Magazine, 1911, Elite Tactical, .45 ACP, Full-Size, 8 Round, ETM Base Pad
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.
The Wilson Combat Elite Tactical magazine has set a new standard in 1911 magazines while redefining state-of-the-art. They have blended the latest improvements in manufacturing and materials technology with their own real-world shooting experience to provide quality, quality, and more quality. 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.

Magazine Tube:
- The ETM has the strongest magazine tube yet developed, virtually eliminating feed lip cracking, tube spread and cracking, and general fatigue - some of the most common manufacturing and/or age-related defects in other magazines.
Magazine Spring:
- There's no need to worry about leaving your mags loaded for long periods of time with this spring and will always be ready for use no matter the scenario. Another factor in spring life is the degree of compression when the magazine is loaded.
Base Pad:
- The ETM's almost indestructible base pad provides a sure grip when pulling a magazine from a pistol or a tight pouch especially in a combat or competitive situation when seconds count in reloading. If you have ever been in the rain, trying to get a traditional magazine from a wet, tight pouch, you'll really appreciate this feature and it might save your life.
PLEASE NOTE: Some Kimber® 1911 handguns have barrel feed ramps that are left undressed at the factory and will interfere with the ramped front of this magazine! The barrel can be easily modified by a gunsmith to provide the proper clearance required!
