Wilson Combat 1911 Elite Tactical 10rd .45 ACP Stainless Magazine with Extended Floor Plate

The Wilson Combat Elite Tactical 10rd .45 ACP magazine is purpose-built for full-size 1911 pistols that demand reliability without compromise. If you run a .45 ACP 1911 for duty, competition, or serious self-defense, you need magazines engineered to feed consistently and withstand real use—not just marketing claims. Wilson Combat's reputation is built on doing exactly that, and this stainless steel mag proves why it's a go-to choice among 1911 shooters who refuse to gamble on their equipment.

Wilson Combat starts with aircraft-grade stainless steel and machines the tube with .025" walls—substantially thicker than standard magazines—to prevent the cracked feed lips and tube spreading that plague lesser designs. Every bend in the tube is refined to a specific radius, leveraging the inherent strength of the material rather than fighting it. The magazine locks reliably into your 1911 with the slide forward, and the innovative follower design with extended skirt minimizes creep when the mag runs dry, keeping rounds stable throughout the firing cycle. A fiber-filled nylon follower glides smoothly through the tube, the result of a multi-step tumbling and finishing process that removes snags that slow insertion or feeding.

The observation slots are positioned at the rear of the tube—exactly where they serve the design without compromising structural integrity. That's the kind of detail-oriented engineering that separates Wilson Combat magazines from the commodity stuff. Paired with the extended floor plate for easy manipulation and press checks, this is a magazine that earns trust through function, not marketing.
