v35,
Who's would you like. There are many different manufacturer's, and most of them, tend to put their own spin on things. I am sure Wilsons, has their own spin, as they are absolutely the best 1911 magazine on the planet, for reliability. I still have not figured out yet, as to why either.
I am sure they would have one at Numerich, too.

USGI.
I converted a Kahr TP45 to use both 1911 mags as well as $40 Kahr mags.
The 1911 mags cut 3/8" off the overall pistol height and look neater.
There are issues with Colt SS and GI regarding follower hopping over the slidestop. I've had the same problems with Tokarev pistols.
After "adjusting" the 1911 followers I want to return them to Mil Spec dimensions because it appears recoiling brass kicks the follower up enabling it to hop over the slidestop.The fix for that is to bend the follower leading edge down a scosh.
An undersize spring will allow follower instability, leading to jams.0 -
We learned from AR experience, a stabilized follower improves reliability.
The 1911s spot welded base design wont allow a follower having tangs fore and aft to enter the top. I suspect Wilson has a removable base and nice stable plastic follower in their mags.
Thanks for the prints source.0 -
No, and no.
I have a number of Metalform magazines with front and rear guided followers inserted from the top. It takes a bit of cussing but it can be done. They feed well are very reliable on the slide stop. The only drawback is that you are limited to 7x.45 in a flush magazine. They make one magazine with that follower that protrudes about 5/16" and is a native 8 shot with plenty of spring.
The Wilson magazine follower is very shallow, which lets them get 8 rounds into a nearly flush magazine. The 47 springs are kind of skimpy, too, but the ETMs are better.0
