The Wilson Combat 47C magazine delivers enhanced reliability and extended service life for 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. This 7-round detachable magazine features precision-engineered components that eliminate common feeding issues found in factory magazines.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 magazines that rely on basic follower designs, the Wilson Combat 47C incorporates a proprietary follower geometry and spring system engineered for consistent cartridge presentation. The low-profile steel floor plate reduces printing during concealed carry while maintaining structural integrity under stress. Independent testing shows 40% fewer feeding malfunctions compared to mil-spec magazines across 10,000-round evaluations.
