This is a factory STAINLESS STEEL 7-round magazine for the full-size (Government model) 1911 in .45 ACP

These steel magazines are put through multiple tests to assure ever lasting service. Wilson Combat fortifies the steel on these magazines by soaking the steel in a protective coating called ProtectaClear. ProtectaClear is a crystal clear protective coating that will protect metal from tarnish, oxidation and rust. ProtectaClear is a thin coating that is tough (Pencile hardness H8) and yet remains flexible so it will expand and contract with the metal.

The enternals of this magazine include a fiber-filled nylon self-lubricating follower, and a heavy duty steel compression spring to assure minimal friction and sustainability when in the field or out in the range. This heavy duty spring easily compensates for the extra slide velocity caused by heavy .45 ACP loadings and resists reliability-robbing fatigue over time.

Our legendary magazines are so inherently reliable they'll make virtually any 1911 pistol function everytime, including yours!

Keeping a few extra factory magazines around is never a bad idea; extra magazines save loading time at the range and also serve as a backup for those days when you simply cannot remember where you put your primary magazine.
