Wilson Combat has been in the 1911 magazine business long enough to have earned a genuine reputation, not just a marketing one. The 47DE is their full-size 8-round .45 ACP magazine built for Government-frame 1911s, and it's become one of the most trusted options out there for everything from daily carry to competition to hard-use training.
The tube itself is the foundation. It's made from aircraft-grade certified 17-7 PH stainless steel, heat-treated for maximum durability and service life. Wilson Combat machines their tube walls to be among the thickest in the industry, which goes a long way toward preventing the kind of feed lip spreading and cracking that kills cheaper magazines over time. Tight dimensional tolerances mean the mag drops free cleanly and rounds sit properly inside the tube without binding.
Inside, a fiber-fill nylon self-lubricating follower keeps rounds feeding smoothly, and the heavy-duty spring is built to handle repeated loading cycles and long-term storage without losing tension. That last point matters more than people think. A magazine that loses spring tension from sitting loaded is a liability.
The 47DE ships with a removable extended .625" polymer base pad. It gives you something to grab onto when you're seating the mag or running a reload under pressure. It also works great with flared magwells, since the extended pad indexes against the funnel and guides the mag home. The base pad is removable if you want to swap it out for a different style.
Wilson Combat backs the magazine tube with a lifetime satisfaction policy. If the tube spreads, cracks, or becomes unusable through normal use, they'll replace it. That kind of confidence in their own product says something. Whether you're building out a spare mag kit or replacing worn-out mags on a carry gun, the 47DE is a solid, no-drama choice.
Yes. The 47DE is designed to fit any standard full-size Government-frame 1911, including Colt, Springfield, Rock Island, Kimber, and similar clones. Wilson Combat holds their dimensional tolerances tight enough that the magazine should drop free cleanly in any properly spec'd 1911 Government-pattern pistol. If your 1911 uses a proprietary or non-standard frame size, double-check compatibility before ordering.
The 47D is the same core magazine but comes with a flat, standard-height base pad. The 47DE adds the extended .625" polymer base pad, which gives you more to grab on to during reloads and works particularly well with flared magwells. The base pad on the 47DE is removable, so you can swap it for a different style if needed.
Yes, and that's one of the things Wilson Combat specifically engineers for. The heavy-duty spring is fabricated from high-tensile-strength spring wire and is built to hold tension over extended periods of storage. Many 1911 owners use these as their dedicated carry or home defense magazines for exactly this reason.
Absolutely, and this is actually one of the most common reasons people choose the 47DE over the standard-pad version. The extended base pad protrudes past the magwell opening on most flared magwells, making it easier to index the magazine and seat it quickly. It pairs especially well with Wilson Combat's own magwells.
Wilson Combat offers a lifetime satisfaction policy on the magazine tube itself. If the tube spreads, cracks, or becomes unusable during normal use, they will replace it at no charge. Springs and followers are considered consumable parts and may eventually need replacement with heavy use, which is standard across the industry.
Nothing is wrong. New Wilson Combat magazines are known to have stiff springs right out of the box, and loading to the full 8-round capacity can take some effort at first. This is completely normal and the spring will break in over time with regular loading and use. A mag loader can take the hassle out of those first few loading sessions.
