StraightSh00ter Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Metalform (Same as Dawson w/o aluminum base pad) Tripp (need to make sure feed lips don't spread too much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rod Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 "Best" is subjective but tends to be what works in your gun. Wilsons work well in my full size RO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I like Wilson mags. But I did not realize that they had 9 round mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 My Wilson mags are 10s I cut one coil off the bottom for easier loading If you use the extended pads you have to shape the front to fit the SS box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hello: I think the best 9 round 9mm mags are the Metalforms. The Springfield 9 round mags seem to work pretty well for me also. I am sure they are Metalforms also. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G T Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have 6 of the Dawson mags and they have been reliable and 1 chip mcCormick and no issues with it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertg5322 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Metalform here. Unless you have a Dawson Ice magwell, then get Dawson mags (as stated they'really Metalforms with their basepads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techj Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm very happy with the CMC XP's but they are 10 rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 why would anyone want 9-round mags? is this for carry or something, and not for sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 why would anyone want 9-round mags? is this for carry or something, and not for sport?This is definitely not for carrying. For idpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 oh, i get it, trying to optimize reloads or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Prefer Wilson, removed two coils from the base of the magazine springs to get them to run in my Trojan. Second and they will work out of the box, Metalform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 For 9x9mm the Metalform/Springfield Front Ramp is technically superior. But the old standard rear spacer 1949 design works in my guns. I have heard of the supposed advantage to a 9+1 gun in IDPA because it lets you reload between targets instead of on one. But that only works if your MD is unimaginative and all targets are two hit paper. Some steel or three hit targets will lead you to the 10 round magazine. I have several brands and now favor the McCormick XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hello: For IDPA you have to have a couple of tools in the toolbox depending on the match. 9 round mags work well sometimes and so do 10 round mags. Make your choice before the match begins by looking at the stages. I have both 9 round and 10 round mags. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Dedmon Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Don't have any 9 rounders, but if you want 10 rd. 9 mm magazines the Dawson's are top shelf. I have 12 of them and are very pleased. Sold my Tripp to buy them after I bought one Dawson to test. Edited May 19, 2016 by Philip Dedmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips0410 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I run 10rd wilsons and they work great, also have had really good luck with Tripp mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I run 10rd wilsons and they work great, also have had really good luck with Tripp mags Same here. I am currently running Wilson 10 rd magazine, but have also had very good luck with the Tripp magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Run 10 rounders and get 1 Springfield mag. It it makes sense to shoot 9 rounds use the 9!rounder 1 time and the rest then need to be loaded to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ML1911 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I have been using Metalforms without issue. Brownells is selling a 9mm magazine that appears to be manufactured for them by Metalform. Around 20 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Wilson 10 rounders have been perfect for 10k rounds in my SA RO 9, I will admit I got a smokin deal on them, 5 nib for 100 bucks, had they not been flawless I would have dumped them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
