The KCI USA MZ039 magazine delivers reliable feeding for 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP with an 8-round capacity. This aftermarket magazine provides shooters with additional firepower while maintaining the classic profile that fits standard 1911 holsters and magazine pouches.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 7-round magazines, the MZ039 extends capacity by one round without significantly altering the grip length or draw characteristics. The black steel construction offers corrosion resistance superior to standard blued finishes. Heat-treated components ensure consistent spring tension and follower movement through thousands of loading cycles.
