MEC-GAR 1911 Magazine .45 ACP 11/rd EXT Blued

The MEC-GAR 1911 Magazine .45 ACP 11/rd EXT Blued is a purpose-built extended capacity magazine engineered for the full-size 1911 platform in .45 ACP. Built by Mecgar, a manufacturer with deep roots in firearms component reliability, this magazine provides operators and shooters with increased ammunition capacity while maintaining the proven geometry and feeding reliability the 1911 demands.

Construction centers on a heat-treated carbon steel tube paired with a higher tensile music wire spring and steel follower—specifications chosen specifically for the sustained pressure and reliability demands of .45 ACP duty use. The welded butt-plate locks the assembly together without reliance on glue or friction-fit methods, ensuring long-service durability through thousands of load cycles. The blued finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for duty carry and indoor range environments, though operators in high-salt or wet-weather settings should treat it as a corrosion-prone finish requiring regular maintenance.

This magazine is designed for serious shooters who demand reliability and performance from their gear, making it an excellent choice for both competitive shooting and personal defense. The 11-round capacity delivers a practical middle ground between standard single-stack 1911 magazines and oversized commercial options—enough extra ammunition to extend engagement duration without significantly altering draw ergonomics or holster fit.
