Mec-Gar MGCG4511N 1911 Government 11rd 45 ACP Nickel Magazine

The Mec-Gar MGCG4511N delivers extended capacity for 1911 Government models without compromising reliability or function. This 11-round magazine transforms standard 7-8 round capacity into a tactical advantage while maintaining the classic 1911 profile. Premium carbon steel construction with nickel finish ensures consistent feeding and long-term durability.

What Makes This Different

Mec-Gar magazines feature precision-engineered followers and springs that eliminate common feeding issues found in aftermarket alternatives. The extended baseplate adds 3-4 rounds over standard capacity without extending beyond the grip frame significantly. Factory-grade tolerances match OEM specifications while the nickel coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to blued steel magazines.

Key Features

• 11-round capacity in 45 ACP for Government frame 1911 pistols
• Carbon steel body with nickel finish for corrosion resistance
• Anti-tilt follower prevents binding and double-feeds
• High-tensile spring maintains consistent tension through full capacity

Range testing demonstrates reliable cycling through all 11 rounds with various 45 ACP loads from 185-grain to 230-grain projectiles. The magazine functions effectively in competitive shooting scenarios where capacity matters, while maintaining the reliability standards required for defensive applications. The nickel finish resists fingerprints and moisture better than standard phosphate coatings.
