Ed Brown 1911 Government 38 Super 9-Round Stainless Steel Magazine$27.95
Availability: In Stock
The Ed Brown 1911 Government Full Size 9mm 9-round magazine delivers the kind of reliability shooters demand from a modern carry or competition pistol. Built on the foundation of Ed Brown's proven .45 ACP magazine design, the Model 849 applies that same uncompromising engineering to the 9mm Luger chambering—so you don't have to settle for off-the-shelf alternatives when you've invested in a quality 1911 in America's most popular handgun caliber.
Construction sets these magazines apart. The body is formed from heat-treated 410 stainless steel with a welded-on baseplate that keeps overall dimensions trim—useful if you're carrying concealed or want to maintain the proportions your 1911 was designed for. Unlike cheaper competitors, the follower is hardened steel, not plastic, riding on a heavy-duty spring that maintains consistent round pressure through the magazine's full capacity. Ed Brown's proprietary hydro-finish process polishes both the body and follower to a slick surface that sheds fouling and reduces friction, ensuring smooth feeding and easy seating in the magwell every time.
Versatility is built in. Each magazine ships with two rubber base pads—a thin one for snappy mag changes and a thicker option that extends the magazine for easier insertion and removal, especially helpful with extended magwells or if you run a high-grip technique. You can swap pads to adapt the same magazine for competition, duty carry, or concealed carry. Witness holes let you track your round count at a glance. Choose natural Silver finish for a classic look or Black Nitride for reduced glint and added corrosion resistance.
If you're running a 9mm Government Model 1911 and you're tired of compromising with magazines built to lower standards, the Ed Brown Model 849 is the straightforward upgrade you're looking for.
