Mec-Gar Colt 1911 Blued 7-Round Magazine

Seven-Round 1911 Magazine

This Mec-Gar magazine holds seven rounds of .45 ACP and fits full-size 1911 pistols, the Colt Government pattern most 1911 owners carry. Seven rounds is the original 1911 capacity, so the magazine sits flush in the grip, works with standard magazine pouches, and feeds the way the pistol was designed to. It suits owners who want spares for the range, a carry rotation, or a replacement for a worn factory magazine.

Features

• .45 ACP, 7-Round Capacity — The magazine holds seven .45 ACP cartridges, which matches the standard capacity of a full-size 1911.
• Heat-Treated Carbon Steel Tube — The body is carbon steel hardened by heat treatment, so the feed lips keep their shape through repeated loading and drops.
• Blued Finish — Bluing is a controlled oxidation process that turns the steel a deep black and adds a degree of rust resistance, and it matches the look of a traditional blued 1911.
• Numbered Witness Holes — Side holes marked 2 through 7 let you see how many rounds are loaded without stripping the magazine.
• High-Tensile Music Wire Spring — Music wire is a hard, springy steel wire that holds its tension well, giving consistent pressure to push each round up for feeding.
• Stamped Steel Follower — The follower, the plate that rides on the spring and lifts the cartridges, is heat-treated stamped steel.
• Welded Flush-Fit Baseplate — A metal baseplate welded to the tube sits nearly level with the bottom of the grip, keeping the profile low for carry and holster use.
• Made In Italy — Mec-Gar builds the magazine in Italy, and the tube is stamped with the country of origin and the Mec-Gar logo.

Construction and Fit

The magazine is sized for full-size 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP, carried under Mec-Gar model number MGCG4507B. Construction is all steel: carbon steel tube, steel follower, music wire spring and a welded metal baseplate, finished in bluing. The tube is stamped .45 near the base so it is easy to tell apart from other calibers in a range bag.
