The Ed Brown 1911 Magazine in .45 ACP is a no-nonsense feed system built for shooters who demand reliability from their 1911s. With a 7-round capacity, this magazine delivers the compact, classic profile that Government-frame 1911 users expect—whether you're running it through a match pistol, a carry gun, or a range workhorse. The heat-treated stainless steel construction and heavy-duty spring ensure consistent feeding across all ammunition types, including modern hollow points.
What sets this Ed Brown magazine apart is the versatility in the box. You get both a thick and thin base pad, plus mounting hardware for each, so you can configure the magazine to match your specific setup. Run it flush for concealed carry, add the slim pad for a low-profile look, or install the thick pad if you're using a magwell on a competition or tactical build. The Black Nitride finish resists glare and corrosion while maintaining a professional, subdued appearance that pairs well with modern 1911 builds.
Ed Brown's reputation for precision manufacturing extends to their magazine line—these aren't budget stamped parts, but rather built to the same exacting standards you'll find in their barrels and components. For shooters stocking spares or upgrading a Government-model 1911, this is a straightforward, dependable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work with my 1911 Commander or Officer's model?
No. This Ed Brown magazine is specifically designed for the full-size 1911 Government frame. Commander and Officer models use different magazine wells and require appropriately sized magazines.
Can I use this magazine with hollow point ammunition?
Yes. The heavy-duty spring and steel follower are designed to feed all ammunition types reliably, including modern hollow point bullets.
What's the difference between the thick and thin base pads?
The thick pad is designed for use with a magwell, adding finger purchase and stability. The thin pad provides a low-profile look for carry or standard shooting. You can also remove both pads entirely for a completely flush fit. All hardware is included so you can swap as needed.
Is the Black Nitride finish durable for daily carry?
Yes. The Black Nitride finish resists glare and corrosion, making it suitable for regular use and carry without requiring constant maintenance.
