What brand of 1911 mags and pouches?

[Jasonatlaw]

What mags do you guys like for your 1911 SS's? And what kind of pouches?

I have several ACT mags and they seem pretty good. I'm shooting a 45 and am looking for a few more 8 round mags. I have enough for me but have been working on dragging my dad along and he only has a couple (he also has a 1911 in 45). I was thinking I'd pick up a few more for me to have and I could lend some to him while he dips his toe in.

Thanks guys.

I've been using the same Wilson / Rogers mags since the 80's. 47D is the current model equivelent.

Tripp Mags

Wilson Combat mags, Comp-Tac pouches.

[Jasonatlaw]

Thanks for the help guys. I haven't had any experience with Tripp Mags... are they pretty good value for the money?

[Steve RA]

Tripp's are very good, so are CMC's.

[Jetracer013]

Wilson 47d is the way to go. Their customer service is unbeatable.

I use Blackhawk single stack carriers. I cut them down for a better grip.

[Jasonatlaw]

What do you mean "cut them down"?

[buckaroo45]

+1 for Wilson 47D's and Blackhawk.

The Metalform mags run great. I've played with the Tripp, Wilson's, and CMC's as well. Metalforms are my favorite.

What do you mean "cut them down"?

Cut off the top of the mag holder so more of the mag sticks out. Less plastic holding onto the mag.

[Jasonatlaw]

Oh that makes since. Is there more chance that they will fall out?

[Bob DuBois]

47D's work great in every 1911 45 I have ever owned.

[mag17]

+1 for wilson combat mags....

Cmc power mags and safariland 771 pouches

[jlamphere]

Some, but if you get the CompTac, they are cut as low as the rules allow and they have a tension screw that you can control how tight things are. The pure plastic ones you would need to be more careful with. Other makers probably have the same features as well. Depending on the game you are in, make sure you are in line with the rules and do not get them too short.

I like Chip power mags best. I have also used Wilson 47d mags, also work well. That is what I like for competition.

But I have dozens of mags of various brands. Colt mags seem good enough and I've even had good results with kimber tac mags.

I like comptac mag pouches, though the prices have gone up recently. Almost too expensive for what they are.

Tripp or Wilson seem to work the best. CMC are pretty good as well.

Brownels mags...never had a problem

[peacemaker25]

I've used CMC power mags since I started, never a problem. Just got DAA SS Racer pouches, and they're fantastic. I'm running them all straight up, now, but may be experimenting with angles before long.

They replaced blackhawk pouches. In the DAAs are much slicker, and have a world of adjustability built in.

[Jammer1911]

I use Wilson 47D and Tripps and CMC power 8s and non power 8s Safariland 771 or 773s are good pouches but you can't beat the DAA Racers. Simply awesome! JMHO!

[twister]

I've used the Wilson's since they've been available. Tried some others, always come back to the Wilson's.

Brownells 8rd. mags, until they were backordered for several months. I tried the Metalform 8rd. mags from Midway, and they are the exact same mag. Brownells was tight-lipped about who the maker was, but it was pretty evident when comparing them. I use 6-7 Safariland kydex mag pouches turned vertical. These pouches are nearly 20 years old and long discontinued, but work great. I think they were model 077. I use a Bladetech holster from when they were handmade one at a time from a thick gauge kydex. All on a CR Speed belt.

I like the Metalform/Brownells mag for the stainless steel follower that won't get chewed up like the Wilson plastic follower. Built to be a lifetime mag.
