Mec-Gar 1911 Full Size Magazine - 11-Round Blued

11-Round 1911 Magazine

This Mec-Gar magazine holds 11 rounds of .45 ACP for full-size 1911 pistols, giving you more rounds per load than a standard-length 1911 magazine. The extra capacity comes from a longer body that extends below the bottom of the frame. It suits range shooters, competitors and 1911 owners who want a spare that carries more between reloads.

Features

• 11-Round Capacity — The extended body holds 11 cartridges and stands proud of the grip when seated.
• .45 ACP Caliber — Built for the .45 ACP cartridge, the round the 1911 was originally designed around.
• Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Tube — The body is formed from carbon steel and heat-treated to harden it against bending and wear.
• Stamped Steel Follower — The follower, the plate that pushes rounds up toward the chamber, is heat-treated stamped steel rather than plastic.
• Music Wire Spring — A high-tensile music wire spring drives the follower and is made to hold its tension over repeated loading.
• Welded Metal Floorplate — The base is welded to the tube, so there is no removable baseplate to work loose.
• Blued Finish — Bluing, a chemical treatment that darkens steel and adds a layer of rust resistance, gives the magazine its deep black color.
• Witness Holes — A staggered row of holes down the side lets you see how many rounds are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• Full-Size 1911 Fit — Made for full-size Government and Commander pattern 1911 frames and similar clones.

Construction And Fit

Every structural part is steel: a heat-treated carbon steel tube, a heat-treated stamped steel follower, a music wire spring and a welded metal floorplate. The Mec-Gar logo is stamped near the base of the tube, and the whole magazine weighs about 0.5 lb. It fits full-size 1911 Government and Commander models and comparable clones in .45 ACP, and because it extends below the frame, check that your magazine pouch or holster setup has room for the longer length.
