Wilson 47D's or ETM's

[GlockCanMan]

I know that a lot of 1911's can be finicky, but I am finding the ETM's a little easier to seat. I have been using both of them for a while and evaluating them. I believe that I like the ETM's a little better.

Get the ETM's and don't look back. I love them.

I voted 47d's because they run in all my 1911's in 45, I have one etm for my 9mm 1911 and it doesn't run in my gun...I know this is not apples to apples but its what I based my vote on.

[mikegot38]

Both run in my guns.

^{I use both but the ETMs seat alot easier. both feed perfectly.}

[GregJ]

I run the ETMs and my son runs 47Ds. I have the DP extended alum base pads and he has the Wilson extended base pads. Both run and seat just fine.

Get a couple of each and see which ones YOUR gun likes. Also consider which magwell you want to use. If you're using a Dawson Ice or Techwell XD, there are several extended basepads available for the 47D, but I'm only aware of one extended basepad for the ETM.

That said, the ETMs are a little easier to load into a closed gun when fully loaded.

I've used 47Ds for many years. But I find that ETMs are easier to seat on a closed slide. So I've switched to ETMs.

I like the ETM's. I have used the 47D for years. I agree with the observation that the ETM seats easier in an empty gun. I have had issues with the follower in the ETM popping up and over the front of the magazine and being damaged when dropped during matches.

The Magazine I have found that runs well in my 4 1911's is the Cobra magazine from Tripp It is another option to look at. I am running them exclusively with no issues. I have run them with Smith and Alexander magwell and in a Caspian with the race ready frame. Hope this helps.

Great luck with the ETM's.

[Rambo]

ETMs worked great with my 45.

[Derek Wallace]

I have had a good experience with the ETMs. The lips flare out a bit with use but a quick squeeze with a pair pliers every now and then keeps that in line.

Had nothing but issues with my 47Ds. Using CMs with 0 problems now

I use 47Ds but like others have said they can be tough to seat. Gonna give the ETMs a try.

[Smitty4313]

I've got 6 47D's for my .40. All of them run flawless, no tweaks or bending, take 'em outa the bag and shoot 'em.

I have a single ETM that makes my 1911 go on strike. She absolutely hates it.

I use chip McCormick

[kevinj308]

They're both 100% in my SS, the ETM's just seat easier.

Both are excellent magazines. ETMs are easier to seat.

[Crydaddy]

ETM for me too.

[forfakes]

I own and use both. I only voted for the 47D because they're less expensive.

The ETMs are easier to load (not that either of them are any trouble).

The ETMs look better IMO.

I personally own 7-8 47D's and 3-4 ETMs.

Cost an issue I'd go with 47D, no cost issue go with ETM.

You wont go wrong with either, and if you do, I'll give you $20 for them.
