What magazines do you run in your 10mm and .45ACP DWes?
 
Generally I have been running Metalform in the 10mm, that's what they came with, though I've tried Tripp Research 9 rounders. They run fine in the CBOB but not so much in the Razorback. I don't know yet if it's the mags or the gun or a bit of both. The RZ-10 is tight and not really broken in yet.

What about .45ACP. It seems the OEM are Metalform there as well. I've used KimPro, Novak-ACTMAG and Chip McCormick. The Shooting Star and Power Mags have worked well.

I've heard good things about Wilson Combat. SIG uses Checkmate, but I'm don't have a good impression of them at this point.

What do you run?

DW 1911's, 45 ACP.

Metalform, Checkmate 8 rounders with black Teflon dimpled followers and Hybrid feed lips, Wilson Combat 47d's, Chip McCormick Power Mags 8 rounders.
The ones SIG is shipping with are the Checkmate ones I mentioned, Great Mags!
I really have no mags that won't work in my Dan Wesson 1911's. Even Factory Colt mags work well.

My DW and Sigs aren't fussy about mags. My Colt on the other hand, only works with Colt branded Checkmate stainless mags (non-dimpled follower, hybrid feed lips). The Rock, well it's too soon to tell...

The DW came with a USGI 7 round mag. I bought Chip McCormicks, Wilsons, and Colt branded Checkmates. I like the Colt branded Checkmates the best, but I have had a problem with the springs getting compressed after a while.

I use Tripp, McCormick, Metal Form, ACT and I carry Wilson 47D's.

I use metalforms with the round metal followers.

My latest Valor came with those, I LIKE them!

My DW VBob came with Checkmate 8 rd mags, that I really like. I also have WC mags that run flawless, except for the flush service mag. Sometimes that mag causes the slide to not lock back on the last rounder, forcing me to pull the mag out... pbbbb

They are not sexy and be had for $11-12 on sale. I have never had an issue with them. Nuttin' fancy they just work.

Generally none of my 1911 have been fussy about magazines. I usually stick with the mags that came from the factory with the gun and since none have turned out to be junk, I've used them.

With my Colt Delta, I used Colt branded mags; with the DWs, Metalform; with the SIG GSR Novak ACT-Mag (although these are no longer to be had, you can buy ACT-Mags that are not Novak branded); I have strayed on occasion and purchased Chip McCormick magazines and Tripp Research.

I did have a problem with some Chip McCormick Power Mags in a DW PTM-B I bought. They would not go in unless I pressed the mag release. Other mags were fine. Yet the same Power Mags will insert fine in my DW PTE-B. Haven't figured that one out yet.

I only use Wilson Combat with my .45's. Not to say that others won't work, but since I first tried them, they have been flawless. So instead of experimenting with unknowns I've stayed with what I know works.
