You may know ProMag as an aftermarket magazine manufacturer that makes hard-to-find magazines for unique and rare guns. But they’re also an affordable source for replacement or backup magazines for many popular platforms, including the classic 1911. Let’s talk about mags for your government-sized 1911. Whether you need standard-capacity 7-round mags or higher capacity mags at 8, 10, or even 15 rounds, ProMag makes ’em — all for under $25.
They’re available in Blued Steel and Nickel-Plated Steel, which ProMag says offers reduced friction and smoother function. Other features include wide-cut witness holes, ultra-tough DuPont Zytel polymer followers and baseplates, and heat-treated Chrome-silicon wire springs.
Made in the U.S.A., each and every ProMag magazine is backed by their special lifetime guarantee.
Per the ProMag website: “…our products are able to withstand years of constant use and still be able to perform without the slightest hint of difficulty. Each and every step of the assembly process is checked and double checked in order to maintain the same consistent level of quality. We’re so sure of how good our magazines are, we’ve warrantied them for as long as you own them. This lifetime warranty is your assurance that the quality was built in before our name went on the products.”
That means if you ever have any issue with your purchase—for as long as you own it—you can simply return the magazine and receive a new one in the mail.
