Colt Firearms 1911 Magazine Features The magazine is the single most common source of stoppages in any semi-automatic pistol which is why a correctly built 1911 magazine in 9mm is worth more attention than most shooters give it. Feed lip geometry spring tension and follower shape all have to be right for the round to present at the correct angle to the chamber and a magazine matched to the pistol and cartridge removes those variables from the equation. This one is built by Colt the name most directly associated with the 1911 platform so the buyer is not guessing whether the tolerances match the pistol they own. For anyone chasing an intermittent failure to feed in a 9mm 1911 swapping in a known-good magazine is the first and cheapest place to look. The stainless steel body brings real corrosion resistance to a component that gets handled constantly with bare hands and stored loaded for long stretches and it holds its shape better than thinner alternatives when magazines get dropped on concrete during reload practice. Maintenance is straightforward since the magazine can be stripped wiped clean of powder residue and lint and reassembled without special tools and that periodic cleaning does more for reliability than anything else a shooter can do to a magazine. Buying spares also means a shooter can rotate magazines rather than leaving one loaded permanently and never giving the spring a rest. For 1911 owners who want to build up a set of matched spare magazines for practice competition or storage this stainless Colt 1911 magazine is available now for sale at GrabAGun.
