Armscor Ammunition Mag Rock Island 45Acp 8Rd Nickel
The Armscor Ammunition Mag Rock Island 45 ACP 8-round magazine is a reliable, no-frills mag for shooters who run full-size or mid-size 1911 platforms in 45 ACP. Built to tight tolerances in Italy, this magazine delivers the straightforward dependability you need whether you're training at the range, competing, or carrying. The nickel finish resists corrosion and pairs well with classic 1911 aesthetics, while the steel body and polymer base plate keep things durable without the weight penalty of all-steel designs.
1911 magazines aren't one-size-fits-all, and fit matters—mismatched mags mean failures to feed or extract, which you don't have time for. Armscor built this one to work smoothly in both full-size and mid-size frames, so you get real compatibility without guessing. The 8-round capacity is the standard for 45 ACP 1911s, giving you a practical carry or range load without bulging pockets or holsters.
If you shoot 1911s seriously—competition, duty, or personal defense—you know that spare mags are insurance. This one is affordable enough to keep backups in your range bag, vehicle, and nightstand without regret. The nickel finish shows its age gracefully, and the proven steel-and-polymer construction has earned its place in countless working guns.
