1911 magazines: Who makes the best?
Просмотров 34 тыс.2 года назад
What are the best magazines? Who makes the best magazines? This question is almost as answerable as what is the best caliber? Needless to say I will state my opinion, and that is to stay away from any cheap magazines that are in consistently built or rather unbranded. Makers like Wilson Combat Chip McCormick and Tripp Research, Are universally excepted as some of the best 1911 magazines on...

Springfield 1911 Loaded Target 9mm Review
Mec-Gar
Colt.. Chip McCormick, Brownells, Wilson Combat, 🥃😎👌
Metalform magazines work well for me and aren’t too expensive. But, I also like Wilson and Tripp
I like Kirkpatrick holsters. But I LOVE TUCKER GUNLEATHER. GTucker makes holsters that are good looking, durable, and with amazing designs that hold the pistol securely while allowing a fast full grip and draw.
A quality, properly fit 1911 will be uber reliable with WC mags. A low quality, poorly fit 1911 won't work well with any mags. You can mess with valuation factors with a range toy. For a defensive pistol, bite the bullet and buy the best.
8:45 Those two Springfield mags look like they were made by Check-Mate. Both followers have a "skirt" in the front, that's a Check-Mate trademark. I believe they call these "bullnose" followers :) BTW, from what I heard, Ed Brown mags also are made by Check-Mate. Check-Mate makes factory OEM mags for a lot of 1911 makers, same as the Metalform. My Colt Series 80 Gov't came with two Check-Mate 7rd mags :)
@@harrycallahan9733 it’s quite possible. I imagine they have had contracts with various mag manufacturers over the years. Thanks for the info on these ones.
Ive never seen one in person.
@@johnfontenot7861 it’s not much different looking, but how it all fits together is nice. If you’ve ever handled an Ed Brown or Wilson Combat. It’s kind of like that. Just not a complete custom like those 1911’s.
Those sights are so high they look dumb, don’t allow for a proper cheek weld, and are bound to snag on things...
@@D5quared91 proper cheek weld, have you used these sights with this gun? If so, are you familiar with the 1/3rd co-witness or the inclusion of a raised cheek weld?
I think that if your gonna shoot just ball, then actual gi spec mags are the absolute best, except the only company that is producing a gi spec magazine is checkmate, as far as I know.
@@user-sc2ye2rj6g cartridges are typically what interacts with the feed lips. The ramp of course making contact with the round. It all plays a part.
Agreed. The feed lips were designed around ball ammo.
What mag is that in the picture at the end or your video in your mc operator???
@@rchavez1107rc it looks to be an 8 round stainless. Could be Mec-Gar, Ed Brown.
Funny.. I just returned mine. I replaced battery 3x already in 3 months.
Mine dies every 3 months. Waste of money
Have a tech sight. Put a dot of fluorescent orange paint on foresight....works great. Pure white(or liquid paper) better
Nice Review - I own a DW Vbob in black duty finish, but always liked the Classic Commander looks better, brushed stainless with cocobolo grips. Just subbed - keep up the reviews 👍
@@RightDucman I appreciate that.
I wonder if that guy who sells 20$ mags is still available
@@OfKingsXI Greg cote llc
@@GatCat INCREDIBLE thank you sir!!!
Wilson elite 10 rounds-black or stainless, we all know the best thing is the same brand as the gun but if you want to improve Wilson 100%, im a small timer colt 1911 collector and some of the older ones it's nesesary to replace the spring and the original magazines, springs Wolff is top magazines Wilson
My PT1911 gov comes with a mec-gar mag and it occasionally has a feed jam. After getting the 47d Wilson combat magazine it doesn’t jam.
i understand purists wanting to gatekeep the 1911 and saying it 'has' to be 45 ACP as things i collect i believe in purism, too. were i a collector/purist i would tear the 9mm fans up, lol. my first gun will be a SA 1911 garrison 9mm, though, and i don't feel a bit bad about it any more than new corvette owners feel bad about their cars... which i don't consider real vettes, lol.
