My Remingotn 1911 has been nothing but enjoyable to shoot. in the 6 months I have owned it. Definitely not a "piece of crap" I have yet to find another mag that will not work. I havea Kimber mag for mine that has never ftf or fte. The gun has been extremely accurate, and easy to shoot. My wife even likes shooting it more than her 9mm or our .380. I have shot some +p ammo through it with no problem. Since any +p ammo I have found is quite expensive, I would never use it as my main ammo at the range, so once I saw how it performed in the gun, it will remain my self defense ammo, and be limited to the occasional range trial. Otherwise I just stick with the manufactures' recommendation for the range. I think a .45 with a good quality .230 grain hollow point should have enough stopping power for most cases. Anyway, my main point was that I have not seen another 1911 mag that will not fit the Remington, although there may be one out there somewhere.
