rmart Posted October 23, 2021 at 02:00 AM Share Posted October 23, 2021 at 02:00 AM I'm looking at Wilson, Chip McCormick (CMC), and Ed Brown. I hear you can't go wrong with the Wilson's but I also hear all of these are good. Ed Brown has a program where you turn in your old mags and they'll sell you their life-time warranty mags for $10 (stainless) or $15 (black nitride coated stainless) which is tempting. Any thoughts?

StuckInIllinois Posted October 23, 2021 at 05:45 PM Share Posted October 23, 2021 at 05:45 PM Been using Chip McCormick (CMC) magazines for 15+ years. Never an issue. Their Classic magazine is still under $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted October 23, 2021 at 07:21 PM Share Posted October 23, 2021 at 07:21 PM Neither Ed Brown nor Kimber Tac Mags have ever failed to work perfectly for me in any 1911. I can say the same for, believe it or not, Sig Sauer 1911 mags. I've had occasional issues with a 1911 not caring for WCs. The only brand that I've seen more than a tad of trouble with are Chip McCormicks. You should also be aware that Tripp makes welded bottom mags in addition to the 8 and 10 round Cobras, and they work very well, too. I use EB, Kimber, WC and Tripps in carry guns. I won't trust a CMC for that. Only my experience, I'm sure others will vary. My limited experience with Metalform mags has been very good, but only 4 mags on 2 1911s; not enough of a sample to opine on. If you're looking to replace a bunch of old mags, follow your hunch and swap them out for the Ed Browns. Everything is finally back in stock, so now is the time.