Honestly at this moment in time I would recommend your first 1911 to be the Springfield Prodigy. 9mm obviously. I have a 4.25” myself with a Holosun 507C. Regarding “purism” what is a 1911? Is it the original John Browning design of 1911? Or is it the 1911 A1, which saw the most military use? Can it have a beaver tail or long trigger? What about sights and grips? Can it be a series 80? The list goes on as every single component has been changed through the years. Personally, my deep appreciation for the handgun is what caused me to mention the sentiment regarding 45ACP. Considering all aspects and potential changes/upgrades to the 1911, 45ACP is simply rooted in its inception and pedigree. So why choose 1911 if not for the connection to the greatest American handgun of all time? Any “purist” touting the sacrilege of 45ACP most likely owns a MSH that is straight. Or upgraded sights or whatever else. So that, forgo the 45ACP and go nuts.
@@GatCat no doubt a purist would say the 1911 starts with the 1911, not the predecessors (which were 38, not 45 i believe) and maybe even claim it has to be a colt design. mostly they would probably say it has to be a 45 ACP. i get it, i say it's not a mustang if it has an electric motor. i'm sure they'd argue the A1 is a true 1911 because of that spirit and direct connection, perhaps even saying some of the changes were because of the military and not necessary improvements over a long history to remain relevant. i get gatekeeping and have no problem with it. if someone says it's not a 'real' 1911, i'm not going to argue with them because i fully understand the passion involved.
@@ryanbarker5217 well I was agreeing with you basically. Also, who cares what anyone thinks right?
@@GatCat oh, i wasn't really taking it as a debate, per se, just conversating. anyway, if i have the time tomorrow i'll run up to the gun shop near me that has the garrison i want. i appreciate the advice on the prodigy, but after all the research and having held the garrison, i have to pull the trigger on a purchase eventually. if they have a prodigy i'll definitely check it out, hold some more handguns while there just to be sure while hoping they don't mention the words 'glock 19' to me. not sure what the paperwork entails exactly, i think the waiting period is 3 or 4 work days.
@@ryanbarker5217 the garrison is a great value I think. I know that some of springfields newer 1911’s used plastic triggers and a lot of MIM parts. However, these differences will most likely not cause the gun to function any worse. If you have never fired a 1911 9mm you are in for a treat. It’s like shooting a BB gun. Very easy.
I bought this same pistol in late December of 2016. I love everything about it. The only thing I've changed on it since I bought it was the guide rod spring as I've fired a couple thousand rounds through it so far. I did replace the Pachmeyer grips with VZ grips the first year. But, I switched back to the rubber grips as they filled my hand better and just felt better. It is the favorite of my 1911's.
Wilson Combat. They also have great 1911 replacement parts. Slide stop, flat recoil springs, mag release and springs, etc. And don't forget those shock buffers for full size government models...
I agree.
I bought a 3 pack of Klonimus mags for $46, pretty decent mags for the price, no problems yet.
Weird that you own so many 1911 magazines and don't have any .45 ACP caliber snap caps. Not a criticism, but I just thing it's unusual to own a firearm and not have ANY dummy rounds for it.
That’s a very valid point. I have a G-Sight laser sight (dry fire training). After acquiring those, I never needed snap caps other than purpose of a video or to demonstrate to a new shooter. Hopefully I answered your question, certainly a valid one.
this is not even unpacking video :D but shown well enough :)
I never understood “unpacking” videos. Are people interested in the packaging being opened? The warranty card? Seriously, I have no idea why there is interest in anything other than the product itself.
@@GatCat i dont know either. I just found it funny, that you show the product without unpacking it, like its less than those unpack videos :D Usually iam interested in seeing the product itself :)
I actually watched this video after i already bought a Commander Classic and I'm just glad im not the only one that likes this particular firearm. I find it extremely accurate for a 45 ACP and very fun and safe to shoot. My mom wants one because of the safety mechanisms and because its metal and wood instead of plastic and rubber
So the so called fiber also lights up at night?
Nope, only radioactive tritium does that.
@@GatCat thanks man, I was somehow confused with their website. I guess these would be awesome during the day. Bu I only have one gun hehe
@@rafars2246 so these sights combine both fiber optic (for day time and bright conditions) as well as tritium (self illuminating for dark conditions).
Rock island is the only nickel plated I want a Springfield nickel plated 😅
I think Colt might still make a nickel plated 1911 but of course that is not CA “safe”.
Great holster and laser light. Too bad you didn't get an M&P.
Oh ya, well RC Cola is better than Coke and Pepsi!
Metalform for me
your title says the best not the most economical
tripp reaserch are the best not wilson
the cat!!!
