Don’t believe the low ballers
I’m an old man, that’s what other people call me. I’ve been running Tripp cobra mags since Virgil was still making guns and coating them. I carried cobra mags in my 1911 in the army back in the 80s and still do in my Ed brown Kobra carry. So reliable that the platform becomes a little boring, cause I’m not having any malfunctions. Next step down is Ed brown and then Wilson combat from what I hear. Ed has a trade in program. Look into it
Modern mag
I run these mags in a Springfield TRP Operator. The body is longer at the base, leaving more room for spring movement, and the feed lips sit slightly higher in the gun. I prefer them over the Wilson 47Ds that I have run for over 20 years in my 1911s. They have no issues seating or feeding the top round. They tend to lock the gun back more consistently than other mags as well. These newer ones are much better than the first runs of Cobra mags, of which I have several and those still work fine. These are highly polished and consistent. These are for work, and feed 185 and 230 grain Gold Dots flawlessly.
Tripp Cobras are Simply the Best
After struggling several years ago to find a 10 round 9MM magazine that was reliable enough for competition, I finally got a few Tripp mags on a friend's recommendation; boom, problems solved. With the entire 1911 platform so completely dependent on its magazines, it only makes sense to buy the best, first time around. That's Tripp Cobras.

Looks good. Excellent feeling. Sounds good when insert the mag. They best I have so far. I will buy this again.
Close to a PERFECT 1911 Magazine!!
Have been using these mags for well over 10 years. I like them so much i normally toss any other mags that come with whichever 1911 I buy. (Yes this includes Wilsons, McCormicks and everything else) Never had a issue during any time I have used them. Mr. Tripp has created a FINE FINE product. And because of that it is the only 1911 mag I stock in my store.
YES!!!
Brand new 1911 was not feeding, every other round was FTF. I was upset to say the least, read everywhere try a new mag. So tried one of these...wow went through 50 rnds with 0 issues. They are pricey but worth it!
Cured the malfunctions in my Les Baer
I was about to return my new Monolith Heavyweight 1911 to Les Baer due to repeated malfunctions with the factory magazines (after the 500-round break-in). I was using the factory-recommended ammo (American Eagle 230gr) and lube procedure (CLR), but was getting misfeeds and failure to lock back slide after last round. Tried a different ammo (Speer Gold Dot 230gr), but did not fix issue. On a recommendation I purchased two TR Cobra mags. The superior fit-and-finish was immediately apparent. I loaded them with the exact same ammo, and the pistol went through 200 rounds without a hiccup. I will continue to test, but so far these magazines have performed flawlessly. They ARE pricey, but no more so than Wilson Combat. If you're a believer that aftermarket mags make a difference, I can highly recommend these.
one of the two reliable Officer mags
I have tried all major manufacturers. There are only two Officer size magazines that pass all tests - this and the other one from Tripp Research. Feeds all HPs I tried, smooth and cluck-less.
Tripp magazine
Bought 3 before a 4 day tactical handgun course at Front Sight in Nevada. Shot over 800 rounds in 4 days, with my Les Baer 1911 and these were my go to magazines. Never had a single malfunction during or after my trip. Continue to use them for training and the feel of the magazine and functionality are superb.
Tripp Research 1911 magazines
I purchased three Tripp 1911 magazines when they were on sale a few months ago to accommodate my growing 1911 family. They exceed, in quality, any of my "OEM" or Wilson mags. Smooth as silk to load and have performed flawlessly (even in the cold of a New England winter). In my opinion Tripp mags are the best you can buy. Buy one to try it out and you will be back to buy more.
