CMC Products 15150 Power Mag Stainless Steel with Black Base Pad, Detachable 10rd .45 ACP Magazine for 1911 Government

The CMC Products 15150 Power Mag is a premium 10-round .45 ACP magazine built for 1911 Government pistols that demand reliable feeding in competition and self-defense use. If you run a Government-frame .45, you know that magazine quality directly impacts your stage times and your life—CMC's stainless steel construction and proprietary feed-lips design have earned respect among serious shooters who can't afford a failure.

What sets this detachable magazine apart is engineering that addresses real-world concerns. The feed lips are roll-formed and polished rather than die-cut, giving them extra strength and consistency. CMC's follower design is optimized for semi-wadcutter and hollow-point ammunition—rounds that less thoughtful designs tend to stumble on. The magazine uses a proprietary, heat-treated Rocket Wire spring that maintains tension and feeding reliability even after extended periods seated fully loaded in your pistol, which matters if this is your carry gun.

The removable base pad features full front-to-back engagement designed to handle repeated removal and reseating without wear. Both sides of the body are numbered with witness holes, so you can do a fast, visual round count without removing the mag. The longer body on this 10-rounder means the base pad wraps around the portion of the magazine that extends beyond the mag well—a detail that improves grip and handling when you need to perform a mag change under pressure.
