Me cgar
I used these mags on my springfield mc operator and it performed great. Definitely good quality mags.

Function is indistinguishable from OEM
Purchased this as a spare mag for my 1911A1. Well made, solid magazine. Feels, loads, feeds and functions perfectly. The only difference is the color. I Will purchase again.

Work great
These mags come standard with Tisas pistols. After running several hundred rounds through the gun I never had a single FTF or any other issues. So, I bought some more and they all work fine in my growing collecting of Tisas guns.

NIce Mags!
I bought these for extra mags for a new SR1911 Commander. They functioned flawlessly. When looking back I thought I had bought ACT Mags because the follower is the same as the ACT Mag pic. Mec Gar shows a plastic follower. I prefer the no tilt metal follower so that's a good thing. These also have a steel base plate not the plastic shown in the pic. I've since tried to drill these to add pads and that is some tough metal. Well that or a bad drill bit. Overall I'm very satisfied with these mags. As always very satisfied with Brownells service. Thank you!

Best I have found
I got two of these magazines with a custom bullseye gun that I ordered. It took me a year to figure out that these magazines were something special. Smooth beautiful bluing, and a very strong spring. For some reason these magazines are much easier to load than other brands. I have had trouble with other magazines causing alabis. These simply do not have any issues. They feel as if both the metal and the parts are much higher quality than any other magazines.

Excellent 1911 magazine
This is a great magazine, period. The fact that it's about a third or more less expensive than some "premium" magazines out there makes it even better. I love the uniquely designed steel follower. The steel is heavy, the craftsmanship and finish are superb. These are the mags that many maker, including Springfield Arms, use as their factory mags, and I can see why.

Not for repeated use.
Worked flawlessly for about 6 months. After about 300-400 rounds from one magazine,the lips expanded. The magazine no longer drops freely from my Colt Combat Government. It is useless for duty/competition use; however, it still feeds perfectly and is good only for target practice.

No replacement parts
US distributor told me replacement springs are not an item they have OR will carry.
