1911 pistol, I love the fact its still one of the most popular people after 100 years. God Bless John Moses Browning

[@jogungirl]

We like tripp cobra magazines #1 then #2 wilson combat

[@mikhalize]

One of the best magazine videos I have ever seen on youtube. I want to thank you for the time you took to share your cogent thoughts and experience with various mags. Keep'em coming!

[@Yourmomsboyfriend666]

This is what I wanted to comment. 6years after this I just bought my first 1911, and after watching several videos this is the most informative. Everyone bitchin about talking, it's a fucking mag review. Not the most glamorous side of gun ownership but much needed

[@Lexicologist71]

When I started working at a gun store, I bought a bunch of Kimber magazines. They quickly gave me misfeeds. My Sig and Wilson magazines work well. The Kimbers are for range use only.

[@HETZTED1313]

I have used all kinds of mags in my Kimber from surplus military to Wilson combat. It functions perfect.

[@henrycruz45cal]

"Shoot out a watermelon with warts on it" Love it!

[@GunGlutton]

i have a lot of experience with Les Baers. what model are you thinking of? $3000 would get you the top of the line Baer with every bell and whistle. They start at $1800. It takes around 6 months for them to make you a 1911. If you can find a Baer that has everything you want in a store that is even better.

[@MrTaksleper]

The Ed Brown mags are available from Brownells as: METALFORM - 1911 AUTO ELITE 8 MAGAZINE! They work really well and are $31 The polished ones do not rust, than the matte silver ones are a bit rust prone, they both work great!

[@michaelhodges8312]

Only Wilson 47DC and Chip McCormick Classic for my 1911A1.

[@justindr.yaegertodd6220]

Mecgar is all I use! They are inexpensive, but they are a QUALITY magazine!

[@kringhetto]

The first vid I watched on your channel was a magazine vid. I've been a loyal sub ever since. Love this channel. Keep it up

[@fun2drive107]

It isn't just the smoothness of the mag pushing up and down it is the shape of the top of the mag. The back is tapered and opens as it goes forward. Cheap mags and good mags that are not tapered can use other tricks to make it feed reliability. The ATI gunsmith course covers this issue.

[@jimhovater8755]

IMHO, in .45acp, MetalForm's 7-rd mags with round followers RULE. In 9mm, MecGar's 10-round mags with polymer followers RULE.

[@aaronduczek]

I'd "rather take a nice poo than shit out a watermelon with warts on it." Hahaha bold statement

[@chgofirefighter]

I have to admit that my Kimber mags suck! they are ok but for the money that you are spending on a Kimber they should atleast give you the "BEST" mag but?? My next purchase will be a a RIA or ATI.. But I do believe that the RIA makes an awesome quality pistol, tight tolerances, good Q/C, etc. Really, really impressed w RIA. I went to purchase another 1911 and the salesperson was steering me away from Kimber, etc and advising me to get a Rock Island Armory, interesting fact!

[@punhulk]

The chip mccormicks are good I prefer Wilson and combat mags though in my 1911

[@henrycruz45cal]

5 mins of blah blah blah Made me stop watching

[@GunGlutton]

lol Les baer and ed brown working together would be like Dick Cheney and Ron Paul working together

[@garyK.45ACP]

Your "Sons of Guns" review didn't age well. That said, I ran across a guy at a gun show that had dozens of AR uppers, lowers, BCGs and charging handles all the "Red Jacket" logo a few years ago. He had bought up their surplus parts when the company went out of business. I now own 2 AR builds with the Red Jacket logo. I've been a 1911 fan for decades and own 6 of them. 3 Colts, 2 Kimbers and 1 Charles Daly (Armscor) 95% of what I shoot in them are cast bullets. Cast from straight wheelweights. 1 is the H&G #68 200 gr. SWC-BB and the other is the Magma 45-233 a 230 gr. bullet that duplicates the shape of the US Government 230 gr. FMJ. I have found that 2 things in particular affect reliability: 1. Extractor. The 1911 is a "controlled round feed" system. The round must come out of the magazine at the proper time and slide under the extractor hook as it moves forward. The extractor is crucial to reliability. Save yourself a lot of trouble and install a Wilson Combat "Bulletproof" extractor in any and all 1911s. Adjust it as the instructions suggest. This does not apply to external extractors, which are spring loaded and snap over the rim as the slide closes. External extractors are generally more reliable, but also more like to leave empty cases in the chamber (failure to extract) I don't buy any 1911 with an external extractor. 2. Magazines. Original GI 1911 magazines will not feed SWC, hollow points and many other cast lead bullets reliably. They do seem to work OK with the 45-233 Magma bullet, but those are the same shape and OAL as GI 230gr. FMJ bullets. Newer magazines have different feed lip configurations and will reliably work with HP, lead bullets and SWC bullets. I use Wilson Combat magazines exclusively, but Chip McCormick, ACT mags and others have the same type of magazine feed lips. I also mirror polish the feed ramps of all my 1911s, though I will admit that procedure has less affect than a good magazine and good extractor. But...it takes just a few minutes with a Dremel and a fabric polishing "bob" and some polishing compound, so, why not?

