A must have |
Date Posted: 12/7/2011 |
| Every 1911 owner should be running these mags. I have four of these magazines so far and they are without a doubt the most consistent feeding and durable magazines I have used. After switching over to running these mags in my Range Officer I have had zero rounds fail to feed. These are carried on me in my concealed carry so yes, I would bet my life on the reliability of them! |

| I have two 1911s, both from quality companies, but neither is a Colt or Wilson. Neither will lock back on empty reliably with the 47Ds. I have never had a failure to lock back in either with four OTHER brands of quality magazines. Im sure these work fine in Wilson 1911s, but they dont always work with other brands. |

The Kimber FIX Wilson 47D 8round. |
Date Posted: 10/8/2011 |
| I Have had a Kimber SIS pro for the last two years. I bought it NIB. It had failer to feed, failure to eject and failure to battery forward. I had my gunsmith put in a new wolf guide rod spring, polished the feed ramp,throat the barrel and tune it. That fixed 85% of it.I just got a 47D mag and it now runs flawless! I am now saving for my next 1911. It will be a WILSON!!! |

| I just got my Wilson Combat mag a little less than a week ago and right out of the package I could feel how sturdy it was and how smooth it inserted and dropped out. I had no trouble loading it, not even the last round. Ive had feeding troubles with my other magazines in my picky springfield gi model, but this fed every last round just right all the time. I would feel more than confident to carry this in my pistol with me. The only issue I had was upon inserting the magazine, it snagged on the magazine release. Ive noticed on other magazines there is an identation or bevel to help slide past this. I have to put a considerable amount of force into it to get past my mag release. I dont know if its my release or the magazine, but it should be a simple fix for me. 5 stars because I dont need to insert the magazine before using it in a hurry. Its already in and I know its going to work as intended. Thanks WC. |

Great magazine |
Date Posted: 9/20/2011 |
| I just got this magazine in the mail today and ran it through my regular mag tests. checked for wobble while inserted, slide lock, chambering on full It passed my tests. It sits very solidly in the well with very little movement, operates the slide lock flawlessly and had no problems feeding rounds which is a problem I have been having with my 1911 where the round nose dives and gets caught My only complaint would be that it did take longer to get here than I had expected. However, the quality of Wilson Combat I think is worth waiting for. All in all Im very pleased with it. |

Your Life. Wilson Combat. |
Date Posted: 8/20/2011 |
| I always hear people talk about how Wilson Combat magazines are expensive. I dont consider these expensive at all, because you are not just buying a name. You are buying trust in your firearm, you are buying reliability, you are buying those few extra second when other inferior magazines would cause a jamb, and quite possibly you might be buying your life with it. You are buying Wilson Combat.
I would rather spend the extra ten bucks and know my pistol WILL WORK when I need it to. And not trust in a inferior product hanging on the hope that it continues to work right for me. Sure other mags may work right now, but do you really trust them to continue to work in less than optimal conditions, when you really need them, when your life depends on them? Probably not.
Buy Wilson Combat, your life is worth it. |

47D Works Flawlessly in My 1911 Pistols |
Date Posted: 8/18/2011 |
| I just picked up four more 47D magazines for my 1911 pistols. I have found these magazines work flawlessly in both my CQB ,as they should, and in my Colt Lightweight Commander. It is great to use one magazine in both pistols. The magazines are made of high quality stainless steel and they are a breeze to clean. The 47D is the easiest 1911 magazine I have ever maintained. The spring life is great but when it is time to change them out the process is fast and easy. I use the 47D for both my range work and for my carry weapon. I have found the 47D to be dependable and they handle every type and style of bullet from hardball to wad semi wad-cutters without problems. Since my Colt has an alloy frame I look for magazines with non-metalic followers, as some metal followers can damage the feed ramp, the 47D fits the bill.
If your gun cabinet holds a 1911 pistol or several 1911 pistols you can not go wrong with the Wilson Combat 47D magazine. |

