Description
The .38 Super cartridge has a loyal following among 1911 enthusiasts, and for good reason. It hits harder than 9mm, feeds like a dream in a 1911 frame, and carries a certain old-school mystique that's hard to argue with. If you're running a Springfield Armory 1911 in .38 Super, this is the factory magazine for it.
This is the PI6095 from Springfield Armory, a 9-round single-stack magazine finished in a classic matte blue. It's built from steel throughout, with a high-tensile steel spring, flat steel follower, and a welded steel floor plate that holds up to regular use and the occasional rough handling at the range. Wide-cut witness holes along the body let you check your round count at a glance without having to think about it.
Because this is a factory Springfield magazine, fit and function are dialed in for Springfield 1911 pistols. No break-in, no tuning, no fitting required. You load it, drop it in, and it works. That peace of mind matters, especially if this mag is going into rotation as a carry spare or a competition reload.
This magazine is a great choice for anyone who wants to add capacity at the range, build a reliable rotation of mags for competition shooting, or simply have a proper backup on hand. The blued finish is the more traditional option and pairs naturally with blued or parkerized 1911 builds. If your gun wears stainless, Springfield also offers this same magazine in a stainless finish (PI6082), but for a classic-looking 1911 setup, the PI6095 fits right in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine fit any 1911, or is it specific to Springfield Armory?
This magazine is designed and built to factory specs for Springfield Armory 1911 pistols. While many Government-size 1911s share similar magazine dimensions, Springfield factory magazines are optimized for fit and function in Springfield-built guns. Using it in other 1911 platforms may work, but proper fit and reliable feeding are only guaranteed for Springfield 1911 models.
Is this a single-stack magazine?
Yes. The 1911 platform uses a single-stack magazine design, and this PI6095 is no different. The 9-round capacity is standard for .38 Super in a Government-size 1911 frame.
Why does the .38 Super 1911 hold 9 rounds when a .45 ACP version only holds 7 or 8?
.38 Super is a narrower cartridge than .45 ACP, so more rounds can be stacked in a single-column magazine of the same length. A standard Government-size 1911 in .38 Super typically holds 9 rounds, giving you a couple extra rounds in the same frame compared to the .45 ACP version.
What is the difference between this magazine and the stainless version?
The main difference is the finish. This PI6095 has a traditional blued steel finish, while the PI6082 is the stainless steel version. Both are factory Springfield magazines for the same caliber and capacity. The blued version pairs naturally with blued or parkerized pistols, while stainless is a common preference for stainless-frame 1911 builds.
How should I maintain this magazine to keep it running reliably?
Periodic disassembly and cleaning is the best way to extend the life of any steel magazine. Wipe down the interior, inspect the spring and follower for wear or deformation, and apply a light coat of oil to the exterior to keep the blued finish from rusting. Avoid storing it fully loaded for extended periods, as that can gradually weaken the spring over time.
