Description
Magnum Research's Desert Eagle 1911 is not your average government-spec pistol, and this magazine reflects that. Built specifically for the Desert Eagle 1911 platform, this is not a generic 1911 mag with a Magnum Research sticker on it. It is designed to fit the G, GR, and C model variants of the Desert Eagle 1911, so you get the kind of reliable drop-free fit and feed reliability you would expect from a factory magazine.
The body is constructed from steel with a corrosion-resistant blued finish, which keeps things durable and functional without adding unnecessary bulk. Inside, a steel wire spring and polymer follower work together to keep cartridges properly aligned and feeding smoothly through all 8 rounds. Wide-cut witness holes on the body let you do a quick round count at a glance, which is a simple but genuinely useful feature when you are at the range and moving fast. The removable polymer baseplate makes cleaning and inspection straightforward.
For anyone who runs a Desert Eagle 1911 regularly, having a couple of spare magazines on hand just makes sense. Mag changes during range sessions are smoother, and you are not stuck wrestling with a single mag all afternoon. This one ships as a single unit, so pick up a few if you plan to run drills or just want the peace of mind of a loaded spare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Magnum Research 1911 models does this magazine fit?
This magazine is designed to fit the Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911 G, GR, and C model pistols. It is not a universal 1911 magazine, so it is worth double-checking your specific model before ordering. If you are unsure which variant you have, the model designation is typically listed on the frame or in your owner's documentation.
Will this work in a standard 1911 from another manufacturer?
This magazine is purpose-built for the Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911 platform and is not guaranteed to function reliably in 1911 pistols from other brands. The Desert Eagle 1911 has some dimensional differences from a standard GI-spec 1911, so fit and feed reliability in other guns cannot be counted on. For best results, stick to using this magazine in the guns it was designed for.
Is this an OEM factory magazine or an aftermarket replacement?
This is a factory Magnum Research magazine sold under their own part number (MAG1911-458). It is the same magazine designed to come with the pistol, not a third-party aftermarket alternative. That matters for anyone who wants to keep the gun running the way it was intended.
How many rounds does this magazine hold?
This magazine holds 8 rounds of .45 ACP, which is a standard capacity for full-size 1911 pistols. The wide-cut witness holes along the body let you quickly see how many rounds are remaining without dropping the magazine.
Is the baseplate removable for cleaning?
Yes, the polymer baseplate is removable, which makes it easy to disassemble the magazine for routine cleaning and inspection. Keeping your magazines clean is one of the most overlooked parts of firearm maintenance, and the removable baseplate makes it simple.
