Springfield Armory 1911-A1 Magazine

Springfield 1911-A1 Mag

This is a Springfield Armory magazine for 1911-A1 pattern pistols chambered in .45 ACP. It is a plain, flush-fitting steel magazine in the traditional style. Owners pick up spares for range sessions, for carry, or to keep a classic 1911 setup looking correct. The design follows the original, with a black-finished steel tube, a flat base plate and witness holes down both sides.

Features

• .45 ACP Chambering — The body is stamped "45 ACP" near the base, so you can tell it apart from 9mm or .38 Super 1911 magazines at a glance.
• Steel Body — The tube is formed from sheet steel and given a black finish to match blued and black 1911 pistols.
• Witness Holes On Both Sides — Staggered round holes run down each side, letting you see how many cartridges are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• Formed Feed Lips — The top edges of the tube curve inward to hold the top round in place until the slide strips it into the chamber.
• Steel Follower — A stamped metal follower, the plate that rides on the spring and pushes rounds upward, sits at the top of the stack.
• Magazine Catch Cutout — A slot in the side of the tube engages the pistol's magazine release, locking the magazine in the grip until you press the button.
• Flat Base Plate — A slim steel floorplate with a short forward lip finishes the bottom without an extended bumper pad, keeping the profile flush with the grip.
• 1911-A1 Pattern — The magazine follows the classic 1911-A1 layout for single-stack .45 ACP pistols built to that design.

Fit And Construction

The magazine is intended for full-size 1911-A1 pattern pistols in .45 ACP. Single-stack means the rounds sit in one straight column. Because frames vary between makers, confirm your pistol takes standard 1911 .45 ACP magazines before ordering. The construction is simple: a steel tube, a spring, a metal follower and a flat base plate. If your pistol shipped with this pattern, a spare will feel and seat the same as the original.
