Colt 1991a1 Question
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2015 4:12 pm
My mom just bought a Colt 1991a1 1911, it is a 5+1. My question is will a 7+1 fit in that pistol? Or any other mag?

That's a government-size pistol and should take full size 7 or 8 round mags. Who told you it only holds 5 + 1?gguess66 wrote:LSUTiger wrote:Is it the compact (officer model)?

It says all the 9mm & .38 Super guns have a magazine capacity of 9 rounds. The .45 pistols have a 7 round capacity.
Sorry for the interruption, but, in my world this part deserves a standing ovation. Sexist? I'll get over it.gguess66 wrote:My mom just bought a Colt 1991a1 1911....

Bravo mom!
Ok I think I figured it out. The guy at the store said 5, but as look around the 7 mags have five wholes to see the rounds and that is what the guy was looking at...I think he was new. But I do think it is a seven round capacity.gguess66 wrote:I saw that as well...she purchased it at K-5 arms exchange.Pawpaw wrote:Something is definitely wrong here.
