Best Ten Round Magazines for Full-Size 1911

[ptmccain]

I'm looking to get some ten round magazines for my SA Loaded 1911 and was wondering which magazines the folks here think is the best choice in ten round magazines.

I've got my eye on these at Cheaper Than Dirt:

Mag Chip McCormick .45 ACP 10 Round 1911 Power Mag Stainless Steel

I had great luck with the McCormicks when I was shooting 1911s. I used the 8 and the 10-round mags with great success. I found that the plastic surrounding the base of the 10-rounders prevented over-insertion better than the metal tabs on the fronstrap of some mags as those metal tabs would come loose over time while the plastic just stayed put.

I have had good luck with Wilson Combat. It has a metal tab to prevent over insertion. The high CM's work also but the lower end ones do allow over insertion.

the 8 and 10 round chip mags have worked very well for me. I haven;t tried any others.

I have one Chip McCormick that I recently picked up and 2 unknown that my Dad gave me. I've shot the CM 10 rounder once.

None work well with my 2 Colts. I use Wilson 8 rd mags with great results.

I'll sell you the 2 10 rounders I have if you're game.

I have about 15 of the McCormick 8 round mags I have not had any issues and continue to buy more. I like that they come with 2 diffrent base plates.

Most of the SME's I know lost faith in 10 rd. 1911 mags.

Having said that, I've had very good service out of the Chip McCormick 10 rd. mags.

Forgive me, but what is a "SME"?

When I was shooting 1911's and wanted 10 round mags, I used CMC powermags with the Tripp Research kit, this reduced the capacity to 9, but resulted in an almost bullet proof magazine, did the same with the 8 rounders.
This was one of the few recommended magazine setups by Hilton Yam.
