CHIP MCCORMICK CUSTOM .45 GOV'T NO PAD

For the money, you absolutely can not beat Chip McCormick Shooting Star magazines. Consistent feeding and function in a wide variety of pistols, and at this price, you can afford to stock up.

Back in the early days of IPSC and practical shooting let alone Law Enforcement and military use, there were few options for great magazines. When Chip came out with this mag, many of us jumped on them. I've used them since day one and swear by them. Just keep them reasonably clean and you'll never had a problem with them. I've never wore one out in all the years I have been using them. that equates to hundreds of thousands of rounds mainly on the west coast, but also on the east coast.

I've been using these mags in my Springfields and colts for 20 years. For the money, they are simply the best. Trust my life to'em. Just ordered a couple more for my brother for his birthday, good to know he can rely on them also.

these Mags are the only mags I use in my 1911A1. Even with these being the "low end" of the McCormick line. they function flawlessly and you can always find the pads at a local gun dealer. I have no reason to switch to any other mags because these work just fine thank you very much !!!

Chip McCormick mags have a reputation with everyone I know for working well. I ordered two of these magazines for my Les Baer. Bottom line is the mags don't feed FMJ ammo properly. I've had problems with continuous failures to feed/double feeds. The follower comes too far forward on the last round, and I have to pry the magazine out of the gun. I lined these mags up against Wilson and Baer mags - the McCormicks are a different angle, more "nose forward" by thousandths of an inch. If you have a gun which is tightly manufactured these mags probably aren't for you. They would probably work just fine in a Colt or Springfield though (I've had both Colts and Springfields).

I don't like pad - this fits flush with eight rounds.
own twemty - only brand I buy.

I bet my life on it!

I like eight rounds. I do not like butpads.
these fit flush, work great, and cost less.
only brand I buy - you can bet your life!

I have a custom built tactical 1911 in which EVERYTHING was hand fit. All quality parts, no cast or MIM. Had some Colt Gov't. mags which did not fit, so I tried these and Kimber which I also had on hand, both worked beautifully. Ran a box of ammo through the gun and all 4 mags without one hiccup. If you spend the money on a nice 1911, don't cheap out on mags. Go with a quality name like McCormick, Wilson, Mec-Gar, or Kimber.

I ordered two of these mags, McCormick has a good reputation with multiple 1911 shooters I know. I have tried these with 230 grain FMJ ammo, 185 JHP, 230 JHP - and with a Les Baer Thunder Ranch and Colt Commander. They don't feed consistently with either ball or JHP ammo. The followers come forward with the last round out of the mag, making it hard to pull the empty magazine out. I've read all the pre-requisites McCormick specified on the packaging - I'm using new ammo, not reloads and two quality pistols which feed just fine with Wilson and Baer magazines. There is something "off" about these McCormick mags, they just don't work.

I bought six of these to use in Wild Bunch competitions. My son and I shoot in the traditional class and use these in our low budget High Standard 1911. Some guys use gold cups and expensive guns and magazines and they have troubles...We have had NO problems with the magazines...they drop free and we are completely happy. We previously used cheep Triple K magazines...they were junk...the magazine is the heart of the gun..dont skimp.

good

Have used one blued and one stainless, 8 round. Used them in both a Remington 1911 R1 and a Kimber Target II. About 300 rounds thru each so far with no problems. Might rate higher, but don't know about the durability, yet.

Excellent magazines that have never given me issues. Great quality and value. Can't wait to order more...

this mag is terrible, It falls out of gun on every firing. Upon closer inspection with a dial caliper, the original mag that came from Springfield Armory measured .5455 thickness at the catch slot, this mag measured.5390, so therefore it is to "sloppy" to make proper engagement of the mag catch, it also does not have an audible click sound that would announce proper locking.

Reliable feeding in a variety of 1911 pistols. We use in our "Wild Bunch" competition guns, with excellent results in all our pistols. No tuning of magazine to individual pistol required.

The Chip McCormick classic Shooting Star magazines are one of the best buys for the money. I have had no reliability issues with them and I own over a dozen of these magazines. I trust them enough to use them for day-to-day carry.
