The Mec-Gar MGCG4510N is a standard nickel extended 10-round magazine purpose-built for the 1911 Government platform in .45 ACP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit my 1911?
This magazine is designed for the 1911 Government platform in .45 ACP. Verify your 1911 variant before purchase; some clones or variants may require testing for perfect fit.
