Almost perfect...but not quite. - Ed Brown Products Pistol Magazine, .45 ACP, 8-Round

I received my 2 Ed Brown .45 ACP 1911 8 round stainless-steel magazines undamaged and in a timely manner. The one mag. fit perfectly into my new Springfield Armory Milspec .45 ACP 1911 (5") and snapped easily into place with just a push. The other mag., however, required a hard smack on the butt pad to seat and lock it into the gun. I removed the plastic bottom and let the secondary metal cover under it hold the spring in place and it snapped perfectly into the gun. A bit of light sanding (maybe .005" to .010") of the top of the plastic cover where it hits the mag-well slightly would take care of this small issue of "tightness". The magazine depicted shows numbers adjacent to the bullet sight holes, however, there were no numbers on the mags. I received. I would still buy these again as they are well rated and high quality built. The metal follower is also nice, and more period correct if you care about that. I would recommend these magazines.
