The Chip McCormick Classic Full Size 1911 Magazine is a 7-round, .45 ACP stainless steel magazine built for full-sized Government Model 1911 pistols. It carries the traditional flush fit GI-style profile, so it sits clean in the frame with no extension hanging below the mainspring housing. For shooters who run a standard 5-inch 1911 and want a feed device that mirrors the original design with updated internals, this is a straightforward choice. The 7-round count matches the classic single-stack layout, keeping the gun balanced and the grip footprint unchanged. It's a practical pickup for range work, carry, or stocking spare shooting gear.
Construction starts with a laser welded magazine tube and a welded base plate, which removes the seam weakness common on folded-and-pinned bodies. The base plate is drilled to accept an optional polymer base pad if a shooter wants to add one later. Inside, an extra power spring drives a redesigned follower built for consistent lift across the full 7-round stack, and the tube wears a smooth finish that helps it drop free and seat without drag. The all-new materials and follower are aimed at long-term durability and reliable feeding rather than novelty. Compatibility is straightforward: it fits full-sized 1911 frames in .45 ACP, the Government Model pattern that defines the platform. Chip McCormick backs it with a 100% satisfaction guarantee per the manufacturer.
This magazine fits anyone running a full-size .45 ACP 1911 for range sessions, competition, or a duty and carry setup where flush fit matters. Buy spares so you can keep one loaded, one in rotation, and one on the bench during cleaning. The smooth tube and extra power spring make it a sensible match for high-volume practice days where reliable feeding under repetition counts. Pair it with the right cleaning routine and a few small parts on hand, and a 1911 stays running. Browse our 1911 pin set and a cleaning kit to round out your maintenance supplies.
It fits full-sized Government Model 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP. This is the standard 5-inch frame size that defines the original 1911 pattern. It is not designed for Commander or Officer length frames, which use shorter magazine bodies.
The magazine holds 7 rounds of .45 ACP. This matches the classic single-stack capacity of the original 1911 design, keeping the grip footprint and balance true to the platform while running a flush fit base plate.
Yes. The welded base plate is drilled to accept an optional polymer base pad, and the magazine can be disassembled for cleaning the tube, spring, and follower. Periodic teardown keeps the spring and follower moving freely for reliable feeding.
A laser welded tube and welded base plate eliminate the seam and pin weak points found on folded-and-pinned magazine bodies. Combined with the extra power spring and redesigned follower, the construction is built for durability and consistent feeding over high round counts.
