MAG WILSON .350 BASE PAD 7RD 45ACP

Description

Wilson Combat has been producing 1911 magazines for serious shooters for decades, and the Model 47 reflects the kind of refinement that comes from that depth of experience. This is a straightforward choice for anyone running a full-size 1911 in .45 ACP who wants a factory-quality spare that feeds reliably and holds up to regular use.

The body is stainless steel, which resists corrosion better than blued steel and handles the wear of repeated insertion and removal without deforming at the feed lips over time. That material choice matters when a magazine is going in and out of a range bag or a carry rig on a regular basis.

The follower is polymer, which reduces the friction a steel follower creates against the inside of the tube as rounds feed upward. Less drag on the follower means more consistent upward pressure on the stack, which keeps the top round positioned correctly for the slide to strip and chamber it cleanly. The .350-inch polymer base pad gives you just enough grip surface to strip the magazine quickly without adding meaningful bulk to the grip frame.

Seven rounds is the traditional single-stack .45 ACP capacity for a Government-length 1911, so the magazine seats flush and does not alter the handling characteristics of the pistol. If you run a full-size 1911 and want to build a reliable rotation of proven magazines rather than experiment with unknowns, the Wilson Combat 47 is a sensible place to start.
