Colt Mfg SP50225BRP 1911 Government 9rd .38 Super Blued Steel Magazine

A Colt 1911 Government magazine in .38 Super is a factory OEM replacement or spare mag for shooters running the classic Colt platform in this potent mid-range cartridge. The Colt Mfg SP50225BRP holds 9 rounds and features blued steel construction throughout—durable, corrosion-resistant finish that matches the aesthetics and longevity expectations of a quality 1911. Whether you're stocking up for competition, training, or everyday carry with a .38 Super 1911 Government model, a dedicated factory magazine ensures reliable feeding and peace of mind.

Factory Colt magazines are engineered to the exact tolerances of their corresponding pistols, so you get the fit and function that aftermarket generics sometimes struggle to deliver. The 9-round capacity gives you a solid balance between firepower and reload discipline—enough rounds for most shooting scenarios without the bulk of extended-capacity options. Blued steel construction means this mag will age gracefully on the range or in your safe, though like any blued part, it benefits from occasional wipe-downs in humid climates.

If you own a .38 Super 1911 Government, having at least one spare magazine is smart practice. Mags wear over time—springs lose tension, followers can rattle loose—and Colt factory mags remain the gold standard for reliability and fit. Grab one (or several) to keep your 1911 in the fight.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine work in any 1911, or just Colt 1911s?

This is a Colt factory magazine engineered for Colt 1911 Government models. While many 1911 magazines are generically compatible across brands, factory Colt mags are optimized for fit and feeding in Colt pistols. We recommend verifying compatibility with your specific pistol before purchase.

What's the difference between a 9-round and a higher-capacity .38 Super magazine?

The SP50225BRP holds 9 rounds, the standard capacity for most 1911 platforms. Extended-capacity magazines are available separately and offer more rounds per reload, but typically add weight and can affect how the pistol handles. Many shooters prefer the classic 9-round feel and profile.

Why should I buy a factory Colt magazine instead of a third-party option?

Factory OEM magazines are built to the exact specifications of the firearm they're designed for, ensuring reliable feeding, proper fit in the magazine well, and longevity. Colt factory magazines are proven in the field and remain the safest choice for your 1911.
