I won't use mags with metal followers in my Alloy frame Kimber, only those with plastic followers. My favorite mags are Wilson 47D's.

Paul, I have been using Checkmate mags for a few years and can swear by them. I have recommended them to others, and they are happy with them as well. TOP GUN SUPPLY has them in stock, NOW and I believe they may be on sale. Make sure you order the correct FEEDLIPS that your gun likes.

Thank you very much. I believe my new Specialist came with the Checkmate Hybrid....

The only place I know of that you can get them is from the link I provided, meaning direct from the manufacturer in Texas.

I use their 8R-45-RG as spare mags for my Guardian & Vbob. and their 7R-45-RO in my 3" Kimber. I haven't used their 10-rounders, but I wouldn't be afraid of them.

I like my checkmates. Just plain reliable.Not to mention the fact that they look EXACTLY like the Kimber Pro's that I paid more than I should have for..... As a matter of fact... when I say exactly... I mean down to the feed lips. There was no difference between the two... so I'm thinking... "gee... I wonder who makes Kimber Mags?" hmmmmmm.......
Just sayin'

Right. If I get 2 Check Mates and 2 Tripp Research I still only have 6 mags.

Couple of Wilsons would be very nice too.
