CMC Products Match Grade Stainless Steel 7rd .45 ACP Magazine with Black Base Pad for 1911 Officer

A CMC Products Match Grade Stainless Steel 7rd .45 ACP Magazine with Black Base Pad is engineered for shooters who demand tight tolerances and flawless feeding in their 1911 Officer-frame pistols. This isn't generic military-spec hardware—CMC holds die-controlled tolerances to ±.001", more than 75% tighter than standard USGI magazines, which translates to consistent round seating, reliable chambering, and the kind of precision match shooters and defensive practitioners expect from a serious .45 platform.

Built from stainless steel and finished with a smooth exterior for trouble-free holstering and drawing, the magazine features a laser-welded base plate that resists the punishment of range sessions and duty carry alike. The heavy-duty spring maintains tension shot after shot, and the follower geometry has been refined to optimize feed reliability with 1911-style ammunition stacking. Large numbered viewing holes let you verify your round count without unloading—a small detail that saves time during matches or training.

The black base pad is included with screws, so the magazine is ready to load and go. At seven rounds, this capacity is purpose-built for Officer-frame 1911s, where compact profile and lightweight carry are the trade-off for reduced capacity. If you've relied on CMC's reputation for precision magazines in 9mm, this .45 ACP option delivers the same exacting standards to the full-sized cartridge crowd.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this CMC Match Grade magazine work in my full-size 1911?

No—this magazine is designed specifically for 1911 Officer-frame pistols. Officer frames have a shorter magazine well than full-size 1911s. Always verify that your pistol's frame size matches the magazine's design before purchase.

What's included in the box?

The magazine comes with the black base pad and mounting screws already included, so you're ready to install and load immediately.

How do the numbered holes help during shooting?

The large numbered viewing holes on the side let you glance at the magazine and instantly count how many rounds are loaded without removing the mag from your gun or pouch—handy during matches, training drills, or duty rotations when you need to know your ammunition status at a glance.

Why are tighter tolerances important in a .45 ACP magazine?

CMC's ±.001" tolerances—more than 75% tighter than standard military specs—ensure consistent round seating and reliable feeding. Tighter control over follower position, feed lip alignment, and spring geometry reduces the variables that can cause failures to feed or chamber, which matters whether you're competing or carrying defensively.
