I'm leaning towards the Wilson's, I will try them out the next time I'm at my LGS. Thanks for the reply. So you don't have any issues I presume with your Springers and the Wilson's not locking your slide back? The factory mags I got with my 3 previous Springers all have run flawlessly but I don't like the feel of them. I still have one of my loaded coupons, that I'm going to use and get their 10 rounders, I just want to add a few reliable 8 rounders to the stable.
I'm fairly new with 1911's but I bought 3 Wilson's when I got my first SA Dec.31 and I love it.. But Wilson has many great reviews just google them and YouTube ... Everyone says to buy those... U won't go wrong at allGlocku said:I'm leaning towards the Wilson's, I will try them out the next time I'm at my LGS. Thanks for the reply.

^^^^^^^^ I also use the WC mags, well when my Brown mag runs dry that is. 
I've been looking a lot on the web everybody is always praising those wilson mags. I been on the 1911 platform for a good while now and everyone has been a Springer so far. I have been never the type of person to try and fix something that isn't broken and I never replaced any of the factory mags, it's just Springfield doesn't offer the 8 round mags.
I have two of the 10 rounders coming that you posted the other day to my LGS. He got them for me for 28 bucks each. He spoke very highly of them.
I do not use wilson magazines and never will, I bought 10 cheap 1911 magazines and if you know how a magazine is suppose to work you will never have any problems. The fact is that wilson does all the work for you this is why it is so expensive. I paid $6.27ea for 10 magazines, took them apart and filed them where it was needed, oiled and it always holds the slide on the last round and never had a mishap, if I bought 10 wilson magazines I would have spent over $300, not this dumb blonde hehe
I looked on their as well and Hilton is praising those CMC Powermags I ran those in my previous Springer and had ftf and slide not locking back. I'm almost going to purchase a Wilson slide lock so I can run those Wilson's without an issue. I know quite a few people that have done that and I'm probably next in line.
I'm going to drop about 300 rds Saturday so I will tell you how the Wilson's work & the factory'sGlocku said:I looked on their as well and Hilton is praising those CMC Powermags I ran those in my previous Springer and had ftf and slide not locking back.

Cool beans brother. I'm sure those factory mags will run, all of mine have I just want a couple dead reliable 8 rounders.I'm going to drop about 300 rds Saturday so I will tell you how the Wilson's work & the factory's

You are smart like me, but I went the RO/GI waykodiak said:What a difference, super easy takedown now with no tools.
Yeah it makes life a lot easier.Blaze said:You are smart like me, but I went the RO/GI way
I was researching that too, but nobody I could find made a "finished" reverse plug with a closed end for a TRP with bull barrel...and Im sure as hell not going to drop a standard barrel in there with a barrel bushing just to get rid of the FLGR. Monetarily that just made zero sense to me.
10-8 Performance has a prototype reverse plug specifically for the TRP Operator that is still in development. Once that comes out I may pick one up and revisit it. I'll probably get it anyway just to have in the kit bag....but this Dawson product is pretty damn sweet. Takedown is a snap now.
That's awesome... I bet I know what is your favorite gun now lol ..kodiak said:Yeah it makes life a lot easier.

I posted my Kimber Tactical Ultra II previously but just added this Colt Government Model to the fold yesterday. It's been on my bucket list for a while now. I guess I'm showing my age but this is what I grew up seeing, my Father shot in competition, and carried when he was leading a squad patrolling the west end of Louisville during the race riots of the 1960's. I wanted the original look and feel. I know I have one but I have never cared for the "beaver tail" that most manufacturer's use on their clones.
