Since mine has worked flawlessly I haven't really looked very hard for aftermarket magazines. Everything I've read states there aren't any available.

I bought a Browning 1911 380 as a replacement to a finicky Walther pk380. I liked both because they are easy to rack and .380 recoil is easily managed. My 11 year old son shoots it very well and has had no issues with limp wristing or the jams that others are reporting. It has been completely reliable and a joy to shoot. There are a few things you need to know if you aren't aware already. The frame is polymer and the guide rod is plastic. I didn't notice this until after I bought it. There is a metal guide rod available from a guy that developed one for the 1911-22. The jam problems that have been reported are mag related. Apparently the feed lips are on the weak side and either arrive a little open or open up from slamming the mag. I have not had these problems at all with mine.

I have not tried any self defense ammo in it yet.