SIG + Wilson = Perfection |
Date Posted: 8/15/2011 |
| These magazines are just as good as the factory supplied ones that came with my new SIG 1911 Tactical Operations pistol. I replaced all of the standard size base pads with Wilson’s extended pads because of some seating problems due to the SIG’s thick, oversized and beveled magazine well. I now carry the items in a Tuff Products 8 In-Line pouch with the SIG in a SERPA CQC holster. This system is as good as it gets! |

Date Posted: 7/18/2011 |
| I just wanted to drop you all a note about your 47D Mag.
I have a Kimber series 1. I was having feeding problems. I put new springs in and the problem persisted. I took it to a gun smith and he looked at it and told me it would be two months before he could look at it. I told him I did not want to wait that long. I was so frustrated. I looked over the 1911 forums. The cure according to the internet community was buying a
Wilson Combat 47D mag. I was skeptical, I really was. I went to the store and got one. I really cant tell you how happy I am with your product! It fixed ALL my feeding problems.
Thank you for taking the time to make a perfect mag. |

Wilson 7 round mags |
Date Posted: 4/20/2011 |
| I bought 4 of the wilson 7 round 1911 magazines for a Thunder Ranch class. Ill be honest at first I was aprehensive about using the mags because I shoot a Springfield 1911 Operator. After 3 days of intense Clint Smith drills the mags perfermed flawlessly. Magazines are one of those things you dont think about unless something is going horribly wrong, I was more than impressed, not 1 issue the entire time. I dopped them several times in dirt, snow, and mud, Id quickly wipe them down and go back at it. Im sold on the mags and cant wait to buy other products, especially a Wilson 1911 when I can afford it. |

Works great in Kimber CDP II Pro Carry |
Date Posted: 3/10/2011 |
| This works great in my Kimber CDP II Pro. The reason I went with Wilson Combat instead of the Kimber factory mags is the nylon follower instead of metal and the extra round capacity. They do stick down below the handle but I use the 8 round mags at the range and the 7 for ccw. |

47-D, an instant reliability package. |
Date Posted: 2/26/2011 |
| Ive been shooting 1911s for 5 years using nothing but these magazines for the most part. Theyve never failed me. In fact, they made a gun that had previously not wanted to feed reliably with the factory magazines it came with into one of the most reliable 1911s Ive ever shot. I went for over 5,000 rounds without a single malfunction using 47-Ds. I have the utmost confidence in this product and have no qualms about recommending it to others when asked about quality magazines for the 1911 platform. Wilson makes one hell of a product. Reliable, high quality magazines are an absolute must and these fit the bill perfectly. Do yourself a favor and pick some up, you wont regret it. |

Wilson Combat 47D magazines |
Date Posted: 1/3/2011 |
| Over the years I have had my share of magazine disasters. I have purchased knock-off magazines that fell apart the first time they hit the deck while doing a combat reload and I have had others that failed to feed reliably. A good friend put me onto Wilson Combat magazines, the 47D to be specific, and now I will never use any others. They fit perfectly, feed reliably, and their follower will not score the feed ramp of my alloy framed Commander. Should the spring ever weaken, I assume it may some day, it can easily be replaced. The added round is just icing on the cake. In my honest opinion Wilsons magazines are the best available and a wise choice. Dont settle for second best for either range work or for self defense, put Wilson Combat on your side. |

Worlds Best Magazines |
Date Posted: 12/10/2010 |
| Ive been shooting 1911 pistols for 25 years and believe these magazines are without a doubt the worlds best. Even before I owned a Wilson, I used these mags in other makes of 1911s with magnificent results. I own probably a dozen of these mags and would never consider anyyhing else. If your pistol does not function with these mags, there is something seriously wrong with your pistol. Stock up on these beauties; youll be glad you did. |

Make Your 1911 Reliable! |
Date Posted: 11/28/2010 |
| I have been using these magazines for years, stored loaded most of the time and they make my 1911 run like a Glock in terms of reliability. I have had to replace the springs twice in the seven years that I have had mine stored loaded and at the ready and with that, these things couldnt fail if you tried to make them. Everyone is using modern-style magazines, Wilsons in particular, for a very good reason: they work. See for yourself why and you will be happy. |

