Wilson Combat Elite Tactical 1911 Government/Commander 45 ACP 8-Round Magazine with Base Pad

The Wilson Combat Elite Tactical 1911 Government/Commander 45 ACP 8-round magazine is built for shooters who demand reliability in defensive, competitive, and tactical scenarios. Wilson Combat's three decades of 1911 magazine expertise show in every detail—from the engineered stainless steel body that resists cracking under stress to the self-lubricating polymer follower that feeds rounds cleanly without nose-dives or double feeds. Whether you're training hard, competing, or carrying daily, this magazine keeps running when it matters.

The body design is where Wilson Combat separates itself from standard magazines. Extra-thick stainless steel is formed with carefully engineered curves that minimize stress concentration points; the witness holes are positioned toward the rear to enhance structural integrity rather than compromise it. The proprietary welding, deburring, and polishing process creates a seam so smooth and strong that your follower moves freely and the magazine seats effortlessly in the mag well, even with a fully loaded stack. Lower spring tension than typical magazines means easier loading and extended spring life—critical if you're running high round counts or daily carry.

The polymer base pad gives you a solid purchase in wet conditions without adding bulk, and it strips off in seconds for cleaning. Rounds 1 through 10 are stamped on the magazine body to help you track usage across your gun safe. Choose natural Silver or Black Oxide finish depending on your rifle or pistol aesthetic.
