I probably should have added the question about whether you guys agree with the Larry Vickers' wisdom to use only original factory mags, instead of aftermarket examples. Any thoughts? Thanks- Pat

I have used both Wilson and CM mags in IPSC competition for a few years. I've had a few plastic Wilson followers crack, and the lips of the Wilsons seem to spring out over time. I've never had either issue with the McCormicks. With the 1911, I think the aftermarket mags are far better than most gun manufacturers ship with the new pistols- Wilson, Baer, and Ed Brown excluded of course. A lot of the guys with far more pistol experience than myself will also recommend to stick w/ 7 round mags. I have never had an issue with the 8 round CM mags, and I have a few mags that have seen thousands of rounds. I think the decision to go w/ 8 round mags should be based on a bunch of range trips to see if they create any issues in a particular pistol. Last Edited By: Bryan 45 11/23/08 11:17 AM.

I have a completely virgin (hopefully not for much longer...) Taurus PT1911B that I need to shoot and assess for compatibility with the included factory 8 round mags. I think Santa might need to include about four Chip McCormicks in his oh so voluminous bag o' goodies... By the way, what are 'power mags'? Thanks, Pat

But, I have more rounds through the Power Mags, so I have a little more to base an opinion on with these.
