Best place to order 9mm 1911 Mags?

[Jevaughn]

So, what are you getting?

I'll probably grab a single WC and CM as those are often in stock, then if the Mec-Gars ever come in stock, I'll grab a couple of those as they're cheap, then do my own comparisons.

Cdnn sports usually has good deals on them

This is probably old info as I haven't really been buying stuff for a while . Checkmate & Metalform used to make about 80% of the OEM mags . I don't know if that's still true . Colt mags are made by Checkmate . MecGar used to make Nighthawks mags . The Wilson 47D is vastly overated , expensive & follower rocks . Can't say about their new Elites . For range mags I used to buy the Metalform 7 or 8 round both flat w/ dimple for ball / jacketed & rounded for lead SWC loads . IIRC about $5 each if you bought a case . If they choked I'd see if a spring / follower or lips were the culprit . Second time they choked in the trash . For other uses the Checkmate hybrid 8 round got the nod . I'd wait 'til Cote had 'em on sale , sometimes if you got enough you could get them for $ 8-10 each .
1911 feeding problems most often are mag / extractor related .

Yes, I know it's sacrilege to have a 1911 chambered in 9mm. That being said, where's the best place to find reliable mags for it without breaking the bank? I know Wilson Combat makes some of the best ones, but they aren't the only game in town. What other brands do you recommend and where is the best place to get them without breaking the bank? Are Mecgar mags for 1911's decent? They've been great in the Beretta 92 and CZ75's I've had through the years. Not even sure I'm gonna end up keeping the gun, but if I do, I definitely need more than the one mag that Springfield included with it.

I use mecgar exclusively. They are good to go.

I've used them exclusively in CZ's and Berettas and always had good luck with them. Finding them in stock for 9mm 1911's though, that's been a bitch. At about $20/each and their known reliability across most platforms, then it's understandable why they're always sold out. I'd love 10 or so of them, but I'd be happy to get my hands on 2.

Your the second person to recommend CDNN. Unfortunately, their selection for 9mm is really low. Metalform, Kimber, and Ruger factory mags

Yeah, need government/full size mags, but thanks. I haven't checked that sight yet.

Just to clarify. Chip McCormick does not make Wilson Combat magazines and Wilson Combat owns Chip McCormick now. Wilson Combat Chip McCormick Mecgar and Metalform all work great.

Mec gar makes mags for a lot of higher end manufacturers. I've never had a problem with them.

I ordered several 9mm mags for my 1911 frame from Brawnells. They weren’t too pricey, and shooting a lot, I haven’t had any issues. Good Luck

Are they the Brownells branded ones?

I think I have Tripp and Wilson Combat 1911 9mm mags around here. If you can wait until this afternoon I can get you an exact count/brand.

You are on a quest for a unicorn. There is no perfection. IMO

Here's what I found.......
7 - Tripp
4 - MecGar
2 - Wilson Combat.

All of them are 10 rounders.

Hit me up on PM if interested.

I tried Metalform and they didn't work too well. Shop wisely but don't cheap out.
