Description
This is genuine factory Kimber ammunition storage, purpose-built for full-size 10mm 1911 pistols. The magazine features a laser-welded stainless steel tube matched with a welded base plate, delivering the durability you'd expect from Kimber's exacting manufacturing standards. Everything inside works in harmony: an anti-tilt steel follower paired with a high-tensile steel spring keeps rounds aligned for smooth, consistent feeding every time you load.
Reliable Feeding in Full-Size 10mm
The 8-round capacity fills the typical full-size 1911 grip perfectly without creating unwanted bulk or protrusion. That capacity matched with this magazine's precision construction makes a real difference in the feeding cycle, especially with the powerful recoil impulse of 10mm ammunition. Multiple owners report zero malfunctions in competition, qualification, and range use. The magazine stands up to the physical demands too—people mention they don't bend or dent when dropped on concrete or indoor range floors, which matters more than it sounds if you're running fast reloads.
Smart Details for Practical Use
The stainless finish resists corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and the general grime that builds up at the range. Witness holes machined into the body give you a quick visual of your round count at a glance. The magazine comes pre-drilled at the base if you want to add an extended base pad later, giving you the option to customize grip and handling without any gunsmithing. This magazine works in Kimber Custom and Pro full-size models with full-length grips, and being a factory part, it fits the tight tolerances those pistols demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Kimber 10mm magazine work in other 1911 pistols besides Kimber?
Yes, as long as the other 1911 is chambered in 10mm and uses a full-length grip frame. Many shooters report that Kimber magazines feed reliably in mil-spec full-size 1911s from other manufacturers. That said, some 1911s can be particular about magazine brands, so running it through a few reloads before counting on it is smart practice.
Can I load 9 rounds instead of 8 in this magazine?
Technically you might fit 9 rounds, but you shouldn't. The magazine is engineered for 8-round capacity in the 10mm cartridge. Overloading can damage the follower, deform the feed lips, and create feeding problems. Stick with 8 to ensure reliable operation.
What makes this factory Kimber magazine better than aftermarket alternatives?
Kimber built this magazine to the same precise tolerances as their 1911 pistols. The 1911 operates on exceptionally tight specs, and factory magazines are designed to work within those tolerances perfectly. Aftermarket magazines sometimes compromise on dimensions, springs, or follower design, leading to failures to feed, double feeds, or other malfunctions. For a handgun this precise, the factory magazine is the proven choice.
How do I maintain and care for this magazine?
Keep it clean by occasionally disassembling it to remove carbon and debris that can slow the follower or bind the spring. If you keep it loaded for long periods, consider rotating it with another magazine to avoid spring fatigue, though modern springs are quite robust. Load rounds carefully to avoid binding the feed lips, and avoid repeatedly dropping loaded magazines onto hard concrete surfaces.
