Wilson Combat 47 Series 1911 Government/Commander .45 ACP Magazine with Base Pad - Stainless Steel

The Wilson Combat 47 Series 1911 magazine is purpose-built for shooters who depend on their .45 ACP—whether you're running a Government or Commander-frame pistol at the range, in competition, or for duty carry. These stainless steel magazines combine battle-tested engineering with materials designed to handle serious use: aircraft-grade certified stainless tubes with .027" walls (among the thickest in the industry), heat-treated for maximum durability, and paired with a heavy-duty spring made from high-tensile wire to minimize spring set and extend service life.

The self-lubricating Fiber-Fill nylon follower feeds rounds smoothly and reliably into the chamber, while the removable base pad makes field maintenance and customization straightforward. That removable base pad also means you can adapt the magazine to different configurations without replacing the entire unit. Wilson Combat engineered these mags to function flawlessly in all 1911 platforms and to perform when loaded long-term without degradation.

Built for competitors, hunters, and professionals who need magazines that won't let them down, the 47 Series delivers the kind of proven reliability that comes from decades of real-world testing and refinement.
