I have a brand new Springfield "1911-A1 Mil-Spec" pistol. It came with two 7-round mags with no manufacturer's markings evident.
I disassembled for the purpose of converting them to 8 round capacity. First I tried a "Checkmate" brand conversion kit. Then I tried a "Wilson Combat" conversion kit. Neither one would work. I posted on the Facebook group for Springfield Armory owners, figuring there would be plenty of people owning these lower priced pistols. Not one person responding had anything good to write about the mags that came with their pistols. At present my thinking is to just get those two unused conversion kits out of there and save them for future use, while disposing of the magazines that came with the Springfield Armory in the trash. Still I remain curious. Does anybody know who makes these mags for Springfield Armory? IMG_0167.jpg IMG_0166.jpg IMG_0165.jpg
