CMC Classic 1911 Magazine 8rd .45 ACP Government Stainless/Black

The CMC Classic 1911 magazine delivers enhanced reliability and extended capacity for Government-frame 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. This 8-round magazine increases standard capacity while maintaining the classic profile that fits flush with Government-length frames.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 7-round magazines, the CMC Classic extends capacity to 8 rounds without protruding beyond the grip frame. The stainless steel construction with black coating provides corrosion resistance superior to standard blued magazines. CMC's proprietary spring design maintains consistent feeding pressure across all 8 rounds, reducing the feeding issues common with aftermarket high-capacity magazines.
