one piece follower helps with feeding and the magwell stop is welded to the mag body - the others typically use a plastic skirt type which can get wore out easy and will cause the problems I listed above. Stay away from the products listed as Double Stack which is how they refer to the high capacity "built" guns like the para for instance.