Hi Sir! At 2:31, you have 3 very nice 1911 pistols. Congratulations and welcome to the “1911 collection” owners group. You will learn more about your 1911 pistols as you go along. CZ owns Dan Wesson and Colt as of 2024. Quality usually goes up after CZ buys a company. Therefore, I may buy a couple Colts 1911 pistols in 2025. Stay safe out there. 😎👍😊🇺🇸🐰. Beretta SR.
wilson 8 rounders do not fit junk mags 920 series
Act-mag is a great mag as well... i even have a promag 10 round that works beautiful!! But for personal defense Wilson combat is my goto
Great video! It has fully supported ramped barrel?
Yes I believe it does, I could be wrong though.
Nice. For me, I love Milt Sparks
I've had my citadel 1911 for almost about 8 years. Not bad budget friendly, after putting a light on it, thin vz grips and night sights now I realize I should of just got the trp 😂 loved your dan wesson video really thinking about it.
Thanks! Ya sometimes I look at high prices of guns and opt for the base option. Then after all the after market parts it comes out more than the pricier one I initially passed on.
Thanks for reaching out on the response a couple months ago. I have a question about the rest of the 1911 CA complaint. Is springfield the only ones that have that key lock on the mainspring?
Ridiculous, F’ing communist state!
I have the idiot scratch too. I really don’t care about it. I just sand it down with some sandpaper and polish. It goes l away real quick.
Hey brother, this is a very interesting video. Would you show us how you go about making that cut?
I’ve since attempted to upload videos showing how to make modifications, but YT ends up taking them down or preventing views. I used a dremel and needle file.
That really blows. RUclips is not what it used to be to be. Well if you ever move your videos elsewhere please lmk I will follow. Twitter, instagram, fb, oh and Rumble!!
Can you send the video personally? People say it's simple but I need A better look. Or i would buy one from you for my Colt Defender. I'd send it to you and pay shipping both ways. After I updated my springs that plunger is way worse than ever!
NOT Ed Brown. I can guarantee you that.
The feed lip design is very important to magazine function and it's also very important to understand that specific bullet profiles demand specific feed lip designs. They work together to assure that the controlled round feed system works properly.
Absolutely. Great point.
Mine is impossible to click in. Not sure how that cut makes it work.
The cut only helps seat the slide stop in the correct spot to force directly in. Without it, the stop is more probable to slip away and gouge the frame or slide. If you’re having trouble with the compression of the detent itself, try compressing it while the slide is off the frame, to attempt to work the spring. Other than that, welcome to 1911.
Amen to that.
Can you by any chance show how the 9 and 10 round mags look when placed inside the 1911 please? I would like to see how much they might stick out compared to the normal 8 round. Also i wonder if it does stick out if having a mag well on it will hide it a little better
The plastic base pad will stick out on the 10 round 45ACP mags.
Wilson Combat Magazines didn’t work in My Springfield 1911A1 45. Would you know what other magazines would work in that Gun?
Wilson Combat makes many different models of magazine, so I’m not sure why they wouldn’t work. It’s a trial and error thing. You may want to find out why they aren’t working. Is it not seating correctly? But try Ed Brown maybe?
@@GatCat Yeah, I tried to Put the Mag in but it won’t accept it for some reason.
Are there any mounts that allow for the rear sight as well as a red dot? I have mine on the oem ruger mount and the issue is does not allow for the sig romeo 5 picatinny lower mount to properly grasp the mount. I could buy a new trs 25 if needed but unsure
I also have a Romeo 5 and a TRS 25. I have the TRS25 on this 10/22 and it works well. The rear site is meant to work with the standard Ruger rail, as opposed to a picatinny. Also, you’d need a low rise mount, but if I can recall the TRS25 is the only one that works. The Romeo wouldn’t work with this mount.
@@GatCatBeen wanting to put a Romeo5 raised on with aftermarket rear sight on picatiny rail behind it so i can see steel sights "under" Romeo5 mount do you think this is pussible
The smooth main spring housing is very unfortunate though. I have small hands so grip is pretty important
That’s an easy fix. $50-$100 part from Ed Brown.
My vote wilson combat
That’s a good one.
If the wilson combat mag costs 40 bucks spend the 40 bucks. Don’t waste a bunch of money on crap that’s gunna jam and make issues anyway 1911s are already fickle enough
I have this gun there’s no way anybody can make a better one
