Chip McCormick Shooting Star 8rd Power Mags are what I'm running now...have been running Chip McCormick mags since the early 90's and like them better than Wilson...the gunsmith The Action Works who did the custom work on my Colt Govt recommended them and I've never been unhappy...

 

Plus Chip McCormick are only like $11.99

 

Depends...some are and some not so much....the ones I'm running are more expensive...but cheaper than 47D mags...

 

check out CDNN, That is where I buy my mags

 

I've got about 37 places bookmarked to get mags, some give me a discoount with the 03 FFL and some have better sales...

Normally I just get em from Brownell's on sale with the discount...and free shipping...

 

My Wilsons are old and work, but I haven't tried CMC or Novak. Heard good things about both.

 

Only had one Wilson 47D and had a few feeding problems with it, traded it to a guy who had a Wilson customized Commander years ago....

If I ever find any 47D mags on sale at a decent price I'd like to get a couple & see how they work...

 

No lie... Lifes nuts right now. Getting ready to get a place in Mary-Land for work. Gotta comute weekly and its taking up all my time. Plus I'm trying to buy a Boat and been back and forth on that because my OCD makes me research EVERYTHING I get involved in to the max. I know the boat I'm looking at inside and out....

 

Mine are older, probably a decade or more, and honestly I have never ran them in a Springfield....people have said that something to do with the step on the catch or whatever that they'll be hit n miss on a gun like a TRP but I don't really know...only hearsay and whatever I read on the internet.

There's a local guy who shoots with me sometimes that has a TRP and will only use CMC mags because he said the Wilsons won't always allow the slide to catch back after the last round...??...claims he loves the mags but not in his TRP....only runs them in his Ed Brown, his Kimber(s), etc. FWIW he used one of mine and it worked fine---told me I have the oldie but goodie ones---I never knew there was a difference.


I run them in my 1911's without any issue at all but every gun has its own personality. I have changed the springs in all of them once because after awhile they started to refuse to feed the last round at times. New springs and all was well again.

I'd like to try a Novak mag but I'm one of those retarded people who can't switch when something is working because I think the other mags will get pissed and quit under protest if they see another girl in the bag....
