Do you know the part# for the ones you have?

The base pad on those may protrude a bit from the gun too, although not as much as with their 47D mags. It looks like their Service Magazine is the only one that is flush-fitting.
Their description says "We offer the Service Magazine in an 8 round full size version, and a 7 round compact version." However, they do not show a 7 round part# option.

Re: Wilson Compact Magazines

Here's a link with an example of the metal part of the mag pertruding. I think you will have to scroll up to see the pic.

Thanks for the help.
Not all Wilson magazines protrude below the grip. Check out the various styles available here.
Since I'm not familiar with their mags, do you know which ones fit flush? I can't tell by looking at them. In some of the pics I've seen, about an 1/8" or so of the mag housing is visible just below the well. You actually see the metal housing as if it is too long for the kimber. I know you can get various Base Pads, but I dont think that will fix the problem.

Wilson Compact Magazines

I just bought a new Kimber Ultra Stainless LG 45 and have read that I should upgrade to Wilson Magazines. In the pictures I've seen, the mag sticks out some below the well and looks like it isn't made for the Kimber. I don't like that. Are there other reliable mags that actually fit the Kimber as well as the stock mag?

Thanks for the help.
