Bumper Pads for 1911 Single Stack Magazines

[rhino]

I'm looking for some bumper pads for single stack magazines, preferably with the screws.

In the old days, you could get a bag of them in any color from Denny's for not a lot of money, but now it looks like you have to pay through the nose for them from Metalform.

Does anyone have any they want to sell or know of a good source?

Thanks!

Brownell's Catalog #56, pp. #102, 103, 106 & 107, in sets, with unit cost of ~$1.50 to $3.00 each for polymer, ~$6.50 to $8.00 for metal.

Midway's got em. Made by Ed Brown.

You could also look up Chip McCormick's site.

Or you could just by Wilson singlestacks. They come with a 1/2" thick baseplate that I find just perfect. Though if you wish, 1/4" or 3/4" baseplates are available as an after-market option from Wilson's. The easy-on/easy-off nature of the Wilson baseplate makes changing it to a different thickness easy.

Thanks for the pointers ... SnoKid helped me with a pointer to eBay for a smokin' good deal!

Here's a suggestion from someone who hates drilling holes in stuff. I use Pachmayr rubber base pads on the bottom of my Chip McCormick 10 round single stacks. They are rubber molds around a brass base. The brass gives you extra weight to drop free faster. You can screw them on or do as I did. I use 3M VHB (Very High Bond) foam double sided tape. It's a structural tape about 0.030 thick and is very aggressive. I've had them on my mags for four years now without a single failure. In all weather conditons and cleaning situations. Good Luck.

I have used the C.P. Specialties Pads for years. They use to make them in different colors for the 1911 magazines but not any more.

They have a little bushing in the screw hole so you can not over tighten them. I have over 50 of them and will not buy anything else.

They are on page 107 of the #56 Brownells catalog.