THE Standard for 8 Round Magazines |
Date Posted: 11/3/2010 |
| If you are familiar with the 1911, you are surely familiar with this magazine. It is often considered the gold standard by which others are compared.
A magazine is the heart of any semiautomatic handgun. If they dont function reliably, you may find yourself with a 38oz paperweight in your hand, when you need a gun. These magazines work like the heart of an Olympic athlete! Lightweight, exceptionally durable aluminum, excellent finishing. The spring is strong and the follower is durable.
Be aware, these followers lack the dimple often seen on 7 rounders. They are also plastic, which can wear over time. Inspect them for wear and replace might as well replace the spring as well if the slide does not lock back on the last round. You can order replacements here. I have noted very minimal wear on mine after 4 years of use.
Do yourself a favor and order a few of these. You can never have enough handgun magazines! Carry them, along with your CQB in the Wilson nylon pistol bag, and you will have the ultimate pistol-magazine-case trifecta. |

Makes my RIA Tactical 100% reliable. |
Date Posted: 10/6/2010 |
| I had odd malfunction while taking my CCW class in my new RIA Tactical. My CCW instructor thought it was due to the factory magazine that came with it and recommended I get some Wilson Combat magazines. I followed his advice and 6 months later have not been sorry. My budged priced 1911 from the Philippines now operates with 100% reliability. The claims on the website about making any 1911 function all the time are 100% true. |

Best 1911 magazines I have used |
Date Posted: 9/29/2010 |
| I never have had a single feed problem with any of my Wilson 47D magazines. The 47D spring and shell are of a higher quality then the magazines I received with my 1911 and of my other non-Wilson magazines, which all have had feeding problems in the past.
I will only use Wilson magazines in the future because of this reliability. Thank you. |

These magazines are amazing! |
Date Posted: 8/29/2010 |
| I just recently bought a 1911 loaded target from Springfield Armory, it came stock with two stainless 7 round magazines with no base pads at all. A friend gave me a few other magazines from various manufacturers i have never heard of, but when i tried them i could never shoot through an entire magazine without feeding issues and jams. When i got tired of all of the hassles i purchased one of these magazines and when i tried it i fell in love, no issues whatsoever with loading and theyre made of durable materials so i dont have to worry about bending the tube when i change magazines during competition. Buying and testing out that first magazine made me force myself to buy four more of them...and Im still loving them all just as much |

Wilson Combat 47D Magazine Review |
Date Posted: 8/12/2010 |
| My 1911 had difficulty with failure to feed issues. After purchasing several magazines on the market, I finally bought a Wilson Combat 47D. The 47D is now all I run. Flawless performance every single time. Simply holding the magazine you can see and feel the immense quality and engineering. I have never been so impressed with the performance, quality and attention to detail from a magazine before. After using a Wilson Combat product it was obvious, I need to own one of their pistols. It will absolutely be my next 1911. |

Best 1911 Magazine Hands Down |
Date Posted: 6/10/2010 |
| Regardless of what brand name is on your 1911, you want the best available magazine to feed your thirsty blaster. The Wilson Combat 47D is the best magazine made for the 1911. I have tested all of the brands and used them in all configurations and the 47D Wilson Combat is the best and the first I will always reach for to feed ANY fullsize 1911. If you are having failure to feed issues this Wilson Combat 47D Magazine will go a long way into curing your feeding problems. The overall quality of the build, and the metallurgy are perfect. The placement, size, and attachment of the base pad are second to none. The spring and follower are probably the best on the market. Though I shoot over 2000 rounds per week, yes thats per week I pay specific attention to the performance and wear of my tactical gear. The polymer follower on the 47D is self lubricating and functions perfectly. If you are looking for the best in terms of looks, function, and performance, look no further than Wilson Combat. I have put over 10000 rounds on a single magazine with no cleaning, and it still performed flawlessly. |
