Re: My new Ruger 1911
Thanks I love the guns, no ftf or fte on mine either.. I traded a gun in on these I bought just 3 weeks ago. It was Thompson custom 1911 will all the the goodies on it, checkering etc.. only came with one mag.. Every 3rd to 5th round would not feed and I shot over 300 rounds at an indoor range. I took it back to the place I bought it from had them inspect it found no problems. I researched this gun for a day on all the 1911 forums I could not find a bad review. I emailed Thompson all the reply said was they were sorry.. and sent a RMA What a shame it was a nice looking gun, I traded it in on my Ruger.. happy camper now

Re: My new Ruger 1911
Thanks they are shooters for sure. They look good together also.. I bought the Ruger case for them not quite big enough for all the mags I got.
I am using one Chip McCormick 8 round mag seems to be working good no problems yet in either 45. After the Thompson disaster I had I will never make that mistake again.

Re: My new Ruger 1911
I will check those mags out, thanks for the info.I am taking my grandson to the range today he is 15 I'm going to let him shoot these 45's for the first time.
he has never shot a 1911 but has shot my SA xdm 5" 45 I am sure he is going to love 1911's after today..

Re: My new Ruger 1911
Most of my mags are Wilson combat, but I also use Chip McCormicks and the ones manufactured by Brownells. All work just fine, but I use the Wilsons exclusively in my carry guns.patterson wrote:Ive used both the CMC Pwermags and Tripp Cobra mags in my SR1911 with no issuesGunner4640 wrote:Thanks they are shooters for sure.
