The CMC Match Grade magazine is engineered for the serious 1911 owner who demands reliability and precision. Built around a traditional USGI-style design, this magazine incorporates real improvements where they matter most: the feed lips, follower design, and overall dimensional consistency.
The standout spec here is the tolerance. CMC holds these to plus or minus .001 inch, which is more than 75% tighter than standard military specifications. That level of precision means every magazine feeds the same way, cycle after cycle, round after round. The feed lips are carefully shaped to handle anything from full metal jacket to hollow point ammunition without hiccups.
The stainless steel tube is laser welded for strength and corrosion resistance. The welded base plate delivers durability far beyond what you get with stamped designs, and the magazine is drilled so you can add an optional base pad if you want one. Springs are made from aerospace-grade rocket wire that maintains tension through thousands of cycles without taking a set. The metal follower works with the improved geometry to ensure the slide locks back reliably on the last round.
Large numbered witness holes run down the side so you know exactly how many rounds you have without guessing or dumping the magazine. It sounds like a small detail, but during competitions or when running drills, being able to glance and know your count saves time and keeps you focused.
This is a magazine built for competition shooters and serious range users who want consistency. It works in any full-size Government or Commander frame 1911 in .45 ACP, and the flush fit means it doesn't hang out the bottom when you're at the range or the range bag.
This magazine is designed for full-size 1911 Government and Commander frame pistols in .45 ACP. Both of these frame sizes use the same magazine, so if you have either a 5-inch Government or 4.25-inch Commander, this mag will fit. Officer and compact 1911s use shorter magazines, so you'd need to verify your frame size before ordering.
The biggest difference is the tolerance spec. CMC holds these to +/- .001 inch, which is tighter than military specs. That precision carries through to the feed lips and follower geometry, which means more consistent feeding and less variation between magazines. The stainless construction and aerospace-grade springs also add durability.
Yes, the CMC Match Grade is designed to feed all 8 rounds reliably with proper ammunition. The improved feed lip geometry and follower design work together to handle ball ammo and hollow points. The key is keeping the magazine and feed lips clean, and avoiding repeatedly slamming fully loaded magazines into the gun with the slide locked back, which can cause premature wear.
No, this version comes with a welded base plate only. The magazine is drilled so you can add an optional polymer base pad if you want one. Many shooters prefer the flush fit for carrying or daily use, while others add a pad for easier removal or extra capacity options.
