The Colt M1911 is one of the most popular handguns ever designed. It’s like the Remington 870 of the handgun world. Millions have been produced and many of them today are in civilian circulation.

Other manufacturers, like Rock Island Armory and Para Ordnance, were quick to take a hint. Para and Rock Island 1911 pistols (among others) round out the already enormous catalog of civilian owners.

As a result, demand for 1911 parts and accessories, like 1911 mags, has been strong for many years.

That being the case, rust, abrasion, fatigued springs, damaged feed lips, and missing followers can all take a 1911 mag out of commission right quick. For a gun with an all-steel frame and legendary action, the mag is arguably one of the weakest parts of the gun.

For most 1911 owners, this means they’ll go through many 1911 mags before they need to replace other internal parts (all of which except the springs are basically bombproof).

But, if you need a new magazine for your 1911-style pistol, stop looking and take note. Bookmark the following link: SarcoInc.com.

They carry a 1911 mag (which they also produce) which utterly raises the bar.

Their 1911 mag is compatible with Government and Commercial 1911 pistols, including the M1911A1, and many aftermarket producers, like Rock Island’s 1911 pistols.

The mag itself is constructed of high-strength steel and constructed on a high-speed link press; the body tooling has 6 stages and the follower tooling has 16; together, there are fewer radical bends and stress points.

The mag body is also welded by a CNC-robotic arm argon welder; the welds are so precise you can’t even see them.

The magazine body is processed in a hot bath of nitrites, sodium hydroxide, and nitrates, converting the surface to “magnetite,” a super-slick, super-hard finish that resists abrasive damage and corrosion with equal facility.

The nitriding process, which produces such a resilient finish, also leaves the core highly flexible, ductile, and strong. It resists stress fractures and is strong enough to eliminate deformation arising from cartridge inertia.

The magazine also features parallel feed lips and a rounded follower design that enables smooth feeding and properly timed cartridge release.

The mag itself is also easier to feed, with a dimpled design that allows for a smoother mag catch override for an immensely satisfying experience. Even the 1911 mag spring is better - the springs used in these mags are tested to 20,000 cycles.

And, if you needed additional third-party accreditation, these mags meet all of the specifications pursuant to MIL-DTL-13924, ASTM-D768, and ISO-11408.

Since you’re still here, get ready for the best part: the price. These 1911 mags are literally half the price of reasonable, comparable .45 mags - coming in at under $7 - they’re only $6.95 each.

This is a rare case where it sounds too good to be true but it isn’t. For less than $35, you can add 5 of these to your range bag.

And you should. Check the following link for these 1911 mags to learn more.
