Description

This Watchtower 17-round magazine is engineered for double-stack 1911 pistols chambered in 9mm. It pairs the extended capacity you need with construction that holds up to real-world use.

The magazine body is forged from stainless steel and finished with a Diamond-Like Carbon coating. That DLC finish isn't just about looks. It provides a measurable boost in hardness and wear resistance while protecting against corrosion and chemical damage. Whether you're running it through hundreds of rounds at the range or storing it loaded, the coating keeps the metal protected and functioning smoothly. The black DLC finish blends seamlessly with modern tactical and competition pistol builds.

With 17 rounds of 9mm, this magazine gives you the firepower that makes double-stack 1911s so appealing. Loading and reloading are smooth, and the design integrates well with 1911 platforms that accept this magazine pattern. It's straightforward to maintain and can be fully disassembled for cleaning when needed.

This is a no-nonsense magazine for people who want capacity without compromise. Whether you're a competition shooter, someone who appreciates modern 1911 design, or just want spare magazines that work, this gets the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this magazine work with standard single-stack 1911s?

No. This is a double-stack magazine designed specifically for 1911 pistols with double-stack frame geometry. Standard single-stack 1911 magazines and frames are not compatible. Check your pistol's specifications to confirm it's designed for double-stack magazines before purchasing.

What does the DLC coating do?

DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating provides hard-wearing surface protection. It increases scratch and wear resistance, protects against corrosion from moisture and storage, and reduces friction during loading and feeding. It also keeps the magazine easier to clean since powder residue doesn't stick as readily.

Is the magazine easy to load and unload?

Yes, the 17-round capacity does mean the spring is fairly stiff when loaded to full capacity, which is typical for double-stack magazines. Many people find a magazine loader helpful for comfort, especially if you load and reload frequently. The magazine functions smoothly once loaded and seats cleanly in the pistol.

Can I mix and match magazines for my double-stack 1911?

Double-stack 1911 magazines from different manufacturers may have compatibility issues depending on the specific firearm. Some will work interchangeably, but others require magazines designed for that particular platform. Test any new magazines at the range before relying on them for important use.

How do I maintain this magazine?

Keep it clean and dry, especially the feed lips and inside surfaces. The magazine can be fully disassembled for thorough cleaning. Replace the spring if feeding becomes sluggish or unreliable after years of heavy use. The DLC coating resists corrosion, but storing magazines unloaded in a dry environment extends their life.
