SFOWeekendWarrior's Review of Wilson Combat ETM Magazine Base Pad
These base pads are great! They make magazine loading and removal much easier. I have the extended mag well on my 1911. I bought a 3-pack of these to exchange with the base pads on my 1911 magazines. They fit on the magazines just fine.
So here is the BUYER BEWARE part:
Although they attach to a typical 1911 magazine without any fit issues, the sidewall features of the base pads effectively "shorten" the outside length of the magazine. So when I went to load the magazine, the base pad bottomed out on the frame before the slot in the magazine engaged the magazine release. To make sure I was not losing my mind, I compared the overall length of the magazine to one of my Wilson Combat magazines with these base pads installed. The Wilson Combat magazine is about 1/8th of an inch longer than my other magazine. The base pad does not contact the frame. If you want the base pads, just buy the magazine UPC:874218004361.

Pros:
- Great base pad for your 1911 magazines
Cons:
- The standard magazine with this base pad may be too short to lock in the pistol frame