[@christianhardwick6530]

A goomba with moobs and a wife beater.

[@Gumby56]

Act-Mags in all my 1911's.

[@Kerosenetrewthe]

Ruger SR1911 mags work and feel good.

[@WaywardAce]

This video kinda explains why so many people swear by their Rock Island Armorys and so many people complain about their Kimbers ....... RIAs come out of the box with a kick ass mag.

[@silentdeathtx4]

I finaly got my first 1911, and its a beauty, I got the ruger sr1911 navy seal editon. The mags that came with it seem like good mags.

[@gryphonz3]

A watermelon with warts...wtf,Pete!! That is some funny,funny shit there,buddy.

[@Bulwark1911]

Start with Wilson Combat mags, and go from there.

[@oathkeeper2129]

I've ran my new Tripp Cobra 8R through my Colt Gold Cup and my McCormick Colt Commander many times and it ran perfect in each firearm. I've since ordered two more mags from Tripp. Next payday, I'll be ordering three more for a totall of six. Among my Wilson Combat mags, McCormick, Act and Mec-Gar I'm now set for magazines for my 1911s

[@SJulianYZ125]

I run just regular old 7rd Colt mags in my Series 80 Colt, they work just fine, never had any problems

[@joexg50]

If your a shootin guy as you are Mr. Pete you would love the Sportsmans channels offered for only 3 extra bucks a month, talk about shootin, they show hunting of all kinds, fishing, and guns,guns, guns. I only discovered this goodie myself. I sound like a friggin add for this channel but I'm in no way associated cept I love guns. You get 3 or 4 channels with the subscription.

[@elblancobasura]

The Kimber Tac-Pro series mag. The only 1911 mag that ought to be supplied with all 1911's.

[@44357514]

I was looking at the 1911 Magazines they were selling at a Gun Show last weekend. They had Magazines marked "Government issue magazines" for sale for $9.00, and they also had "Colt" Magazines for sale for $12.00.

[@bowlofrice8]

if they aren't in original packaging they are most likely foreign junk

[@daleschmidt7157]

Thanks to you, I have fallen in love with the KimPro Tac-Mag. I find them to be of superior quality and I especially like the option to have or not have an added butt-pad. The KimPro feels so darn good in the hand as well. Thank you Pete.

[@LouisianaLariat]

I have 4 of the "factory" mags. I think they are made by checkmate or at least they use to be. They're ok. I haven't had any problems. Some people seem to have issues though. I've run CM, Wilson,ACT,and Kimpro tac-mags. They all worked fine. They only issue was with an ACT mag that wouldn't drop free but it did the same in all my 1911s. It was just an isolated issue and was easily fixed. You shouldn't have any problems with the mags listed above. Hope that helps.

[@p2o8wer]

I had guys on Instagram tell me 1911 mags don’t come with 8 rounds.

[@jgilk1]

a diamond stone and a dremel with a snake tool and a buffing pad solves that issue with the watermelon wart issue (a diamond stone helps as well)

[@philippinesendlesssummer6573]

I'm glad there was a bogus intro, so now I know not to waste my time listening to what mags he thinks are reliable.

[@8686872]

Suggestion: Learn to communicate without 4-letter words. Trashy ...

[@HerbWalker]

8 Rnd. Chip McCormicks are great too for my Metro Arms 'American Classic II'M1911 from the Philipines ($420) with ALL the bells & whistles.... It came with an OUTSTANDING mag called an ACT mag from Italy!!

