Well I saw these at Gunmagwarehouse and of course I had to buy a few. My stock 1911 mags were all seven rounders and these were eight so I thought I needed them. I've shot them several times and they've functioned without issues. I would be confident carrying these, plus I have to say I love the message engraved on the side.

The 1911 was designed for seven round mags. Extra rounds both add and lower pressure at different points in the cycle.

I own forty or fifty mags for my 1911s. All of them are seven rounds.

If you need more ammo, train reload drills. If you own eight round mags, train jam drills.

My Wilson 8 round mags work just fine in my Kimber.

I have been a die hard fan of Wilson Combat ..... until recently. I have been shooting a commander of WC using new mags. The gun started having issues. With new mag out of the wrapper I stared seeing feeding problems and failure to lock the slide back on the last round. I could not find an issue so WC looked at the gun. Nothing was found wrong but I continued to have issues. I took advantage of Ed Brown's trade in any magazine and get one of theirs for $10. No problems with the gun since. My older WC mags work fine. I've heard comments from other shooters they had some issues with new mags from WC also. I'll chock it up to QA from a specific lot.
8 rounders are all I'll use in my Govt and Commander models.

I have found that the new Wilson mags need to be loaded and then I let them sit for a week before using them to set the springs. With that I have not had any issues.

What's your go to brand for a carry magazine?7 round or 8 round(yes I know 8 rounders are just as reliable).

I like Wilson mags. They have never done me wrong.

Wilson Combat 8rd ETMs or Tripp Cobra Mags 8rd

Jammer Six · May 11, 2019

I like Wilson and Metalform magazines. In seven rounds.

Spokes · May 11, 2019

Colt seven rounders or Chip McCormick Power PLUS eight rounders..

Reb Tyree · Oct 3, 2019

I'm a Wilson Combat fan, 47d and the ETM, also Chip McCormick 10 round power mags on my belt. Both 7 & 8 round WC mags run fine in my Kimbers, never had any problems.

I looked it up to make sure I had the correct model #. I have the 2 original magazines for my SS Colt Commander - ALL the rest are Wilson Combat 500 - not one single problem, best materials and easy to clean !

Wilson Combat 500 - 1911 Elite Tactical Magazine, .45 ACP, Full-Size, 8 Round, ETM Base Pad
" No-Risk Service Policy - If It Breaks from Normal Use, We Replace It ! "

I had ordered one of the new Chip McCormick mags, CMC Products' RPM or Railed Power Mags, but had major loading problems with rounds feeding in my Colt. They had some disclamer about issues in some pistols. I wasn't inclined to allow that for a Colt, I needed gun mod(s) to make their magazines work.
YMMV, but I requested and they gave me a full refund inc. shipping!!

I'm very pleased with all my Wilson Combat mags!
