1911

[surjimmy]

Hello, was wanting you guy's input. I carry a Les Baer Premier II, who do you think makes the best magazine for a 1911?

 

[Wolfman_556]

I've always used USGI surplus for mine. No problems.

 

[Black Majik]

I hate the factory Baer mags. It's run the best on Powermags and 47Ds.

I'm fond of CMC Shooting Stars. I haven't experienced any problems with them. But the most popular seem to be Wilson 47Ds and CMC Powermags. I guess I just like using blue magazines with a blued gun.

anything chip mccormick mags works well for me and i have had no issues with.

I don't know about the Baer mags, but the Wilsons are MUCH better than the Kimber mags.

I don't know what works in a Baer, but I do know that my Wilson 47D has never had a problem.
Neither has my 8 round Novak's/ACT. The Novak's is even slicker to load thand my Wilson, is easier to push the follower down with the slide catch, and is easier to clean out because the base plate retaining lips are turned outward instead of inward.

I have a 10 round Powermag and it isn't 100% reliable in my Rock Island 1911.
It's caused 3 point jams regardless of how many rounds are in the mag and once it popped a round up in a weird way that caused a live round stovepipe.
Maybe it's just my gun...a RIA is a little cheaper than a baer afterall.

Three brands.

I've used three brands and never had any problems. In order of preference, Colt, Mec-Gar and then Chip McCormick

 

[Mad Magyar]

Colt originals & Wilson Combat 7rds in that order....

 

[Eric F]

I have metalform and wilson mags
