Ed Brown offers 3 models of Officer’s magazine 1911 series two in non-reflective Black Nitride and Silver Finishes for 45 Auto (ACP) caliber (7-Round), and one in Silver Finishes for 9 mm Luger (8-Round).

Cons
  • The screws are not good enough: might need to drill and tap with 4-40 to get some decent threads and a better screw

View on Brownells

Specification

Cartridge: 45 Auto (ACP)
Capacity: 8-Round

Video review

Pros

Finish: Silver
Material: Stainless Steel

The Magazine features a reinforced heavy-duty tube, a newly constructed anti-tilt follower with sand cuts, and the last round retention function.

Pros
  • Solid construction

  • The steel base plate is practically indestructible: don’t deform after dropping

  • Smooth loading

  • Locks the slide back and fall free every single time

  • Good for duty, service, or competition use

  • Only one sight hole so very little room for sandy, dirt, moisture to cause any issues

Cons
  • High price

  • The steel base plate is a little bulky

  • No spring tension: the flat-wire spring is broken into several pieces, so it’s better to use the regular round-wire spring mags

METALFORM 1911 9MM MAGAZINES

View on Brownells

Specification

Cartridge: 9 mm Luger
Capacity: 10-Round
Quantity: 1
Finish: Silver
Material: Stainless Steel

Metalform designed the mags for 1911 Auto guns chambered for 9 mm Luger, ensuring positive last-round feeding with all bullet types, including wadcutters. There are two options of steel followers’ contour: flat or round; some mags come with concave safety orange nylon follower to hold an extra round. The two holes on the base of the removable mag are not in the same location to allow the bumper pad to fit with the bottom.

Video review

Pros
  • Made in the USA

  • Accepts Bumper Pads

  • Removable steel plate detaches for easy inner magazine cleaning

  • Excellent performance

  • Able to load a full 9 rounds + 1 in the chamber and the feeding is smooth

Cons
  • The holes are drilled 1/8 in too far forward: they need to be re-drilled in the due location in the bottom plate for a better fit

  • The bottom plate is not completely flat so the bumper pad does not fit solidly when screwed on

  • While cleaning it’s not so easy to remove the bottom plate, as the parts do not fit well together with the spring base plate

  • Rounds nose dives into the feed ramp and jam the gun: especially if loaded to capacity, misfeeds
