BEST MAG FOR 1911A1...???? WHICH ONE?

From personal experience I still like Colt magazines and also like the MecGar.

Wilson for EDC, any of the others for the range, till they fail, then those don't make the trip home.

Wilson Combat (47D) or Chip McCormick Power Mags. Don't go cheap on magazines. Save your money elsewhere. You want reliability and durability.

I just ordered 5 Ed Brown 7rd 45 mags 109.00 + shipping of course. I think it was 14.00 for that. I really like the Ed Brown 7 rounders.

I have used several, one not mentioned that I do like are the E-Lander mags. I also have Ed Brown which work well and no issues.

YouTube channel Beretta9mmUSA used to push the Elander mags, never used or even seen one but as long as they work

Thought I'd already offered my opinion on the best mag for a 1911..
the answer is......... one that works!

Seriously, I've owned a bunch of 1911's, different sizes, calibers, & along with them, a wide variety of brands of magazines.
I'm of the opinion that a properly set up 1911 should function properly with ANY brand magazine that's in spec..

One should use a mag in their 1911 that works..best determined by using a particular magazine in a specific 1911.
In my 40+ yrs shooting 1911's, I've had maybe 2 magazines that didn't work properly...they were cheap / junk mags.

If a 1911 is having an issue with a magazine, I'd see if it works in other 1911s..if it does ,
then take a look @ why it isn't working in a specific 1911.

I own / have owned / still own most the brands mentioned in this thread. I learned that Mec-Gar manufactures magazines for a number of
different firearm manufacturers. Many are stamper with the gun mfrg.'s name, & sell for a higher price than those sold my Mec-Gar.

Mec0Gar is my choice for most my handgun mags, if they make a mag for a specific gun,
it'll be the same mag as the factory uses, but sold at a more reasonable price..

KimPro mags for me. I have two dozen or so that I've used for over ten years. I've shot thousands of rounds through several different brands of 1911's and never had a failure.. Midway has them for $21 each.

I have used MecGars for years and have been very happy. I also had a box full or 7 round 1911 mags that I wanted to get rid of until a buddy told me about Ed Brown mags. They had a trade in for new 1911 mags. Pay $10 for each mag ($15 for black nitride) you trade in and get a new 8 round. Follow link: https://www.edbrown.com/magexchange/

If you're looking for mags at decent price I have bought and used joe'smagmania on Ebay. they work fine, and you can get pads for them also. He has package deals when you buy more than one.
