I have a Kimber Custom Carry II. I need an extra magazine, what do you recommend as the best after market mag?

Wilson Combat

Wilson or Chip McCormic

there is a gun store in Joshua on 174 that carries the Kimber 8rd mags for 22.00 thats what i use and they work great. its the indoor range that has yosemite sam on the outside of the building

I'll second that. Have several McCormicks, and they are great.

Mecgar mags are very nice and work well in my Springfield. I also have a kimber mag that works well too. Only one i've tried that it didn't like was a Colt mag.

Thanks fellas. When I took my CHL refresher, the instructor recommended the Mecgar, but their website says it's a 10 or 14 rd and my kimber mag is an 8 round. I sent an email to Mecgar, but since they are in the NE, I doubt I'll get an answer very soon. I may wander over towards Joshua and see what they have, I like the $22 price tag, the Macgar's are $37.50 +shipping.

Wilson, Chip McCormick or Tripp research.

everything else is not worth it.

+1

My Mecgar's are 8 rd and I picked them up at a gun show for ~$25. Midway carries them but they are out.

This is the one I have

search Mecgar 1911 and they have several

Interesting comment about "aftermarket" as it is my understanding that factory supplied magazines are manufactured by Kling Madaba Dagalong of Turkey. That's not a bad thing as it is an ultramodern setup there.

Nighthawk customs is what I shot when I used to carry a Kimber, McCormic bodies w/ wilson springs and followers-

I've never had one problem with the Wilson Combats, cannot say the same for the cheap kimber mags.

Yep, ive used Wilsons in multiple 1911s. Different brand and size guns, not a single issue. Just wish I could afford a Wilson 1911.

+1 for Wilson Combat. I have several dozen of their 7-round mags and no issues at all with them.

I have tried Chip McCormick 10rd mags and they had numerous problems.

I have several Kimbers and use Kimber mags in them with zero issues. I have tried the KimPro mags and they're not worth the extra premium over Wilson. When I buy extra mags, I wouldn't buy Colt or Kimber or Springfield, etc. - I just buy Wilson.

Ok, so I went to order the Wilson Combat mag from their website and they want $9.95 for shipping. Can these be purchased locally in Fort Worth, or is there somewhere else online with cheaper shipping?
