10-round magazines for your 1911?

[ATCclears]

I was reading the June issue of American Rifleman and noticed that several companies are now offering 10-round magazines for the 1911. Anyone using them? Happy with the result?

I have one that came with mine used when I got it.

Honestly, I don't like the feel or look.

It's on par with a Beretta 92 or Glock G17 with a 32 round stick in it.

We all were using them back in the 90s in USPSA.

Wilson and CMC are fine. Those are the ones we used.

I have used Chip McCormik for decades in mine. Have a dozen or so of them. Love them.

I have the Wilson Combat 10 round mags and like them for practice and training. I have never had any issues with them malfunction-wise. I don't carry them while I am carrying concealed. I generally carry 8 round Wilson Combats.

 

[Sporting Systems]

Wilson and Chip are both good mags. I use them both. They are the only mags I'll use, 7, 8 or 10 round.

I've stuck with 7 and 8 rounders on the 1911. I have one 10 that runs fine. It may be a Chip McCormick.

My standard 1911 10mm has flush fit 10 rounders, the factory one holds 10, but will not seat in the frame fully stoked, so It's a 9 rounder! I also have 5 Chip McCormics that are flush fit 10 rounders and they work perfectly!

I have 7 of them 4 are no brand name I got them off eBay from a guy in Florida the other 3 are Wilson combat they all work I like the Wilson combat because they have the big base plate.

And I have a bunch of 8 round ones 12 according to the picture I got some 7 round ones two somewhere

 

[Ripcord]

I carry the Wilson 10 rounder as my extra belt carry mag.

 

[Koda]

I used to want one, but the price is too high for something that has no practical value in a 1911 other than range use. I do have an adapter base to used an 8rd govt mag in an officers frame, but even that I don't ever use.

When I had my 1911 in 45 I used the CMC 10 rounders - worked great and used it when I shot speed steel.

 

[SIG34]

They work fine but to bulky lord I'm surprised you need more then 1 round of Gods 45acp !

 

[Lindy]

I have been using a 10 round RAM-LINE In my 1911A1 competition model for 20 years or so. I like it !

Good Shooting

I got a Mac gar 10 rounder in 45 and it works well.

In years past when I generally packed a Colt Combat Commander edc, there were 8-rounders available (Wilson, maybe??) which sat pretty much flush in the grip. I don't know why they havent become standard for the 1911 pistols, they worked just fine and gave that extra round. Kinda unimportant now, since I came into a gen3 Glock 21- 14 rounds of .45acp goodness!.

10 rounders....just because we can.

flush 8-rounders are very common from several manufacturers but Ive never been able to figure out why even today some 1911 manufacturers still ship new pistols with 7 rounders either.

I have CMC and Wilson 10 rounders and have gotten years of trouble free use.
