The Wilson Combat 500BCHD ETM magazine delivers reliable feeding and enhanced capacity for Wilson Combat 1911 Elite Tactical pistols. This 8-round detachable magazine features a low-profile steel floor plate and handles +P ammunition pressures with confidence. Built specifically for Wilson Combat's Elite Tactical series, it maintains the slim profile essential for concealed carry while providing additional firepower.
What Makes This Different
The ETM (Elite Tactical Magazine) design incorporates Wilson Combat's proprietary follower geometry and spring tension optimization. Unlike standard 1911 magazines that often struggle with hollow point ammunition, this magazine feeds both ball and defensive rounds consistently. The low-profile steel floor plate reduces printing during concealed carry compared to extended base pads while maintaining drop-free reliability.
