The CMC Products 14132 Power Mag is a purpose-built 8-round magazine for 1911 Officer Compact pistols in .45 ACP, engineered for shooters who demand reliability and longevity from their carry and duty magazines. Chip McCormick Custom built this magazine with tighter tolerances than military-spec standards—holding dimensions to +/- .001"—which translates to better feeding consistency, tighter seating in the magwell, and reduced wear on both the magazine and your pistol's feed lips over thousands of rounds.
The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, and the removable black base pad makes field stripping and cleaning straightforward when you need to inspect springs and follower for wear. That's practical design for a magazine that might spend months loaded in a duty holster or range bag. The aerospace-grade wire coil is engineered to maintain spring tension without loosening or fatiguing—critical when your magazine sits fully loaded for extended periods, since weak or degraded springs are a common source of feeding failures.
Whether you're running a compact 1911 for concealed carry, duty use, or regular range work, this magazine prioritizes the kind of reliability that matters when the gun needs to work. Eight rounds is standard capacity for Officer's ACP, and CMC's manufacturing tolerances give you confidence that each round will feed when you need it.

No—this is designed specifically for the 1911 Officer Compact frame. Full-size 1911 magazines will not fit Officer Compact pistols reliably. Always verify your pistol's magazine compatibility before purchase.
Tighter tolerances mean less variation between individual magazines and a more precise fit in your magwell. This reduces feeding inconsistencies, minimizes rattle, and reduces wear on internal components—especially important if you carry or store the magazine fully loaded.
The black removable base pad is included with this magazine. You can remove it anytime for cleaning or maintenance.
We can't recommend a specific number—that depends on your use case and training routine. Many shooters carry one magazine in the gun and at least one spare. Check your local laws and your pistol's documentation for any capacity restrictions in your area.
