Wilson Combat has been building 1911 magazines since the late 1970s, and the 47D series is what put them on the map. The 47DC is the low-profile steel base pad version of that legendary design, built for full-size Government Model 1911s chambered in .45 ACP with an 8-round capacity. This isn't a budget aftermarket mag. It's the one trusted by professional instructors, competitive shooters, and serious everyday carriers who can't afford a malfunction.
The tube is manufactured from aircraft-grade certified 17-7 PH stainless steel and heat treated for maximum durability, with wall thickness that Wilson Combat claims is the thickest in the industry. That kind of construction means the feed lips hold their shape over years of hard use, and the tube resists corrosion without needing extra maintenance. The heavy-duty spring is fabricated from maximum tensile strength wire specifically to maintain consistent feeding performance and reliable slide stop activation even after extended use.
The follower is a fiber-infused nylon design that self-lubricates for smooth, consistent round presentation without binding. The base pad is a slim, removable low-profile steel unit that keeps the magazine compatible with tight-fitting mag pouches and holster rigs while adding meaningful drop resistance compared to polymer alternatives. It also comes off easily for cleaning and maintenance.
The 47DC fits full-size 1911 Government Model pistols across a wide range of manufacturers, not just Wilson Combat's own guns. If you're running a Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory Mil-Spec or similar full-size Government Model, this mag is very likely to drop in and function exactly as expected. Wilson Combat backs the tube with a lifetime satisfaction policy, replacing any tube that spreads, cracks, or becomes unusable during normal use.
Yes, the 47DC is designed to work with full-size Government Model 1911 pistols from most major manufacturers, not just Wilson Combat's own lineup. It's commonly used in Colt, Kimber, Springfield Armory, Ruger, and Rock Island Government-size 1911s, among others. That said, some 1911 variants like the Springfield EMP or Kimber Micro use proprietary sizing and won't accept standard Government Model mags, so double-check your specific model before ordering.
The lo-profile steel base pad sits much slimmer than extended or polymer pads, which makes it easier to seat the magazine in tight mag pouches and carrier rigs designed for flush-fit mags. The steel construction also gives it better drop resistance than polymer alternatives. It's removable, so you can swap it out for a different base pad style if your setup calls for it.
The 47DC is absolutely built with carry in mind. The low-profile base pad keeps the profile trim, and the 17-7 PH stainless steel construction handles the wear of daily carry without corroding or losing its shape. Wilson Combat's 47-series magazines have a long track record with law enforcement and military users where reliability under real-world conditions is non-negotiable.
Yes. Wilson Combat specifically engineers these springs from high-tensile wire to handle extended loaded storage without taking a set. This is one of the areas where quality mag springs really differentiate themselves from budget alternatives, and it's a key reason the 47-series has stayed so popular for long-term carry and storage use.
Wilson Combat backs the magazine tube with a lifetime satisfaction policy, meaning they'll replace any tube that spreads, cracks, or becomes unusable through normal use. Springs and followers are considered consumable parts and may need replacement after heavy use, which is standard across the industry. Replacement springs and followers are available directly from Wilson Combat.
The core internals are the same between the 47D and 47DC. The difference is entirely in the base pad: the 47D uses a standard-height base pad, while the 47DC uses a slimmer low-profile steel base pad that reduces overall length and improves compatibility with snug mag carriers. If you're carrying and need a cleaner fit in mag pouches, the 47DC is the better pick.
