I have 2 Checkmates, 2 LB mags and 6 Wilson 47Ds. They all work great. Watch the Wilson website for sales.

I run them all in my Vbob and LB PII. No problems ever.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Thank you. Ill be sure to do just that. I reckon a man can never have enough mags. I shot my first ever match about a month or two ago and quickly found out I needed more mags. Ive ever only had just the two that come with pistols.

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.

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.

I was going to recommend Checkmate mags with Tripp Research Upgrade kits for $23.45 each shipped but the place that I purchased them from shut down their web store since the owner/operator accepted a position in the US Army in Korea. They were the best for the $$$ that I found.

I used to be big on the Tripp mags but then my Fusion and Heritage didn't like them. All of my 1911s love my Tripp upgraded Checkmate mags (got 10 of them now).
