Note: To modify this magazine for use with .357 SIG 1911s, the magazine's inner rear spacer must be flush or slightly taller than the bottom of the U-shaped tube cut at the top of the tube. This will ensure that the bottleneck .357 rounds do not nose down due to rim drag on the spacer. To adjust the spacer, remove your baseplate and spring/follower assembly and tap the bottom of the inner spacer with a punch towards the u-cutout at the top of the magazine until it is flush.

Update
I would like to update my previous negative review. I have found that these magazines do work well in a .357 Sig 1911 in fact I have not had a single FTFeed and I have not had to adjust them as directed. I now own ten of these and while I’m spoiled with Wilson’s .45 mags and wish these were built more like them, they just plain work.

Mag-Nificient!
Ordered these to use in my Para Pro Comp 40, these mags function flawlessly. These are quality mags with the added bonus of 9 rounds. Added a Wilson bullet proof magwell and I now have smooth and fast reloads.

Cheap Junk
If I didn’t know better I’d swear this was cheap Chinese junk. I purchased around $118 for three of these mags to use them in a Sig 1911 .357 sig. The Sig came with two mags with a pat. pend # on them. The Wilson’s had the same pat. pend number on theirs. They all looked exactly the same. They are all cheap stamped thin metal like tin. I expected them to be like Wilson’s .45 mags which are the best made. I can’t believe Wilson Combat put their name on them.

Nose Dive W/9Rds Loaded
Loaded with 9rds Magazine would nose dive on the 1st round catching on the feed ramp. If loaded with 8rds it seems to work okay. But not with 9rds.

47Fx Reveiw
Purchased 1 to try in my Government 40c 1911 from Bul and it does not hold the slide open on last round fired. It does have a different design to it than the OEM from Bul.
