Vickers Duty 1911 Mag

[SCULLY]

Just received two mags here in Canada through Brownells, first impressions are that they are very well built (Solid). Looking forward to trying them out sometime but we just got hit with our very first taste of winter and we got hit hard .

Cant figure out how to make pics a little bigger

Good deal! I'll be honest, though. It's almost weird to see a mag without a bunch of holes and writing all over it.

Yes it is different looking but that is the direct point to these mags. These are purpose built for duty/military harsh conditions use (sealed up), if your sitting on a climate controlled range then there is definately cheaper options. These are purpose built for extreme applications, if needed. Have not tried them yet but as mentioned first impressions of hands on and they are extremely well built.

Thanks

I wish they included the plastic base plates. I am probably going to buy a few of these. Maybe I could sell the steel plates off.

I'm thinking of buying 2 of these, but I already have a slew of ETM HD's. Other than the base plate, what's the main difference? The lack of ports on the sides?

It's my impression that the tube/mag body may be slightly longer as well.

The mag body is sealed with only one hole in the back to verify that 8 rounds are loaded, the follower has grooves to allow debris to slide by and it also has the flat wire spring.

I agree. I have three and am going to get three more. I like the mags and they are well though out. The problem with the supplied base plate is that they will not fit in a safariland mag pouch. I had to buy the plastic base plates. Anyone want to buy three base plates. I have zero use for them. Maybe Wilson Combat or LAV will chime in on this subject.

I'd like to try them on an ETM HD mag

I have about ten of these, started buying them right after they came out. Over thousands of rounds, I haven't had one issue yet. I have gotten rid of all my other 1911 mags. They're expensive, but best I have used.
