The ProMag COL02 delivers reliable feeding and proven durability for 1911 Government model pistols chambered in .45 ACP. This 7-round magazine features traditional blued steel construction that matches factory specifications while offering an affordable backup or replacement option.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer alternatives, the COL02 uses heat-treated steel construction with a blued finish that resists corrosion while maintaining the classic 1911 aesthetic. The magazine body dimensions match original equipment specifications for proper fit and function. Spring tension provides consistent cartridge presentation to the chamber across the full capacity range.
