1911 mag comparisons

[fasteddie565]

I've been using Tripp Cobra Mags in both my .45ACP and 10mm 1911s and they've worked superbly! Recommend them to anyone.

Based on this report I purchased 2 Tripp mags for my Kimber Eclipse 10mm as I was having trouble with FTF and needed some additional mags.  These magazines did nothing for the FTF but I also noticed that they are loose while installed in the gun and hang down below the frame showing about an eighth inch of metal before the bottom plate when they are installed.  I called Tripp about this and they said it was intentional for a more universal fit.  My conclusion is that I don't care for that and would try another brand in the future though I can't expect them to stop my FTF problem.

My research points to Tripp 9 round mags.  Ram, your FTF may be a mistuned extractor. 

ETA, I just bought 2 of the tripp 9 rd mags with the alloy base pad. I will provide a range report soon.

The three Armscor mags I have for my RIA work flawlessly.

Tombstone Tactical here in Phoenix & Chino Valley have the McCormick 10 round .45acp mags in stock. I was going to give one a try.

I also want to play with a ProForm 15round for fun and see if I can make one work reliably. On first glance, the couple of times I have seen where someone made one work reliably, the first thing they did was make a rubber sleeve that extended the full length of the exposed mag that when locked in place pulled the mag tight so it couldn't twist or wiggle when in loaded.

I like the Wilson and CMC Power mags in my .45 Kimber. The factory Kimber mag has run flawlessly since I got the gun in 1998.

Attempted to use 2 seperate, bought from different LGS, TripleK 10 round mags. One broke the ejector in my RIA, the other failed to feed after the 7th round. TripleK paid for the replacement ejector.
