I've a few 8 round McCormick Shooting Star magazines - never had a problem. I've got some Wilson 8 round magazines - never had a problem. I've got some Pachmayr 7 round magazines - never had a problem. By the way, the Pachmayr's allow me to use semi-wadcutters with no problem in my Springfield Armory 1911. In all, I've never had a problem with any of the above.

Either Wilson, McCormick, or Megs.

7 rounders might be slightly more reliable than 8 rounders.

I have been shooting 1911's since 1968.

Many, many days I have fired over 1000 [one thousand] rounds in a day.

A good way to carry extra magazines so they do not get dort or water on them is in a Pelican 1020 case.

If your base pads are not too large it will hold 6 magazines.

Rusty,
Wilson 47Ds are pretty much the gold standard. McCormicks are very good.
Tripp Cobra Mags are a little more expensive but as good or better than the Wilsons in my experience.

I've used the Les Baer mags that came with my Baer pistols and they are the equal of the McCormicks and maybe even the Wilsons.

From what I've seen hanging on the belts at USPSA/IPSC matches, Chip McCormick Power Mags,
8 and 10 rounders, are favored by most of the shooters.

All i use in my TRP is Wilson 47D's and the two factory mags it came with. I've never had a malfunction. I've used McCormicks in my old Kimber with no problems also.

I like the Wilson's but pricey. The CMPM is a good mag for the money. I haven't got a lot of rounds through the CMPM I bought to replace some Wislon's I gave my PH when he was visiting, but they run 100% in several diff. 1911s.
