Springfield Armory 1911 Compact Magazine - 6-Round

Compact 1911 Magazine

This is the factory magazine for Springfield Armory's compact 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. It holds six rounds and is sized for the shorter grip of a compact frame, so it sits flush instead of hanging below the gun. Owners usually buy it as a spare to carry or as a replacement for a worn original.

Features

• Factory Original Equipment — Springfield Armory builds this magazine to its own specifications and tolerances, the same part that ships with the pistol (part number PI4726).
• .45 ACP, 6-Round Capacity — A single stack of six .45 ACP cartridges fills the shorter magazine well of a compact 1911.
• Stainless Steel Body — The brushed stainless tube resists rust and handles holster sweat and humidity better than a plain blued finish.
• Stainless Follower and Base Plate — The follower, the platform that pushes rounds up toward the feed lips, is stainless steel, and so is the flat base plate at the bottom.
• High Tensile Spring Steel — The magazine spring uses high tensile spring steel for consistent pressure on the follower round after round.
• Witness Holes — Five holes along the side of the body let you see how many rounds are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• Magazine Catch Cutout — A slot in the body engages the pistol's magazine release so the magazine locks in place and drops free when released.
• Stamped Caliber Marking — "45 ACP" is stamped near the base, which helps if you keep magazines for more than one caliber.

Fit and Construction

The magazine fits Springfield Armory 1911 compact models chambered in .45 ACP. Full-size 1911 frames take a longer magazine, so check your pistol's frame size before ordering. Every major part is stainless steel except the spring, which is high tensile spring steel.
