.45 ACP Elite Tactical Magazine, Silver

Comments about WILSON COMBAT .45ACP ELITE TACTICAL MAGAZINE:

This is a marked improvement on the other wilson mags. As some of the other reviews have said it is a very solid des. Just be careful that your mag well (if you use one) is wide enough to take the larger base of this mag.

The ETM is an improvement over the 47D, and works well out of the bag. The body seems stronger than the 47D as does the spring. However, the springs could stand to be stronger. Many will stop locking back the slides if kept loaded or subjected to a lot of cycles. The good news is the manufacturer has great customer service and will replace weak springs if you just ask. Bottom line, a good magazine as long as you stay on top of the springs and check them often.

I've used the standard '47D' magazines for a while with my 1911s, and when it came time for some new mags, these ETMs had just been released. I grabbed a couple and put a couple hundred rounds through them. My first impression was that they were sturdier than the regular 47D mags, and I really liked the number markings on the baseplates. No more coming up with my own markings for range use! As usual, the Wilson mags solve many problems that others can't seem to with 1911s. Of all the feed malfunctions I've seen, Wilson mags just tend to fix them. I've bought several since my initial purchase and will continue to do so.
