CMC Products 14310 ClassicBlack 8-Round 45 ACP Magazine for 1911 Government

The CMC Products 14310 ClassicBlack 8-round 45 ACP magazine for 1911 Government delivers classic 1911 magazine performance with modern manufacturing. Built for shooters who rely on their Government model 1911 for duty, competition, or serious carry, this full-size magazine combines traditional flush-fit GI styling with reliable construction that keeps your gun running through extended range sessions and real-world use.

Built from laser-welded stainless steel, this magazine starts with a tube that's finished smooth for fast, consistent insertion and removal under any conditions. The welded base plate locks everything together, and an overbuilt spring delivers long-lasting tension that feeds rounds reliably shot after shot. The follower is engineered for 8-round capacity in a package that feels and functions like a classic Government mag—no blockers, no surprises.

If you want to customize your magazine, the tube is drilled for an optional polymer base pad (sold separately), giving you the freedom to add cushioning or a baseplate extension without rebuilding the mag. Whether you're running a bone-stock GI-spec pistol or a tuned competition gun, a CMC Classic magazine belongs in your rotation.
