METALFORM 1911 SPRINGFIELD STYLE 9RD 9MM MAGAZINES

Magazine works fine, except that the follower pops over top of the slide stop after the last round is fired. Not only does this mean that the slide won't lock back, but then I have to rip the magazine out. I bought two, and both magazines do this.

Bottom of the magazines are drilled for bumper pads, but the holes are not tapped.

Was looking for extra magazines for EDC. After trying this mag I would only use it for practice. Magazine does not release completely and inserts just not as good as factory. So would not trust my life with this product. It's surprising to me how many poor magazines are still made when manufacturing equipment and processes have improved greatly.



wold not use for EDC, competition or anytime you want it to work

no matter what.

This magazine solves first round feeding and live round retention problems when performing tactical reloads. I have tried most of the 9mm magazines for 1911 with dismal to fair results. This magazine bests all of them with perfect performance. So good, I just ordered a few more.

My only complaint is that not one of the 4 magazines of this brand I have purchased will drop free. All must be pulled from the mag well. Feeding of rounds was perfect. I have no issue with quality of construction. Other brands I have purchased will not feed properly, but drop free every time. I am getting to the point where I do not believe I can have both.

I bought six of these mags because my friend let me borrow his for a local action pistol match. They worked well in my Sprignfield Armory 1911 9mm Range Officer model. The few hangups I had were not due to the magazines. I have shot at least half a dozen matches with the magazines I bought and I am very pleased with them does far. I used a few 10 shot magazines and they were not as reliable in my gun as the Metalform magazines. If they were ten rounders, they would be perfect! A good prouduct and a good value.

These mags are the same ones that came with my 1911-A1 and they worked without any problems right out of the package. Quality product and would buy again.

Just what I was looking for! Makes my 9mm RIA GI model a JHP eating beast. Something it won't do with the factory Checkmate or a Wilson Cambat 10rd mag. Without issue, I shot a mixed mag of Speer Gold dots, Hornadys and a couple old unidentifiable JHPs.. I'm so impressed I'm ordering another.

I use these magazines in my bianchi and steel guns. I have shot many thousands of rounds through them and they run flawlessly. In my opinion these are the best mags you can use for your 9mm ss guns.

Don't know about function in other 9mm 1911s, but these work well in my DW PM-9. Feed/function was fine; easy to insert in gun when full and slide is closed, ejects fine, and slide lock @ empty okay too.
In my pistol, if I remove a mag (e.g., Checkmates that came with gun, Tripp CobraMags, and Wilson ETM) that still has rounds in it, the top round usually pops out (seems to be dragged forward by the previous round being chambered): this does not happen with these mags.
Welded base design makes disassembly for cleaning more difficult (though easier than with the DW/Checkmate mags).
The pre-drilled holes in the base matched with some base-pads I had left over from some Shooting Star 45 mags.

I use these in a Dan Wesson Guardian. They haven't given me any problems.

I purchased two of these mags for a Nighthawk Custom Predator in 9mm. These mags cause the first two to three rounds to nosedive every single time. The additional front ramp on the mag does nothing to alleviate this and in fact provides a much rougher surface than the pistol feed ramp. Polishing the front ramp on the mag did nothing to help the magazine feed rounds. If by some miracle the mags actually feed the first round from a full magazine, it's followed by a failure to feed/double feed. The magazines will only function correctly with 6 rounds in them, making them essentially useless.

The nose dives and failures occurred with all ammunition tested: 115gr FMJ, 125gr copper wash semi-wadcutters, 115gr JHP and 135gr ball ammo. Perhaps these mags work in some 1911's but unless you've tested out these mags before and know that they work in your pistol, give these a miss. Spend a few bucks more and get some Wilson Combat mags and avoid the rage-induced aneurism that these mags will give you when they fail time and time again. The only thing I can recommend these mags for is for fixing 9/16" of wobble under your kitchen table.
