The material the follower is made from is less important than the geometry of the follower and magazine lips as far as reliable functioning is concerned. I've found the rounded metal followers to be slightly more reliable than the flat ones but not enough to summarily dismiss flat followers. I don't care who made the magazine, if it won't work in my gun then I discard it or repair it. Even at the price of Wilson mags they are too cheap to trust one that isn't 100%.

Texican_gal care to elaborate on your reasons for removing the ambi-safety from your Kimber? I'm not a big fan of ambi-safetys because I've seen too many of them break.

Wilson, McCormick, Mec-Gar (sold under several names) and Metalform are the primo 1911 mags in my book. Others may be good, I would trust these with my life.
