Seconded, third-ed, or fourth-ed (whatever we're up to by now) on avoid the Wilson 47D 8-round .45 magazine. They may feed reliably for a while, but the springs get weak fast and then the issues start. I actually handled a Novak-customized Colt 1991 that had been left untouched for years (a decade or 2 maybe) and the empty 47D that had been stored in it didn't even have enough spring strength left to engage the slide stop. Oddly enough, the 7-round Wilson 47 .45 magazine is one of my favorites.
Next, to the OP's question, I'd say your mileage will vary on 1911 experience. My father had an inexpensive 1911 in .45 ACP when I was a teenager that would work, and then not (it's where I learned not to trust Wilson 47Ds). My brother had a Kimber lighweight 4" gun and a Dan Wesson Pointman Major, both .45 ACP, both with intermittent issues. The Kimber's issues were never resolved. The Dan Wesson would run fine on hardball, sized to min-spec, using 7-round magazines. Use 8-round magazines and all bets were off. I have a friend with a very pretty Kimber Raptor II in .45 ACP that I'm kind of skeptical of, as it had one failure to extract on me when clean, using fresh Winchester 230gr hardball.
But my personal 1911 is a Colt Competition in .45 ACP. This one just works. It feeds from any magazine I can get my hands on. It feeds hardball, it feeds Remington Golden Saber JHP and it feeds 200gr SWC reloads. The thumb safety works smoothly and slickly. It hits to the sights. The trigger breaks cleanly at about 4.5-5 pounds. You couldn't get me to give up MY Colt 1911. But it wasn't an easy step to take the plunge when the money came out, based on my past history with the platform. However, I'm glad I did, because when you have one that works, it just WORKS right.
