"Great value in an upper-echelon 1911 magazine
The Mec-Gar 8 round nickel 1911 magazine, at $21.99, may be the best value among upper-echelon 1911 magazines. This group includes the Wilson Combat 47D, the Kimber Kim-Pro Tac Mag, the Tripp Research Cobra mag, and the Chip McCormick power mag. I've used the Wilson Combat and the Kimber, both excellent mags, and the Mec-Gar is comparable to them in my view while costing somewhat less. Like them, it has an anti-tilt follower with an upper surface that makes it easy to load. The action is very smooth and I have experienced no failures while using it. The base plate is removable for easy disassembly and cleaning, although it is like the 47D in not giving the user a choice of plate designs (the Kimber tac-mag has three). I don't find that much of a problem, but some might prefer a magazine with a flush base plate (that is, flush with the bottom of the pistol).
This magazine is a definite step up from the GI-style and its variants while costing perhaps only another $6 or so.

Superior 1911 Magazine
2 of 2 found this helpful Getting the right magazine for a 1911 is more important than with just about any other pistol because there are so many different designs and manufacturers. They tend to divide into lower and upper classes, with the Kimber KimPro Tac Mag definitely belonging to the upper class along with the Mec-Gar and the Wilson Combat 47D.
This is an 8-round stainless steel magazine with a steel no-tilt follower having a flat surface, unlike the "dimpled" one of the standard Kimber 7-round magazine. The spring is good and strong while the witness holes are numbered to make it easy to know how many rounds you have loaded. It feeds very reliably and as yet I have had no failures to feed while using it.
One very nice feature that sets it apart is the easily-removable base plate which allows you to change from flat (even with the bottom of the frame, which I prefer for carry) to extended base plate (which I prefer for a spare mag that is being carried) to extra-thick extended base plate (competition use for very fast changes). This is done by removing and replacing only two screws. The base plate is also removable rather than being welded (as were the old army magazine) making it easier to remove the spring and clean the magazine.

Functionality and Looks
The most important thing about this product is that it works, probably because it's based on a genuine GM product. There are a lot of cheap Chinese knock-offs that look good but simply don't work when you try to program them. What the problem is I don't know, but these genuine items don't have it. I programmed mine with no problem at all, and it looks like a new transmitter fob even if it's refurbished.
