    Worlds Best Magazines

    Posted by K Hutchison on Dec 9th 2010

    Ive been shooting 1911 pistols for 25 years and believe these magazines are without a doubt the worlds best. Even before I owned a Wilson, I used these mags in other makes of 1911s with magnificent results. I own probably a dozen of these mags and would never consider anyyhing else. If your pistol does not function with these mags, there is something seriously wrong with your pistol. Stock up on these beauties; youll be glad you did.

    Make Your 1911 Reliable!

    Posted by Lee H on Nov 27th 2010

    I have been using these magazines for years, stored loaded most of the time and they make my 1911 run like a Glock in terms of reliability. I have had to replace the springs twice in the seven years that I have had mine stored loaded and at the ready and with that, these things couldnt fail if you tried to make them. Everyone is using modern-style magazines, Wilsons in particular, for a very good reason: they work. See for yourself why and you will be happy.

    Wilson 47D

    Posted by Nelson on Nov 17th 2010

    These are the best 1911 magazines that I have ever used. Every single 1911 I own runs Wilson 47Ds. Ive never had a magazine related failure with Wilsons.

    Every 1911 Owner Should Have At Least 3 Of These!

    Posted by Brian M on Nov 2nd 2010

    If you are familiar with the 1911, you are surely familiar with this magazine.  It is often considered the gold standard by which others are compared.  A magazine is the heart of any semiautomatic handgun. If they dont function reliably, you may find yourself with a 38oz paperweight in your hand, when you need a gun. These magazines work like the heart of an Olympic athlete! Lightweight, exceptionally durable aluminum, excellent finishing. They have always fed FMJ and hollow point ammunition reliably.  The spring is strong and the follower is durable.  Be aware, these followers lack the dimple often seen on 7 rounders. They are also plastic, which can wear over time.  Inspect them for wear and replace might as well replace the spring as well if the slide does not lock back on the last round.  You can order replacements here. I have noted very minimal wear on mine after 4 years of use.  Do yourself a favor and order a few of these. You can never have enough handgun magazines!  Carry them, along with your CQB in the Wilson nylon pistol bag, and you will have the ultimate pistol-magazine-case trifecta.  I wouldnt hesitate to carry these magazines in my pistol off-duty to protect myself and my family.  I hope to try their ETM magazines soon.

    Perfection

    Posted by Dan Boldo on Oct 6th 2010

    What can you say about these that hasnt been said a million times? These are high quality and dependable mags. I cant seem to break them, no matter what and I feel comforted knowing my Wilson gun, has a rock solid Wilson magazine with Wilson ammo. Get a few and then some more--theyll make great heirlooms for the kids :-

    Makes My Ria Tactical 100% Reliable.

    Posted by Michael Michalski on Oct 5th 2010

    I had odd malfunction while taking my CCW class in my new RIA Tactical. My CCW instructor thought it was due to the factory magazine that came with it and recommended I get some Wilson Combat magazines. I followed his advice and 6 months later have not been sorry. My budged priced 1911 from the Philippines now operates with 100% reliability. The claims on the website about making any 1911 function all the time are 100% true.

    These Magazines Are Amazing!

    Posted by Richard on Aug 28th 2010

    I just recently bought a 1911 loaded target from Springfield Armory, it came stock with two stainless 7 round magazines with no base pads at all. A friend gave me a few other magazines from various manufacturers i have never heard of, but when i tried them i could never shoot through an entire magazine without feeding issues and jams. When i got tired of all of the hassles i purchased one of these magazines and when i tried it i fell in love, no issues whatsoever with loading and theyre made of durable materials so i dont have to worry about bending the tube when i change magazines during competition. Buying and testing out that first magazine made me force myself to buy four more of them...and Im still loving them all just as much

    Wilson Combat 47D Magazine Review

    Posted by Drew on Aug 11th 2010

    My 1911 had difficulty with failure to feed issues. After purchasing several magazines on the market, I finally bought a Wilson Combat 47D. The 47D is now all I run. Flawless performance every single time. Simply holding the magazine you can see and feel the immense quality and engineering. I have never been so impressed with the performance, quality and attention to detail from a magazine before. After using a Wilson Combat product it was obvious, I need to own one of their pistols. It will absolutely be my next 1911.
