Magazine, for 1911 Full Size Pistols, .45 ACP, 8 Rds, Elite Tactical, by Wilson Combat®

Searching for the most dependable magazine to accompany your Full Size 1911 .45 ACP handgun? Look no further than the 500 ETM. No matter what kind of usage or environment you're in, it won't let you down.

Wilson Combat®, with a firmly established reputation for outstanding quality, the highest reliability, and superb service both before and after the sale has built hundreds of thousands of 1911 single-stack magazines. They get a lot of feedback about magazines, and magazine performance - and they listen. Their magazines have undergone 3 design and/or material changes, each carefully evaluated and proven before they were released to the market. The result of their latest effort is a completely redesigned magazine with the features we've heard you ask for.

The Wilson Combat® Elite Tactical magazine started with a blank sheet of paper and 30+ years of 1911 and 1911 magazine experience. It has set a new standard in 1911 magazines while redefining state-of-the-art. We've blended the latest improvements in manufacturing and materials technology with our own real-world shooting experience to provide quality, quality, and more quality. From material selection to manufacturing process to final testing - this magazine is built like your life, and ours, depended on it, as someday it may. No compromises, just stone-cold reliability you can depend on.

• The ETM is primarily a combat magazine, but if you're a competition shooter, you just may gain that critical advantage that will move you past the competition.
• The real world for a combat pistol isn't always in a dry, protected environment. So they built the ETM to be impervious to the elements.
• Every component is manufactured from either a high-grade stainless steel or super tough nylon. They worried about grime and corrosion when we designed the ETM, so you will never have to.
