The Colt SP572491RP delivers the reliable feeding performance that 1911 pistols demand. This factory-engineered magazine combines traditional 1911 functionality with modern stainless steel construction for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aftermarket alternatives, this Colt factory magazine maintains the precise tolerances and feed geometry that Government and Commander-length 1911 frames require. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from sweat, moisture, and cleaning solvents while maintaining consistent spring tension over thousands of loading cycles. Factory specifications ensure proper lockback function and reliable chambering of 45 ACP cartridges.

Range testing demonstrates consistent feeding across various 45 ACP loads, from 185-grain target rounds to 230-grain defensive ammunition. The magazine functions reliably in competition environments where rapid reloads demand immediate chambering. Law enforcement and military users benefit from the corrosion resistance during extended carry periods in humid conditions.
