I do not ever remember seeing a 1911 in 40S&W? View attachment 36222
Seen 9's, 38's, 38 supers, 10's never seen a 40s&w and of course 45's

Have you guys seen them?
Years ago I remember seeing a govt size Springfield in 40 cal in my local gunsmith/ gun store. Was not interested and didn't look but I have seen one.

Well for that one guy that has that 40cal 1911. CDNN has magazines in both blue & nickel on sale. Be careful that you don't get caught in the stampede for them.

i like Mecgar mags. i was TOLD that 45 and 10mm are interchangeable.
if thats the case, wouldnt 45 and 10 work in a 40 mag?

I don't think that 10 and 45 would be good idea. Different dia. and length
A 10mm mag might? work with 40cal rounds. The 40 is the same dia. just shorter.
but everyone has weapons because you might need that gun to work correctly and I would hate to find out that your weapon doesn't work right when might need it because you didn't use the correct magazines.

I'm a 10mm fan boy. The mags for 10mm will work with .40, but I haven't tried a .40 mag with 10mm.
My interest level is up now, so I'll see if they are interchangeable tomorrow in that direction.
.45 will definitely not work.

I have this one that I pieced together from a complete Tisas commander frame and what is thought to be a Caspian slide and Colt barrel. However I am not sure about the slide and barrel.

It's a decent shooter. The one .40 mag that I have doesn't feed reliably but I tried a few .45 mags and have two that feed the .40 just fine.

Are you going to buy some of those mags? and if you do, let us know how they worked.

Well now I can say that I do know of someone that has a 40cal 1911 and that the 40cal 1911 is for real.

That's a nice looking gun. I have a franken gun made from a Springfield. It's the WW model kings ( I think) short black trigger. Retro rear sight black Novak front sight a colt thumb safety and stock barrel. It also has a short wide hammer on it. It's my version of a tribute to the original GSP. I love it. I don't always agree with Col. Cooper, but I do go along w
It's his theory that what's really needed is sights you can see a trigger you can use and 100% reliability my Franken gun passes this test just fine.
 
I've posted this before.., I have a Colt Delta Elite that I had my gunsmith fit a Nowlin 40 S&W barrel, so I could shoot my Delta @my club's indoor range ( that doesn't allow 10mm , considering it a magnum rnd.) I like & use Mec-Gar magazines, in all my pistols that Mec-Gar makes mags for. My Delta will shoot 40 s&w in a 10mm magazine, but I've bought 40 S&W magazine for my Delta. Since the 40 S&W is a little shorter in OAL than 10mm, the mags are slightly different. I can use either mag in shooting 40 in my Delta. I've never tried using a 45 mag..seems it would be doubtful, as the 45 rnd is a lot shorter & wider than 10 or 40.
 
Para Ordinance used to make1911's in 40 S&W. I wanted a dbl. stack in that caliber (Para P-16)
but the site was sold out of them when I went to order one.
 
re-reading this thread, saw a post that CDNN had mec-gar mags on sale.
Checked my usual source, GUNMAGWAREHOUSE, they've got the same mags @ considerably lower price than CDNN's salesprice.
I used to buy mags from CDNN..but found GMW had better selection &prices..It's my go-to for new mags.

I probably won't buy any more .40 cal mags since I have a few .45 mags that do feed reliably. I've marked them with a paint pen as .40 to keep them separated.
