The Wilson Combat 47 isn't a newcomer trying to make a name for itself. It's been the go-to 1911 magazine for generations of shooters who simply don't want to gamble on their gun running right. For a platform as refined as the 1911, the magazine is one of the few links in the chain that can make or break function, and the 47 gets it right.
The tube is made from aircraft-grade 17-7 PH stainless steel, heat-treated for durability, and is among the thickest-walled magazines in the industry. That matters in the real world, because thinner tubes are more prone to spreading feed lips under sustained use. The spring is fabricated from maximum tensile strength heavy-duty wire specifically to resist spring set over time, so the magazine feeds just as well on round one thousand as it did on round one. The Fiber-Fill nylon follower is self-lubricating, which reduces drag and keeps the action smooth without relying on extra oil or lubrication inside the tube.
This is a standard 7-round, flush-fit configuration designed for full-size Government and Commander-length 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. The .350 inch polymer base pad is removable for easy cleaning and disassembly. Machined witness holes on the tube let you check your round count at a glance. The spring and follower are serviceable, meaning you can replace them down the road rather than retiring the whole magazine.
Wilson Combat backs the magazine tube with a lifetime satisfaction policy, covering any tube that spreads, cracks, or becomes unusable under normal use. That kind of standing behind your product says something. Whether you're stocking up on spare mags for range days or replacing a worn-out factory magazine, the Series 47 is the straightforward, proven choice.
The Series 47 is designed for full-size 1911 frames, which covers Government-length (5-inch barrel) and Commander-length (4.25-inch barrel) models chambered in .45 ACP. Full-size 1911 frames have a grip screw center-to-center measurement of approximately 3.0625 inches. Some 1911 variants like subcompact or proprietary-framed models may require their own specific magazines, so when in doubt it's worth double-checking your frame size before ordering.
It's fully serviceable. The spring and Fiber-Fill nylon follower can both be replaced when they eventually wear out, which is normal after heavy use. The magazine tube itself is covered by Wilson Combat's lifetime satisfaction policy, meaning they'll replace any tube that cracks, spreads, or fails under normal use. This is one of the reasons experienced 1911 owners prefer it over cheaper alternatives.
Yes. Wilson Combat specifically engineers the spring wire to resist spring set, meaning it's designed to hold tension and feed reliably even after being kept loaded for long periods. This is a key advantage over budget magazines that use lower-grade spring wire, which can fatigue and cause feeding issues over time.
The 47 is a 7-round magazine, while the 47D bumps capacity to 8 rounds using the same tube length. Knowledgeable 1911 owners often note that the 7-round version has more comfortable spring tension since the tube was designed around that capacity. If 8 rounds is the goal, Wilson's ETM line is a better engineered choice for that capacity than the 47D.
The .350 polymer base pad is removable, which makes it compatible with a range of aftermarket magazine accessories. If you're running a magwell or custom base pad, just verify the dimensions match up before assuming a straight swap. Most standard 1911 accessories sized for Government-frame magazines will work without issue.
Absolutely. The 47 has a strong track record of improving reliability in 1911s from a wide range of manufacturers, not just Wilson Combat pistols. The robust tube, quality follower, and precisely tensioned spring can resolve feeding issues that sometimes come stock with lower-spec factory magazines. It's a common first upgrade for anyone having cycling or feeding problems with their 1911.
