Engineered as a true 8 round magazine, this magazine has all the features of the original Ed Brown 7 round magazine that has proven itself over the last century. Features that you know it should have, like a steel follower, heavy duty spring, and super-tough base pad. The magazine tube has been lengthened and the base pad wraps around securely, to properly accommodate the 8th round while keeping the original ultra-reliable follower design. The integral base pad easily removes for disassembly and cleaning of the magazine. A special finish process makes this magazine tube and follower very slick, while staying dry to repel dirt and burnt powder. This makes it super easy to load and insert i Mfg: Ed Brown
