Wilson Combat 47 Series 1911 Officer .45 ACP Stainless Steel Magazine with Base Pad

The Wilson Combat 47 Series 1911 Officer .45 ACP magazine in stainless steel is purpose-built for shooters who demand reliability in a compact package. If you run a short-slide 1911 or Officer-frame 1911, you need a magazine that feeds consistently, stays put, and holds up to the abuse of regular shooting and storage. Wilson Combat has been the go-to for serious 1911 users—military units, law enforcement, professional shooters—for over three decades, and this Officer-sized mag carries that same no-compromise design into a smaller footprint.

The build quality speaks for itself. The tube is stamped from .027" aircraft-grade 17-7 PH stainless steel (the thickest in the industry) and heat-treated for durability that will outlast careless handling and long-term storage without loss of function. The spring is made from maximum tensile strength heavy-duty wire, engineered to feed rounds reliably and keep the slide stop working positive every time. The nylon follower is self-lubricating, so rounds move through the tube smoothly under any condition. You get a removable .350" plastic base pad that comes off for cleaning and swaps out if you want different pad options down the road.

Wilson Combat's dimensional tolerances are held tight enough that the mag will drop free from your pistol without wobble, and rounds sit snug in the tube without binding—assuming your 1911 and ammo are in spec. This isn't a magazine that needs breaking in or careful handling; it works out of the box and stays reliable whether you're running it hot at the range or keeping it loaded for months at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine fit my 1911 Officer or short-slide pistol?

What makes Wilson Combat magazines different from other .45 ACP mags?

Wilson Combat uses .027" tube walls (the thickest in the industry), maximum tensile strength springs, a self-lubricating follower, and heat-treated aircraft-grade stainless steel. The result is a magazine that feeds reliably, stays loaded without damage, and lasts through years of use and storage.

Can I leave this magazine loaded for extended periods?

Yes. The heavy-duty spring and heat-treated steel construction are engineered to remain fully loaded for long periods without loss of function or damage to the magazine or rounds.
