Didnt work for me
Tried these C45 version kits in Colt GI pattern 7rd mags. Easy to change out even on these welded baseplate mags. The mags then indeed hold 8 rds of 45 Auto. Barely ! As there is absolutely zero room to further compress the top round these mags absolutely refuse to lock in. They lock fine with the slide back and or when containing only 7 rds. Understand that , in my case, youre not going to be able to load and then top off your mag too 8 rds. I wanted to carry 8 plus 1. Not happening with this kit in my 1911s.
