    Best 9mm/45 1911 Magazines

    Hello all,

    Recently I bought a 9mm Dan Wesson Valor Commander in 9mm. I’m looking to standardize all my 1911 magazines. My plan is to go with the Wilson 47 HD/+P 7 round 45 magazine with a slim baseplate for my carry guns, Wilson ETM HD/+P’s for my magwell guns.

    For my DW, I’m looking for a reliable 9 round (or 10 round) mag that doesn’t have a ridiculously huge baseplate on the bottom. Something similar to a 47 with the thin steel baseplate.

    What are the suggestions from the group?

    Also, I’ve seen lots of comments regarding 47’s and ETM’s hitting the ejector on 1911’s. Is this a widespread issue?

    I use Ed Brown magazines in my 9mm. They are 9 rounders and come with two different baseplates.

    Your 45 mags are tops.

    Wilson has a 9 round fullsize mag out now, but I haven't tried 'em.

    Metalform welded base 9 rounders with the front ramp are 100% in my Wilsons. It's what I carry in the gun, with ETMs for reloads. I only put 9 in my reloads to facilitate easier reloading.

    If the mags hit your ejector take a tiny ball bit on a dremel and clearance it.

    I bought Wilson’s in 9 and ran predictable good. I like them. The larger base plate suits me in 1911 mags

    I use Wilson and Dawson Magazines in my 1911s' in 9MM and find both work well in Springfields, a Dan Wesson and another custom 1911.

    Metalforms work great in 9mm. I use Wilson ETM in .45. All are 100%

    I can’t seem to find the Wilson 9 round full size mags, anybody got a link and/or a picture?

    Sounds like the metalform with the Springfield Ramp might be the way to go...

    My personal favorite is the Tripp Research magazine.

    I may be the only one here but I hate the the Wilsons for 9mm mags. For 9 round mags I use Colt mags and for 10 round mags I will take Mecgar all the way.
