Description
Wilson Combat built its reputation on 1911 magazines, and the 47DCB is the version designed for shooters who want a full-size Government or Commander platform that runs without coddling. The low-profile steel base pad keeps the footprint trim — useful when the magazine needs to clear a holster or sit flush with the grip during carry — while still being robust enough to absorb the impact of a drop without deforming or cracking the way polymer pads can over time.
The tube is formed from aircraft-grade 17-7 PH stainless steel and heat-treated after forming, which maintains dimensional consistency under the repeated compression and release cycle that a magazine spring imposes on the body over thousands of insertions. The black fluoropolymer finish resists corrosion and cuts surface reflection without adding meaningful thickness to the tube walls.
Inside, a fiber-infused nylon follower moves on a heavy-duty spring wound to maintain consistent tension across all eight rounds. That tension matters specifically at the top of the stack: inconsistent spring force at full compression is a common cause of failure-to-feed on the first round, and it is also what drives reliable slide-lock when the last round clears. This magazine addresses both through spring rate rather than through geometry tricks. Wilson Combat manufactures this magazine in the United States and it fits full-size Government and Commander-length 1911 pistols, as well as most 1911-pattern clones built to standard dimensions.
