I think the finest mags out there are the Tripp Cobra mags. Another one I like are the Mec gar mags, you can get really nice aluminum base plates you can coat the same color as the gun. But those and wilsons and Cmc mags are all really good mags for the 1911.

Springfield makes their own 8rd SS mags.
They work well.

The ones that work in your pistol.

47 & 47Ds

Buy one magazine and test fire it in your gun.  If that particular brand works, then you can buy more of them.

That.

I'd say Tripp are the best made mags; but they've been kind of hit or miss with feeding in my 1911. The Wilson 47Ds haven't failed yet.

I was a big Tripp fan, but lately have been using CM Powermags. I still use an occasional 47D though.

If I was picking one, I'd go with Tripp Cobra mags.

I have never used any Tripp mags so I can't say about them but for aftermarket mags, I prefer Wilson 47D and 500C 8 round mags and also CMC Match 8rd mags.

I meant to add that I have 2 Springfields, 2 Colts, and 1 Kimber. The above mags work flawlessly in all 5 pistols.
