1911 Magazines - Where to buy?

[Lumberjack98]

I recently picked up a Taurus PT1911 AL and I'd like to get some more 8 round magazines. I've read a lot of good things about Wilson, Chip McCormick and Check mate magazines.

Are there other magazines that I should be considering?

Where can I purchase magazines at a fair price?

Tripp Research Cobra Mags: http://www.trippresearch.com/store/store_1911.html

They are pretty pricey at $34.95 each, but they are the best mags I've ever bought. Head and shoulders better than the others, in my opinion.

CDNN has some good prices on mags. The only 8 round.45 mags they have listed today are Metalform who is a longtime supplier to the US military. I have several Metalform mags they have been very reliable. CDNN also has Chip McCormick, MecGar, Colt and other mags. Check their website regularly because their inventory changes weekly.

I have to agree about Cobra Mags they are the pinnacle of 1911 magazine excellence. The Cobra mag upgrade kits makes any magazine super reliable.

i'd stick with factory taurus mags if I were you. i HAD a pt1911 and it hated every aftermarket mag I had. ran only with taurus mags. good luck

I see you're in West Houston...

AMSS in the Jones & 1960 area (more Northwest Houston, but anyway...) carries both McCormick Power Mags and Wilson Combat (several varieties) in stock if you're wanting to put your hands on them. I believe they also have the MecGar mags in stock...all brands that seem to work well in most 1911 pistols.

Wilson combat.... You won't ever buy another 1911 mag from anyone else...they just work

Arms Room in League City has Wilson, Chip Mccormick, and Cobra. I have a Wilson and a Cobra for my Officer. They both work fine now but the Wilson didn't work at first. It had a weak spring when I bought it but they sent me a new one and it works fine now. The Cobra is flawless and it's made in Texas.

+1 on the Tripp Research Cobra Mags. I bought some for my Kimber Tactical ultra and my Dan Wesson CBOB and they are excellent!!!
