I have been reading some forum posts and have come to the conclusion that most 1911 mags are not that good.
The platform has been around for over 100 years, why is it so difficult to find quality mags for a good price.
I recently bought a Para-USA GI Expert stainless and the Para mags were absolute garbage. I called Para and they gave me 3 new replacement mags (Remington 1911 mags) as a replacement. The Remington mags work OK, but not that great. The guy I got the Para from also included 2 Wilson Combat 1911 mags and they work beautifully.
I have some Sig Sauer 1911 mags that seem to work OK, but nothing compares to the Wilson Combat mags.
I have also read that most 1911 jamming problems are attributed to the magazine.
I guess moral of the story is to buy Wilson Combat 1911 mags.
I would just like to know WHY.
