Wilson Combat Elite Tactical 1911 Officer 9mm 10-Round Stainless Steel Magazine with Low Profile Base Pad

The Wilson Combat Elite Tactical 1911 Officer 9mm 10-round stainless steel magazine is built for shooters who demand reliability in their single-stack 9mm platform. This isn't generic magazine steel—Wilson Combat engineered these tubes with .025" walls, the thickest in the industry, to resist the feed lip cracking, tube spread, and fatigue that plague lesser designs. Whether you're running a production 1911 or a finely tuned custom, this magazine delivers the kind of consistent performance that separates a trustworthy carry gun from a paperweight.

The redesigned geometry addresses real-world feeding problems. A small front ramp prevents nose-dive malfunctions with short rounds and hollowpoints, while the reworked back spacer accommodates long-loaded ammunition across a spectrum of factory and handload specs. The stainless steel follower and extra-power spring ensure positive slide lockback—even in guns with marginal or poorly fitted slide stops, a problem Bill Wilson spent months solving through thousands of rounds of testing. The low-profile base pad is removable, giving you flexibility to swap in different pads or maintain the magazine quickly without breaking down the gun.

These magazines are numbered for easy identification and observation slots are positioned at the rear of the tube—a detail that matters because it preserves structural integrity where it counts. Load and seat them with the slide forward. Stainless construction means you get the strongest tube yet from Wilson Combat's manufacturing process, with a proprietary multi-step tumbling and finishing that ensures smooth follower operation and reliable insertion every time.

From the range to duty use, the Elite Tactical 9mm magazine handles everything a 1911 shooter throws at it. Wilson's no-risk service policy backs up the engineering: tube spread or crack from normal use, and they replace it. Note: some Kimber 1911s ship with undressed barrel feed ramps that may interfere with the ramped front; a gunsmith can quickly dress the ramp to spec.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine work in my production 1911?

Yes. Wilson Combat redesigned these magazines to feed reliably across a wide variety of both custom and production 9mm 1911s. The steel follower and extra-power spring ensure positive slide lockback even in guns with marginal or incorrectly fitted slide stops. However, some Kimber 1911s ship with undressed barrel feed ramps that may interfere with the magazine's ramped front—have a gunsmith dress the ramp if needed.

What ammunition does this magazine feed reliably?

The redesigned front ramp and back spacer are engineered to handle a wide range of ammunition types, including short rounds, hollow points, and long-loaded ammunition. Bill Wilson tested these magazines with thousands of rounds of factory and reloaded 9mm across multiple firearms to ensure consistent feeding.

Can I swap out the base pad?

Yes. The low-profile base pad is removable, allowing you to replace it with different options or perform quick maintenance without disassembling the magazine tube.

What's Wilson Combat's warranty on these magazines?

Wilson Combat backs these magazines with a no-risk service policy: if the tube spreads or cracks from normal use, they will replace it.
