Wilson Combat 500 1911 8rd 45 ACP Magazine Elite Tactical Stainless

The Wilson Combat 500 series magazine delivers enhanced feeding reliability and extended service life for 1911 pistols chambered in 45 ACP. This 8-round magazine features stainless steel construction and precision engineering that addresses common feeding issues found in standard factory magazines.

What Makes This Different

Wilson Combat magazines incorporate a proprietary follower design and spring system that maintains consistent feeding pressure throughout the entire capacity range. The stainless steel tube construction resists corrosion and dimensional changes that plague standard carbon steel magazines. Independent testing shows 40% fewer feeding malfunctions compared to mil-spec magazines during extended firing sessions.
