Wilson Combat 500B ETM 8-Round .45 ACP Magazine - Elite Tactical

The Wilson Combat 500B ETM magazine delivers enhanced feeding reliability for Wilson Combat 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. This 8-round magazine features Elite Tactical Magazine (ETM) technology with precision-engineered components that reduce malfunctions and improve consistent chambering under demanding conditions.

What Makes This Different

The ETM design incorporates a hybrid follower system that combines polymer and steel components for optimal cartridge presentation. Unlike standard GI magazines that can cause feeding issues with hollow point ammunition, the 500B ETM maintains consistent geometry throughout the feeding cycle. The magazine body utilizes stainless steel construction with a black finish that resists corrosion while maintaining the low-profile aesthetics of tactical 1911 platforms.

Key Features

• 8-round capacity for .45 ACP cartridges with extended reliability

• Stainless steel body with tactical black finish for durability
• Low-profile base pad maintains concealability

The 500B ETM performs consistently across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F, making it suitable for duty carry, competitive shooting, and home defense applications. The magazine maintains reliable feeding with both ball and hollow point ammunition, including popular defensive loads like Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot. The stainless steel construction resists salt corrosion in coastal environments while the precision manufacturing ensures drop-free reliability.
