CMC Products 14131 Power Mag Stainless Steel 8rd .45 ACP Magazine with Black Base Pad for 1911 Government

The Chip McCormick Custom Power Mag is a stainless steel 8-round magazine purpose-built for 1911 Government .45 ACP pistols. If you shoot 1911s for competition, duty, or self-defense, you know that reliable feeding isn't negotiable—and this magazine is engineered to deliver it, even under demanding conditions. CMC's reputation in the custom 1911 world rests on attention to detail, and the Power Mag reflects that same commitment: roll-formed and polished feed lips (not die-cut), a proprietary follower design, and Rocket Wire springs that stay strong even after extended storage fully loaded.

The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and offers a professional appearance that works on duty rigs, competition belts, or the range. The black removable base pad adds subtle contrast and is designed to handle the repetitive handling that comes with frequent shooting—loading, unloading, and reloading without premature wear. Numbered witness holes on both sides let you do a fast visual count without dumping rounds, a small feature that saves time between stages or when checking your kit.

At 8 rounds, this magazine runs standard capacity for 1911s, and the slightly extended base pad adds roughly a quarter inch to overall length, giving your pinky finger a bit more purchase without changing how the gun handles significantly. Whether you're feeding match-grade wadcutters, hollow points for defense, or ball ammo for the range, the follower and feed lip geometry are designed to strip rounds reliably from the mag lips and into the chamber.
