Wilson Combat 1911 Mag Full Size 8-Rd Poly Base Pad-Ss Tube
The Wilson Combat 1911 mag with full-size 8-round capacity and stainless steel tube is built for shooters who demand reliability in a .45 ACP magazine. If you run a 1911 for duty, competition, or serious sport shooting, you know that magazine quality directly affects your gun's performance—Wilson Combat has been the choice of military special operations units, FBI SWAT teams, and professional shooters for three decades. This magazine delivers the fit, durability, and feed reliability that separates a functional pistol from one you can actually count on.
The heart of Wilson's reputation is material and design discipline. The tube is manufactured from .027" aircraft-grade 17-7 PH stainless steel—the thickest in the industry—and heat-treated for maximum durability and long service life. The magazine spring is wound from maximum tensile strength heavy-duty wire, engineered for consistent feeding and reliable slide stop lockback, even after thousands of rounds. The stainless steel GI follower guides rounds smoothly into the chamber without binding or tipping.
The removable .350" polymer base pad simplifies maintenance and lets you swap pads to suit different needs or shooting environments. Dimensional tolerances are held tight enough that you'll get perfect drop-free function and consistent round seating, so long as your pistol and ammunition are in spec. Wilson stands behind every magazine with a no-risk service policy: if it breaks from normal use, they replace it. For a 1911 shooter, that's peace of mind built into the magazine tube.
