MAGAZINE, 1911, ELITE TACTICAL, .45 ACP, FULL-SIZE, 8 ROUND, ETM BASE PAD
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 they'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. They've blended the latest improvements in manufacturing and materials technology with their 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 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 they designed the ETM, so you will never have to.
