Are Novak mags any good? Or should I just go with Wilson. I have a Colt XSE want to stock up on some mags.

Wilson 8 rounders are the heat.

I have 5 CMC Shooting Stars and 2 Novaks. I prefer the CMC Shooting Stars but the Novaks haven't given me any trouble.

Then again, I've only had them for a few days.

Yes to Wilson, No to Novak mags (for now)

Wilson 8 rnd for 5" guns

Wilson 7 rng mags for <5" guns for that extra bit of reliability

I have been shooting Wilson Magazines since 1990. Prior to that the rage was original Colt or Pachmayr. I also shoot the Chip McCormick magazines. I can tell you this, I prefer the Wilson Magazines, but I had no magazines problems ever EXCEPT after much use, a Pachmayr would drop it's welded floor plate and come apart. If sent back to Pachmayr, they would send you a brand new magazine.

Wilson 47Ds mags are the "gold standard" for 5" .45ACP 1911s. They are also guaranteed for life, but I have never had the occasion to send one back.

+1 for the Wilson 47d.
