Wilson Combat has been making 1911 magazines since 1977, and the 47D platform is still their most popular 8-round .45 ACP offering. The 47DAB is the blacked-out version, combining the same proven internals with a black fluoropolymer finish and an aluminum .350 base pad built to handle the abuse that comes with hard use, frequent drops, and rough storage.
The tube is made from aircraft-grade certified 17-7 PH stainless steel with heat-treated walls that measure .027 inches thick, which puts it at the top of the industry for body rigidity. The spring is fabricated from maximum tensile strength heavy-duty spring wire, designed for enhanced feeding and reliable slide stop activation round after round. The follower is a fiber-filled, self-lubricating nylon design that keeps things running smooth without needing any extra attention.
One thing worth noting is that this magazine is built to stay loaded for extended periods without taking a set or losing tension. That matters for carry or for mags sitting in a range bag for months at a time. The aluminum .350 base pad adds a bit of extra grip surface for reloads and takes the impact of drops better than plastic alternatives.
It fits full-size 1911 Government and Commander-pattern pistols chambered in .45 ACP, and it plays well with most 1911-pattern clones from major manufacturers. Made in the USA.
The 47DAB is designed for full-size 1911 Government and Commander-pattern pistols chambered in .45 ACP. It also works with most 1911-pattern clones from manufacturers like Colt, Springfield, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer, and Taurus. If your 1911 is a standard Government or Commander frame in .45 ACP, you should be good to go.
Both magazines share the same internal components and 8-round capacity. The difference is purely in the finish and base pad. The standard 47D comes in a natural stainless finish with a standard polymer base pad, while the 47DAB features a black fluoropolymer finish and an aluminum .350 base pad for added durability and a more tactical look.
Yes. Wilson Combat specifically engineers these magazines to remain fully loaded for extended periods without the spring taking a set or losing tension. The high-tensile spring wire used in the 47DAB is rated for long service life, so keeping it loaded in a carry holster or a range bag over time is not a concern.
The aluminum .350 base pad is noticeably more durable than plastic alternatives. It handles mag drops on hard surfaces much better and gives you a slightly better purchase when stripping the mag during a reload. It also adds a small amount of positive engagement for clearing malfunctions under stress.
Yes, Wilson Combat magazines are manufactured in the United States. Wilson Combat has been producing these magazines domestically since 1977 and holds them to tight tolerances that have made them a standard choice for competition shooters and duty professionals alike.
Yes. The self-lubricating nylon follower and high-tensile spring are specifically designed to ensure smooth, consistent feeding, including with hollowpoint and defensive ammunition profiles. Wilson Combat 1911 magazines have a long track record of reliable HP feeding, which is part of why they're trusted for carry use.
