Sig Sauer 1911 Full Size 45ACP 8-Round Magazine

Sig 1911 45 ACP Magazine

This is Sig Sauer's own 8-round magazine for its full-size 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. Most owners run several: one in the gun, spares on the belt, and a few for the range so they are not reloading between every string. A factory magazine from the pistol's maker takes the guesswork out of fit and feeding.

Features

• 8-Round Capacity — The magazine holds eight rounds of .45 ACP in a single stack, so the cartridges sit in one column rather than staggered side by side.
• Full-Size 1911 Length — The body is sized for full-size 1911 frames, the classic Government-length grip.
• Bright Steel Body — The tube has a bright silver steel finish that is easy to tell apart from blued or black magazines in a range bag.
• Numbered Witness Holes — Holes marked 2 through 8 run down the body, so you can see at a glance how many rounds are loaded.
• Extended Base Pad — A black polymer floorplate with ridged sides adds a little length, which helps seat the magazine firmly and gives you something to grip if it needs stripping out.
• Black Follower — The follower, the plate that pushes cartridges up toward the chamber, is black and shows clearly through the witness holes and the feed lips.
• Magazine Catch Cutout — A slot on the side of the body engages the pistol's magazine catch to lock the magazine in place until you press the release.
• Sig Sauer Factory Part — It is made by Sig Sauer as an OEM magazine, meaning it comes from the same company that builds the pistol.

Fit and Construction

The magazine is built for Sig Sauer full-size 1911 pistols in .45 ACP. It pairs a steel body and formed feed lips with a polymer base pad and follower. Check that your pistol is a full-size .45 ACP 1911 before ordering, because compact frames and other calibers need a different magazine.
