Springfield Armory 1911 9mm 9-Round Stainless Steel Magazine w/ Slam Pad

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Springfield 1911 models is the PI6090SP magazine compatible with?

This magazine is designed for full-size Government and Commander-length Springfield Armory 1911 pistols chambered in 9mm, which covers models like the Loaded, Range Officer, Mil-Spec, Ronin, and similar standard-frame variants. It is not compatible with the Springfield EMP, which uses a purpose-built shortened magazine specific to that platform. If you're unsure about your specific model, checking your owner's manual or Springfield's website is a good call.

Will this Springfield 1911 magazine work in other brands of 9mm 1911 pistols?

Standard 1911 magazines often show a good degree of cross-compatibility between brands that follow the traditional 1911 pattern, since the platform is fairly standardized. That said, Springfield recommends using their factory magazines for optimal fit and function in their pistols. If you're considering running this in a non-Springfield 1911, it's worth confirming compatibility with that specific model before relying on it.

What does the slam pad on this magazine actually do?

The polymer slam pad is the thicker base plate on the bottom of the magazine. It gives you a wider, more positive surface to push against when seating the mag, which helps during faster or more forceful reloads. It also provides a small amount of cushion if the magazine gets dropped on a hard surface at the range.

Is this a genuine factory magazine or an aftermarket product?

This is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) magazine made by Springfield Armory, built to the same specs and materials as the magazines that ship with their 1911 pistols. It is not an aftermarket or third-party product. Buying factory means you're getting the same fitment and quality standards Springfield uses on the production line.

Does this magazine come with any kind of warranty?

Springfield Armory backs their factory magazines with a limited lifetime warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. For specific warranty claim details, you would contact Springfield Armory directly.

How many rounds does this Springfield 1911 9mm magazine hold?

This magazine holds 9 rounds of 9mm Luger ammunition in a single-stack configuration, which is standard capacity for a full-size 1911 chambered in 9mm. The side-mounted witness holes let you do a quick visual check on your round count without dropping the magazine.
