The CMC Triggers Classic Competition 7-round .45 ACP steel magazine delivers GI-style reliability with modern materials. Built around the traditional flush-fit profile that's been trusted in 1911 competition and service use for generations, this mag combines time-tested geometry with fresh engineering for shooters who demand consistency through every round. Whether you're running matches, training at the range, or keeping a tested platform in the safe, a set of quality steel mags is foundational to reliable 1911 function.
CMC spec'd this tube with stainless steel construction and laser-welded seams to handle the cycling demands of competitive shooting. The full-length witness holes let you confirm your round count at a glance—critical when you're managing magazine rotation between stages or verifying load-outs before a match. The followers and internals are designed to lock in tension and release rounds consistently, and the extra-power spring maintains that tension over the magazine's service life, resisting the compression loss that soft springs accumulate.
The base plate is drilled for fastening, giving you the option to run a custom pad or keeper once you source a compatible base pad and screws. This modular approach is standard in the 1911 world and lets you tailor fit and function to your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine work with my 1911?
Yes—the CMC Classic Competition magazine is built to GI-style dimensions and will function in any standard 1911 chambered in .45 ACP. Check your pistol's manual or verify with the manufacturer if you're unsure about compatibility with a specific frame or variant.
What base plate comes with this magazine?
The magazine ships without a base pad or screws installed. The tube is drilled and ready for you to add a compatible GI-spec base pad and fasteners from your preferred supplier or custom shop.
Are the witness holes helpful during competition?
Absolutely. The full-length holes let you see your round count without removing the mag from the pouch or gun, which is handy for managing your ammo supply between stages or verifying load-outs before your match.
How does the extra-power spring compare to standard magazine springs?
The stronger spring maintains pressure longer, resisting the compression and tension loss that lighter springs develop over time. This keeps feeding reliable and consistent through extended shooting sessions and regular carry.
