Wilson Combat 1911 Elite Tactical Handgun Magazine .38 Super 10/rd ETM Base Pad Mag

The Wilson Combat 1911 Elite Tactical magazine in .38 Super is a purpose-built 10-round capacity magazine engineered for full-size 1911 platforms. Built from stainless steel with Wilson's proprietary ETM (Elite Tactical Magazine) tube design, this magazine prioritizes durability and reliability in demanding shooting applications. The heavy-duty construction resists the feed-lip cracking, tube spread, and fatigue issues that plague lesser magazines, making it a smart choice for competition shooters, defensive pistol users, and hunters who depend on consistent performance.

Wilson Combat's multi-step tumbling and finishing process ensures smooth follower operation and easy insertion, while the removable base pad enables quick maintenance and compatibility with alternative pad options if your setup changes. The nylon follower provides positive slide lock when empty—a feature that matters during training and tactical drills. Wide observation slots positioned at the rear of the tube let you verify your round count without compromising structural strength. Loading and seating the magazine work smoothly even with the slide in battery, and the design feeds reliably across a broad spectrum of .38 Super ammunition types.

If you're running .38 Super in a full-size 1911 and tired of magazine problems derailing range sessions or competition, the Wilson Combat Elite Tactical magazine delivers the robustness you expect from the brand. Ten rounds of dependable capacity in a magazine built to outlast careless handling and repeated use.