[@GunGlutton]

@thearmorychannel do you know how to make Italian greens? like with garlic and broth and shit?

[@4x4Moses]

I just got my first 1911 (Ruger) a few days ago. I ordered three Wilson Combat 47D magazines to supplement the two factory mags. After running 200 rounds through it, I have to say that I like the factory mags better than the 47Ds. The WC mags were hard to seat, and had FTF issues on the last round. For the same amount of money, I could have gotten almost twice as many Ruger mags - and I would be more satisfied.

[@vadenkwin]

ACTMAGS have been one of my favorites for a long time. Fur my Kimber I use Wilson Combat ETMs and ACTs, my American Classic Amigo runs flawlessly with Compact Kimpro TACmags. Great taste there Pete!!!

[@videomaniac108]

I have a 5" Ed Brown Special Forces through which I'm shooting +p 230 gr fmj ammo and I'm having bad FTF problems with the Checkmate USGI 7 rd mags. I tried my instructor's Wilson 8rd 47D magazine and had no reliability problems with it. I've bought a Wilson ETM for evaluation and will test it soon. My Checkmate mags look very much like the Colt mag you showed.

[@built2wintv691]

Wow.. my Kimber 1911 came with a KimPro tac mag , very smooth. I bought a Wilson Combat at the same time, when I loaded the ammo the KimPro tac mag was 3x’s smoother than the Wilson Combat mag. The Wilson Combat had the friction you refer to. Definitely agree 👍

[@anonymouscitizen9630]

I too would rather shit out smooth, like an ice cream machine 😂 then give it to Brandon and see if he likes it. 😂

[@randaddy9218]

What's up armory channel been watching since I was a teenager still a big fan hope my channel can get as big as yours

[@python1590]

"...shit a watermelon with warts.." 🤣😂😅😉😆 Love it

[@gman77gas]

Dude, Sons of guns is getting better not having all the fake drama. Looks like he tinted his hair and got botox this season.

[@jadmjt14]

I think Colt fixed their mags btw mine are ok. Bought in late 2017

[@mrpushrod9279]

Kind of new to 1911s that was helpful, thanks!

[@TADPOLE696]

EBOMEY likes when there's no friction

[@theARMORYchannel]

and still is brother,

[@tommggs]

I just watched a dude finger his 1911 mags for 15 minutes, wow, hahaha.

[@MyREDTAIL]

The METALFORM 7rd 45 ACP has a Round Follower on them & some great Reviews off of the Midway USA Reviews on them etc.

[@theARMORYchannel]

thank you matt

[@BucsFan1017]

Pete, I love Sons of Guns as well... so much so I bought one of their AR15's. I probably paid too much but it's a fantastic AR. Shhots awesome and cones with some great upgrades built in. Thanks for the video... take care and God Bless brother!

[@Rockapotamus24]

I have act mag that came with my high standard 1911 won't feed a round to save its life. Used to work fine but now it's going in the trash

[@MrAtalon]

The 3 chevrons up does mean Sergeant, but I don't think the scull and cross rifles are anything official.

[@tonymiller8826]

My 1911 came with an ACT Mag, the first few rounds want to nose dive. As they stack up there's a gap that builds at the front of each round. With ball ammo it still feeds fine with the inertia of the slide slamming them in but it's not pretty to look at.

[@clayton758]

My hand Built 1911 I look for mags that are original or reproduction to that gun for the yr it was made at the time.

[@SHWELL11]

Hey Pete, do you Stroke your Mags a lot before inserting them? lol...

[@rayhines1977]

My Kimber mag ran just fine

[@flyboyak47]

My Kobra Carry with 1 Ed Brown, and 4 Kim Pro Tac. After 600 rounds they all run just perfect. Not one failure.

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

Pete Chris from turtle gunners here. Sorry man we sent you the black panther edition of the cowboy revolution shirt. Oops! Send it back and we can make it right. ;)

[@theARMORYchannel]

glock mags are awesome

[@RockyTop1911]

I have a couple of Chip McCormick Mags and they have functioned well in my Kimber Raptor II, but when I did what you did to check the smoothness, they were not as smooth as the mags that came with my S&W SW1911SC,

[@MAGR1994]

1911 with a 10 round extended mag SEXYYYYYY

[@d-op1502]

Cmc mags and mecgar mags are my go to mags

[@nirvana54961]

i do. my sig mag was a checkmate and it worked just fine. I have afw of them, great for the range but if its for defensive purposes i would stick with Wilson combat

[@hazman440]

KimPro Tac-Mag , Act-Mag are my favotites in the RIA Tactical , which is a very good shooter . The mags that came with the Remington R1 seem well made also , but that pistol is still virgin.

