SIG Sauer 1911 Compact Magazine

Compact 1911 Magazine

This is SIG Sauer's factory magazine for its compact-frame 1911 pistols, holding seven rounds of .45 ACP. The short grip on a compact 1911 needs a shorter magazine than the full-size gun, and this one is sized to fit it. It suits owners who want spares for the range, a carry reload, or a direct replacement for a worn or lost original.

Features

• .45 ACP Chambering — The body is stamped 45 ACP near the base, so you can identify the calibre at a glance.
• 7-Round Capacity — It holds seven cartridges, the standard load for a compact 1911 magazine in this calibre.
• Stainless Steel Body — Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion better than blued carbon steel, which matters on a magazine carried close to the body.
• Witness Holes — A row of small holes along the side lets you check how many rounds are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• High-Tensile Steel Spring — The spring is made from high-tensile steel, which keeps the tension needed to push each round up into position.
• Removable Floor Plate — The base plate comes off, so you can strip the magazine for cleaning or spring replacement.
• SIG 1911 Compact And Ultra Fit — It is made for SIG Sauer 1911 Compact and Ultra models.
• Made In The USA — SIG Sauer manufactures this magazine in the United States.

Fit And Construction

The magazine is built to fit SIG Sauer's own 1911 Compact and Ultra pistols, and it carries the manufacturer part number MAG-1911-45-7. It has a bare stainless finish, with the feed lips formed at the top to hold the top round in line for the slide to strip it into the chamber. If you shoot a 1911 from another maker, check that the grip length and magazine dimensions match before buying.
