CMC Products 12131 Power Mag Plus Stainless Steel 8rd .45 ACP Magazine for 1911 Government with Black Base Pad

The Chip McCormick Power Mag Plus is a purpose-built 1911 magazine engineered for shooters who demand reliable feeding and rugged durability. This 8-round .45 ACP magazine for full-size 1911 Government frames combines stainless steel construction with thoughtful design details that make it stand out among standard 1911 magazines. Whether you're running competition stages, logging time at the range, or carrying for personal defense, the Power Mag Plus delivers the consistent performance that separates good gear from great gear.

What sets this magazine apart is the POWER+ follower—a design that's specifically safe for aluminum alloy frame 1911s. That follower stays inside the tube where it belongs, feeding smoothly without slamming into the frame when you drop the slide on an empty mag. It's a small detail that matters more than you'd think, especially if you own a lighter, alloy-framed 1911. The stainless steel body handles harsh environments, salt air, and hard use without rusting or corroding, and the laser-welded tube ensures the mag holds together through years of reloading and dropping.

Practical touches abound: numbered witness holes let you count rounds at a glance, the removable base pad makes field cleaning and spring maintenance simple, and the smooth finish feeds reliably in and out of the mag well. A high-tensile Rocket Wire spring keeps tension consistent across the full range of loads, so feeding stays predictable whether you're in round three or round eight. This is the kind of magazine that works when it matters.
