Were they Bolt-Over Base type feeds...Push-feeds (rim ahead of the extractor with round chambered)...or last round jumping the follower and locking the slide
with the round loose in the breech? Do you still have one of'em?

These are my favorites. Reasonable price, well made, and very reliable.

I have a Kimber Pro Combat that will only work 100% with Mec Gar mags, I have tried Wilson, Metalforms and CMPM. The CMPM rides too high , the Wilson and Metalforms will not feed properly with any combination of follower and springs. Plus the Mec Gar's are only $13

I've had nothing but great success with McCormick Tactical (Shooting Star) 8-rounders from CDNN Investments. They are pretty cheap, about $9 if I remember right. I've over a dozen and all have been good. I didn't install the bumber pads, I'll use the Mec-Gars if I want a protruding bottom.
I've made no attempt to match guns and magazines and they appear to interchange completely amoung my Kimber, Colts, Norinco, & Charles Daly (Armscor).
Intrestingly the CMC 10 rounders work fine in my 5" Kimber, Colts & Norinco but are hopeless in the 4" CD -- timing is everything
Mags are pretty much binary in function either they work or they don't. I won't pay $30 for something when something else for $10 works. YMMV.

I had gone the cheaper route when it came to 1911 mags. Now, I've only got Wilsons! Save the expense of trying cheaper ones & go w/ the Wilsons
Wilsons are cheaper than 'factory' Colt magazines.
CMC's work well in my Colts. I've been happy with them.
No such luck with 'surplus' government magazines, Randalls, etc.

as on another thread ...
i loathe wilson mags ...
i can't get them to work reliably in any 1911 i own...
the stuff i rescued from a dealers 'junkbox' ie: randall vega SA unkwn misc milspec etc , all seem to work fine with any ammo i can find thats in spec ...
just bought a 10 pak of SA mags , but may never need them...
if the guns within orig.specs the mags shouldn't be a worry if they fit the "general" specs ...
but what do i know ?
