Wilson Combat Elite Tactical ETM 1911 Officer 9mm 8-Round Stainless Steel Magazine with Low Profile Base Pad

Wilson Combat's Elite Tactical ETM 1911 Officer 9mm 8-round stainless steel magazine is purpose-built for shooters who demand reliability in a compact, single-stack platform. Whether you're running a 1911 Officer in competition, training, or defensive carry, this magazine combines decades of Wilson Combat's gunsmith expertise with precision engineering to feed cleanly and run hard in real conditions.

The mag body is formed from extra-thick stainless steel with each curve engineered to reduce stress concentration—a design philosophy that virtually eliminates the feed lip cracking and fatigue failures that plague lesser magazines. Wilson Combat's proprietary welding, deburring, and polishing process creates an unusually strong, super-smooth seam that lets the follower move without snagging and seats easily in the mag well. The non-tilt follower is made from self-lubricating polymer that fully supports your round stack, preventing nose-dives and double feeds even under rapid fire or in unforgiving conditions.

The low profile base pad keeps a clean line in carry or competition, while the mag body design reduces spring tension compared to standard magazines—meaning easier loading with the slide closed and extended spring life over time. Witness holes numbered 1 through 10 stamped on the bottom let you track rounds fired and rotation across your magazine collection, a small detail that separates quality gear from the rest.
