1911 9MM MAGAZINES Reviews & Ratings

The second generation Brownells 1911 magazines combine heavy duty construction with the reliability you've come to expect from a century old service weapon.

The body and follower are constructed from heat treated stainless steel, with witness holes for a fast round count. Xylan~ exterior coating provides corrosion protection, as well as a slick, friction reducing finish. The anti-tilt follower is mated with an extra-power spring.

The removable polymer base pad allows easy disassembly, as well as drop protection when changing magazines on the fly.

Good magazines But no replacement spring

Good magazines worked fine when new. Getting old with lots of use. Went to order replacement mag springs, Brownells does not have replacement springs for these. eeeekk... I would recommend other than the spring issue, not being able to get replacement springs is an issue for some of us, might not be for others. So if you don't think you will need springs they are fine, if you might need springs you might want to look at a different mag. If it was not for the springs I would give 5 stars. I have eight of these and now need to figure out what to do other than to just start trying various .45 mag springs. 8 round 45 spring maybe......

9mm 1911 Magazine, 10 Round by BROWNELLS

I picked up 6 of these magazines for my Ruger SR1911 9mm the magazines feed just fine i would have given 5 stars if they would fall free from the magwell but they do not you have to pull them out

Great value but need modify to work

Good: Beats everything out there price wise. Ordered 6 (2x3 packs) when on sale. Bad: Last round rarely holds open on my Norinco NP29 1911, but this might be my gun. Ugly: None of them drop free. Had to sand off the high spot on the front before they drop free. It's not the gun this time because every other brand of mags I tried drop free in the Norinco. For the price they are great option compare to Wilson mags that sale for $70 eahc in Canada, that is if you don't mind a bit of dremel work.

Almost perfect

Bought one for my 9mm single stack competition gun. Looked great out of the package, nice finish, easy to load. It has a bend in the front for some reason (maybe to act as a feedramp?) that catches the frame and won't let it drop free unless you hold the pistol at just the right angle. It's intentional and not a defect as you can see it in the photos. I would give it 5 stars if it weren't for that. Not sure I will buy more. It functioned flawless in feeding ammo.
