1911 Magazines at Keep Shooting
Keep Shooting carries replacement and spare magazines for the John Browning 1911 from the factory and aftermarket brands that 1911 shooters actually trust — Wilson Combat, Mec-Gar, Ed Brown, Colt, SIG Sauer, Springfield Armory, Ruger, Auto Ordnance, and KCI. Our catalog covers the full spectrum of the 1911 pattern: 7-round .45 ACP single-stacks (the original 1911 capacity that John Browning designed in 1911), modern 8-round .45 ACP mags for full-size guns, officer-frame Springfield EMP magazines in 9mm and .40 S&W, and 9-round Ruger SR1911 9mm magazines for the modern conversions of the platform.
Wilson Combat is the gold standard of 1911 magazines and the brand most serious 1911 shooters specify for carry guns and competition pistols. Wilson Combat magazines are manufactured for them by Metalform with the Wilson name stamped on the tube, and they use a welded-on metal stop tab — instead of a plastic base pad bumper — to prevent over-insertion into the magazine well. Our Wilson Combat 1911 lineup covers the most common configurations: 7-round .45 ACP in black or stainless, 7-round .45 ACP with the standard base pad, and 8-round .45 ACP in stainless. Wilson's reputation has been built on mags that simply run — no problems, no break-in, no tuning — for the entire service life of the magazine, which is why they ship in custom 1911s from Nighthawk, Ed Brown, Les Baer, and Wilson's own custom shop.
Mec-Gar is the other half of the "best value 1911 magazine" conversation. The Italian manufacturer is the OEM supplier for a remarkable list of factory pistols — Beretta, SIG Sauer, CZ, Walther, and Browning all ship Mec-Gar magazines from the factory in many of their handguns — and the company's 1911 mags carry the same engineering: no ridge or weld lines on the tube, a synthetic anti-tilt follower, secure base pads, and a track record of passing drop tests and 12-month loaded-storage tests without spring set. Our Mec-Gar Colt 1911 Blued 7-Round Magazine is built for full-size .45 ACP Colts, and the Mec-Gar 1911 40SW 8-Round Magazine fits .40 S&W 1911 conversions where most aftermarket brands do not bother to support the caliber.
Ed Brown is one of the most respected names in custom 1911 building — Ed Brown's pistols and parts are used as original-equipment components in custom shops nationwide — and our Ed Brown 1911 Government 7-Round Stainless Steel Magazine carries the same fit and finish standards as their complete pistols. For factory original equipment, we carry Colt's own 1911 Magazine in 8-round stainless (the magazine Colt currently ships with the Government Model and the 1991A1), the Auto Ordnance 1911 Magazine in blued steel (the OEM mag for Auto Ordnance / Kahr Arms 1911s), and the budget-friendly KCI 1911 8-round magazine for high-volume range use where you do not want to abuse a $30 Wilson on the practice range.
For the modern 1911 platforms that have moved beyond the original .45 ACP single-stack, we carry the full SIG Sauer and Springfield Armory factory lineups. The SIG Sauer 1911 Compact Magazine fits the SIG 1911 Compact and Ultra-Compact carry guns. The SIG Sauer 1911 Full Size 45ACP 8-Round Magazine is the OEM mag for the SIG 1911 Traditional and Emperor Scorpion full-size pistols. The Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Magazine and Springfield Armory 1911 Magazine in stainless cover the Springfield Mil-Spec, GI, Loaded, and TRP full-size guns. The Springfield Armory 1911 EMP series — Enhanced Micro Pistol — is Springfield's officer-frame 9mm and .40 S&W subcompact 1911, and we stock the EMP 9mm magazine, the EMP 40 S&W magazine, and the EMP Lightweight Champion 9mm magazine. Ruger's SR1911 family is covered by the SR1911 7-round, SR1911 8-round, and SR1911 9mm 9-round magazines.
Choosing the right 1911 magazine comes down to fit, capacity, and intended use. Stick with the original 7-round capacity if you want the cleanest historical configuration, factory-spec feeding, and the slimmest possible base pad profile for concealed carry. Step up to 8 rounds for one extra round of capacity in a full-size duty or range gun. For 9mm and .40 S&W 1911s, factory-spec OEM magazines from the original manufacturer are almost always the right answer — these platforms are tighter on geometry than .45 ACP and benefit from being matched to the gun they were designed for.
