No Problemo
Works 100% in my DW Valkyrie. I will buy more in the future.
Good Mags
I bought these mags for my Taurus 1911 hoping they would be better then the other after market ones I had, but they gave the same problems, not locking the slid, not dropping free, I was ready to send them back. While searching the web for some answers to my problem I ran across a post that stated " I've seen this before when the wrong slide stop is installed". BINGO. I had replaced the slide stop for an extended version and got one for a 45. I changed back to the original and now all is well. These are good magazines for the money and work well.
Rock Island 1911 9mm
I recently purchased the triple pack of these mags. They work perfectly in my RIA 1911. Very good quality, fit well, and eject easily. I could not be more pleased with them. Thanks Brownells!
Brownell 1911 9mm mags. I'm happy !!!
Bought a 3 pack of the Brownell 9mm 1911 mags a couple weeks back. I put 200 rounds through them with zero malfunctions. They worked great. I'd buy them again. Happy camper. Mike
Work great but need a bit of adjustment
I purchased 6. Easy to load, but they would bind a bit in the magwell and not drop all the way out. Looking at the feed lips, I noticed there was a slight bend in each magazine compared to a factory magazine. I used long nose pliers and made a very minor adjustment to match the factory mags. They release flawlessly in several different 1911's. Initially, I was going to return them, but after that minor tweak, I am very pleased and plan to buy more.
excellent magazines
I purchased three of the 9mm brownell's 1911 magazines this spring. They run perfect in my new Colt Competition. I have put about 100 rounds per magazine and have had no issues. I noticed the magazines do protrude slightly below the bottom of the magazine well on my pistol. This is not a complaint but just an observation.
Works great, highly recommend
Have purchased 4 of these magazines for my Colt Competition model. They have functioned flawlessly and the coating on the outside of them helps provide smooth magazine change outs. Great value, solid performance and would highly recommend.
Good range mags
These are flawless in my ruger 1911 9mm light weight commander. Feed great and drop free. Slide always locks back after last round is fired. They do stick out the bottom of the gun a bit but have I nice polymer base pad. They are 100% reliable. A great addition to the range bag.
excellent value
These mags are superb. I have shot the Springfield Armory 9mm mags and the CMC 9mm mags, and had issues with both. These mags have been reliable and are an excellent value, particularly when they are on sale.
Greate mags.
This mags. work perfectly. I have SPS Falcon in 9mm, and I had a lot of problems with other 10 rnd. mags. I'm IPSC shooter and finally I find the correct, compatible competition mags. Thank's a lot Brownells team !!!
