Great Function

I had used CMC Shooting Star mags in my 1911s and they were getting worn out. I thought to try the 3-pack and am happy with it. These mags work very well; seat, lock the slide and drop free with no issues. With my Kimber Tactical Custom II and Pro Carry II, I experience no malfunctions, even with lead and plated SWCs.

Fantastic

I use the Chip McCormick magazines for competition and carry. They function great, very easy to load and I love the ease of locking a full mag with the slide closed. So far they're perfect. I use them in a Kimber Pro Carry HD

Best.

The best magazines I own. The nicest I've seen.

Excellent mags for the money

Was very skeptical of these mags due to an experience with a "Shooting Stars" mag 20 years ago. Glad I decided to give them a try. These are MUCH better than those old 8rd'ers of yesteryear. Very high quality build, strong springs, and has been extremely reliable with my Ruger SR1911. I was especially glad to see these come with the wadcutter-type feedlips vs the hybrid-type found on the Checkmates. Went a head and ordered a few more.

Three-peat

Simply great mags, very little nose dive when maxed out with 230gr FMJ, very solid.

WORST MAGAZINES I EVER PURCHASED

I used two Ed Brown Kobra Carries and Two Springfield Armory 1911's one a Target and the other an m1A1 with adjustable sights to run the CHIP MCCORMICK mags through their paces.The above pistols never had any feeding problems with any ammo using Ed Brown Mags, Wilson or Springfield Mags That ammo list has four brands of self defense hollow points and also round nose and flat nose ammo from a variety of manufacturers. The CHIP MCCORMICK mags nose dived every second round of the self defense ammo with a few stops and jams as they emptied.They also failed to feed, on a regular basis, the round nose and flat nose ammo.
