magazine prices $$$

[allaircooled]

I just purchased 2 Wilson Combat 1911 mags for $76! I could have bought 7 p-mags for my AR for the same price. Why are hand gun magazines so expensive? End of rant thank you.

Greg is the man.

Thats about the same price I paid. I saved the link though for future wants and needs. Thanks.

Try buying a magazine for a 1903 or 1908 Colt hammerless pocket pistol. The originals are bringing $100.00 or more (sometimes lots more) each! The same for
Colt Woodsman mags, especially the original mags for the 2nd model Woodsman with the push button mag release!

Bookmark this one too and keep an eye out for screaming deals.

What? I have never paid more than $37 ea. for Wilson 47D magazines. I like them and use them for carry purposes but most 1911 mags work just fine.

Colt Mags

$76 was for 2. They had cheaper Wilson models but I wanted to try out the mags with the low profile base pad which are a couple of bucks more. still pretty expensive in my book. Not as bad as what Fred mentioned though!

[BlueSkyJaunte]

Gotcha. I missed that part. You know how to spell Wil$on Combat, right?

Like I said I have a limited number of the 47Ds. Plus, I often carry either a commander bobtail or a Colt Defender, both of which really demand flush base mags. So the WCs are a non-starter there.

I've found the Colt factory mags typically work just fine. I have had horrendous luck with Kimber and Chip McCormick mags, though.

I don't carry a 1911 much, but my Springfield Champion is Commander-size and I use Chip Mc 8 rd. mags that are flush with the grip. They work great, but it's just a heavy gun and my Glock is way more disposable, weighs less and holds five more rds. If I lose it, no biggie. If I lost a 1911, I'd be upset.

[allaircooled]

Yeah I have a Chip Mc 8 rd mag that is flush as well. I have a Taurus and as bad of a rep that they have, the only problem I have ever had with it was the cheap mags that came with it. Both developed cracks on the feed lips causing the weapon to jam. So now I am just experimenting with different models to see what I like.

As a fringe benefit I get pawn shop prices on stuff like that. The Wilson I picked up came with a half-dozen mags. I probably have 50 various others (but then I like 1911's).

Love my McCormick shooting stars, both 8 and 10 round. $16 each after shipping when I got my 1911 a few years ago. My GSG 1911-22 mags are expensive- buddys wholesale price to me is 25ish, local place that carries them has 'em for 33 OTD.

Check cdnninvestments.com - they have a deal on stainless factory colt mags

I have a Chip Mc shooting star 8 rounder. It seems to work just fine. $16 is a good deal, I wouldn't complain about that. I hear good things about the Wil$on Combat, (just learned the correct spelling today ) so thought I would give them a try.

I purchased a Lotus-' MAG BOOK' for $25 bucks and I thought that was insane.
