Chip Mccormick Custom Classic Magazine .45Acp 7-Round Stainless

The Chip McCormick Custom Classic Magazine for .45 ACP is a no-frills, purpose-built flush-fit magazine designed for full-size 1911 Government Model pistols. If you run a 1911 and want reliable, affordable spares that won't bulge your waistband during carry, this 7-round stainless steel magazine earns its place in your rotation. It's built on proven GI-style geometry—simple, proven, and compatible with every full-size 1911 platform.

Construction focuses on durability where it matters. The magazine tube is laser-welded stainless steel with a welded base plate, designed to take repeated loading and unloading without wearing out. An extra-power spring maintains tension over time, so you're not fighting weak feed springs after a few hundred rounds. Witness holes along the body let you count rounds at a glance during reloads or inventory checks, a small detail that matters in the field or at the range.

The smooth finish slides in and out of the magazine well without snagging, and the flush-fit profile means it doesn't print or create bulk. The base plate accepts an optional polymer pad (sold separately), giving you flexibility to customize for carry or range use. For shooters building a reliable magazine battery for training, competition, or defensive 1911 work, these Chip McCormick Classics deliver straightforward performance at a sensible cost.