[@SAQQUSAWRU]

kimber mags are distributed by kimber only or there is someone making them for kimber? because if it is kimber they are a bit costy aren't they?

[@davidshields1547]

The 2 types of 1911 mags I use that have not gave me any problems have been made by act-mag and mecgar

[@bisquik3006]

Well worth the money.

[@MyHollowpoint]

Can't wait to see you in a cowboy shirt. It's normal around here, but Philly? :) Looks good though.

[@theARMORYchannel]

wow thats great to hear i always wondered how there firearms are?thanks for the info

[@TheSickman99]

combat pawn is right down the street from my house ...i will never go there

[@Lonearcher707]

I've always had excellent results with Chip McCormick mags in three different Colt's. On the other hand, I've had one MecGar that was completely useless.

[@roderickconstantino5354]

Silica spray lube worked for me on those friction mags

[@TarBreehan]

its kind of stupid that the cheap phillapeno 1911's give great mags but that the more expensive 1911's give cheap terrible mags

[@ihatefords1000]

Cobra mags the best money can buy

[@theARMORYchannel]

i never had any of there products? how do u know this?

[@statiq77]

no disrespect man I'm a subscriber for a few weeks now. thanks for interesting vids

[@ojgsxr6]

What actually helps and strengthens our gun rights are politicians and voters that understand that our right to own, carry and use firearms is an integral part of being an American citizen.

[@mindiman3000]

I've had 1 issue with a chip McCormick mag blued combat had FTF after close inspection and denouncing friction problems the finish on the follower seems to be the issue, the stainless mags are smooth and have a teflon feel

[@snikwah25]

now i have to look on tv for gun shows :)

[@gpodavid]

Pete, thanks for supporting the 2A, we need to educate the next generation not only to protect the Constitution but also to repeal the Hughes Amendment!

[@ZombieMasterEd25]

i have a hard time finding these shows i got dishnetwork few months ago still the CH lineup keeps changing the CH guide is never correct. and i dont get AMC or netgeo or chiller damn

[@heckathornmike86]

oh the 8 pac looks just like the t elite on e bay

[@bigbruteforce16]

Chip McCormick magazines are great. I run one in my 1911.

[@556ChannelHD]

Mec-Gar mags have been 100% for me and at a reasonable price!!

[@GunGlutton]

lolol sons of guns is corny as hell anymore. that newest one is pretty good family guns or something. They are located in PA

[@oathkeeper2129]

I am a fan of the McCormick, Act-Mags, Mec-gar and the Wilson Combat magazines. Last evening I ordered a Tripp Cobra 8-Round magazine. I've read good reports about them too.

[@cavediverjc]

Everything I've heard about the Tripp mags has been good. I have two Tripp CobraMags and two Wilson Combat mags and they all work great with no issues at all.

[@MyREDTAIL]

Question Bro. Where did you buy that nice looking Small Grinding Wheel Motor , That you have there on your Bench, Iv'e been looking for something that small for my Reloading bench also

[@Rocco_Dimeo]

Good recommendations, I have an ACT, Mec Gar and KimPro Tac and they're all great. The KimPro is my favorite tho, feels considerably stronger and basically indestructible.

[@curlyrai1511]

Thanks for the mag class.

[@kevinorquiola]

You should try Tripp Research. They make the 1911 cobra mags. They are made to order. Also I like the checkmate mags that came with my Dan Wesson Valor. They are good but the Tripp Cobra Mags feel superior in quality.

[@scrupulousness]

Those shows get people familiar with guns - less scared and more comfortable. You missed the point.

[@theARMORYchannel]

thanks for watchin buddy

[@theARMORYchannel]

LOL i know his ass is chambered in "CANNON BALL"

[@DC2Megaboost]

Another awesome vid, any experience with the Sig Sauer 1911 mags?

[@TheShermandale]

American Guns is my Favorite. Rich seems like a good guy. Good vid Pete.
