Best Mags In The World!!!!!!!
I have solved a ton of feeding problems for my customers 1911s with wilson mags. I will never buy a different mag for any of my 1911s. I shoot in a very dusty/sandy environment with these mags and I never have a problem with them. Thanks wilson for making the best mags ever!

Will Never Buy A Different Magazine Again!
Bought 2 of Wilson Combats 47OX magazines for my Colt M1911A1 Compact and couldnt be happier. I was having feed issues and the slide wasnt locking back after last round was fired. Replaced with these magazines and cured all problems. Couldnt ask for a higher quality magazine at a better price. The only thing I dont like is how the base pad sticks out a 1/4- but I knew that going in- try 47OXC to rectify that problem. I now realize Ill never buy anything but Wilson Combat magazines again!

Awesome Mags
My original Officers Model magazine was partial to certain types of ammunition. My Wilson magazine loves all ammunition. I have yet to find a round that fails to feed. Great shipping times. Everything from Wilsons always seems to arrive one day earlier than posted.

Excellent Magazine!
I bought two of these for my Kimber Ultra CDP after being so impressed by the 47Ds that came with my CQB. Now I have a dozen and all of my .45 magazines are Wilson Combat. They function flawlessly and are extremely durable. I highly recommend these for any compact 1911.

Run Perfectly
I use these mags exclusively in my compact Kimber .45 and- after several thousand rounds- not a single jam. Worth every penny.
