ACT-Mag
Authorized Dealer • Made in Italy • OEM Magazines
ACT-Mag builds precision steel pistol magazines in Gardone Val Trompia — the heart of Italy’s historic gun valley — and supplies them as original equipment to leading firearm makers worldwide. The magazines we carry are full-size 1911 spares in 9mm and .45 ACP, machined from high-carbon steel with a blued finish and numbered witness holes. When you want a factory-grade 1911 mag without the factory markup, this is it.
About ACT-Mag
ACT-Mag is an Italian manufacturer of precision steel firearm magazines, built in Gardone Val Trompia in the Brescia region — the historic heart of Italian gunmaking. The company is best known as an OEM supplier, quietly producing factory magazines for leading firearm brands across North America and Europe. At Keep Shooting we carry ACT-Mag’s full-size 1911 magazines in both 9mm and .45 ACP.
ACT-Mag was founded in the early 2000s by three partners — Carlo, Claudio, and Rossano — and operates under the parent company NEWMEC SRL. Its home in Gardone Val Trompia is no accident: the valley has been a center of firearms manufacturing for centuries and is the same region that produced Beretta. That location gives ACT-Mag access to a deep pool of metalworking know-how, and the company pairs it with modern 3D design and precision production to turn out steel and polymer magazine components by the millions. Because so much of its output ships as original equipment for other brands, an ACT-Mag magazine is often the same part you’d get in the box with a new pistol — just without the premium a factory-stamped logo commands.
The ACT-Mag 1911 9mm Magazine is a 10-round spare for full-size Government-frame 1911s chambered in 9mm. It’s built from high-carbon steel with a polished blued finish, a high-tensile spring, and a polymer follower and base plate for smooth, reliable feeding. Numbered witness holes down the side let you confirm your round count at a glance. It drops straight into Rock Island Armory A-1 models and other compatible 9mm 1911 clones, at $24.77.
The ACT-Mag 1911 .45 ACP Magazine is the classic 7-round configuration for full-size .45 ACP 1911s — the load-out John Browning’s design was born with. It uses the same rugged blued steel body and a protective polymer base pad, with numbered witness holes marked 2 through 7. Built to the OEM tolerances ACT-Mag shares with Armscor, it’s a true drop-in factory-replacement spare at $24.46.
For shooters cross-shopping Italian magazine makers, the obvious comparison is Mec-Gar, the other Gardone Val Trompia OEM giant. Both build to factory standards; ACT-Mag’s pitch is that same original-equipment pedigree at a value price.
