The CM Products Shooting Star 1911 Government/Commander .45 ACP 8-round steel magazine is a no-frills, purpose-built magazine for full-size 1911 platforms. Built from laser-welded stainless steel with a welded base plate, this magazine combines durability with the proven flush-fit GI-style profile that feeds reliably in Government and Commander frames. If you run a 1911 for defense, competition, or the range, having dependable magazines matters—and this one delivers the capacity and construction to back up daily carry or intensive training.
The Shooting Star uses an extra-power spring to maintain consistent tension through hundreds of cycles, resisting the spring fatigue that can plague budget magazines. The laser-welded tube and smooth finish make loading and removal from the mag well effortless, even during rapid reloads. The magazine is designed with an 8-round capacity in .45 ACP, giving you a full load in a footprint that doesn't compromise concealment or comfort in waistband carry.
Chip McCormick's reputation in 1911 circles rests on attention to the details shooters care about: reliable feed, tough construction, and straightforward design. This magazine reflects that philosophy. If you want to upgrade your 1911's magazine lineup without gimmicks or marketing noise, the Shooting Star is a solid choice for keeping your gun running when it matters.
