The CMC Products 14311 ClassicBlack 8-round .45 ACP 1911 Government magazine is a full-size 1911 magazine built for shooters who demand reliability without frills. If you run a Government-frame 1911—whether for competition, duty, or serious practice—this is a no-nonsense option that delivers the capacity and durability Chip McCormick Custom has built its reputation on. The tube is laser-welded stainless steel with a welded base plate, designed to handle the pressure cycles of centerfire .45 ACP loads without degradation.
The ClassicBlack follows the traditional flush-fit GI-style profile, so it seats cleanly in your 1911's magwell without snags or wobble. CMC engineers this magazine with an enhanced follower and extra-power spring that maintains consistent feed tension through the entire 8-round cycle—critical when you're counting on reliable insertion and lock in a fighting gun or on the range. The smooth finish on the tube makes insertion and removal fast, even under gloved conditions or after extended shooting sessions when your hands might be sweaty or fatigued.
What sets this option apart is the included polymer base pad and screws. Unlike magazines that force you to choose between GI aesthetics and practical handling, the ClassicBlack ships ready to go either way: run it flush if you prefer the traditional look, or install the base pad for extra purchase when stripping the mag or managing it in a pouch. The hardware is included, so there's no hunting for fasteners or compatibility headaches.
