Wilson Combat ETM Vickers Duty 8 Round .45 ACP 1911 Detachable Magazine, Stainless Steel - 800

Our outstanding ETM magazine has been redesigned from the ground up with input from firearms expert Larry Vickers to include a solid tube construction, redesigned basepad, follower sand cuts for smoother operation in harsh environments and a molded-in last round follower detent to absolutely prevent last round feed failures. This mag has been designed as the last word in military or law enforcement duty magazines for the 1911 platform pistol. The Vickers Duty Mag has a completely sealed construction with rear witness hole that nearly eliminates lip spreading and ingress points for sand and debris. The redesigned follower has sand cuts to reduce friction when dirty or heavily fouled and the new last round detent will solve last round reliability issues in the 1911 design. The baseplate of the Duty mag is uniquely shaped and easy to grab under stress. It is weighted to drop free in any field conditions. The heat-treated MAX flatwire construction never gets stressed or over-compressed like a conventional spring and is guaranteed to never require replacement even after high round counts or daily, extreme duty use. Maximum strength-up to 25% stronger than standard 1911 mag springs for superior reliability with defensive and +P loads and more positive slide lockback . Maximum longevity MAX flatwire spring will never lose optimum feeding tension as long as you own the magazine -guaranteed. Extensively tested by the Wilson Combat Shooting Team and testfire crew. Maximum corrosion resistance-heat treated stainless MAX spring won't corrode in high humidity or marine environments-a leading cause of service pistol spring fatigue.Features:Increases reliability in all 1911 pistolsAircraft grade certified stainless steel tube resists corrosionThe ETM has the strongest magazine tube yet developed, virtually eliminating feed lip cracking, tube spread and cracking and general fatigue0.025 inches tube walls - thickest in the industryRefined radius for each bend in the tube to take advantage of the strength in the stainless steelProprietary, custom designed welding processProprietary multi-step tumbling and finishing process provides smooth follower operation and Insertion into the WeaponObservation slots moved to the rear of the tube, located exactly where they need to be to maintain the structural integrityInnovative follower design with its extended skirt ensures stability in operation and minimizes creep from the tube when the magazine is emptyFiber-fill nylon self-lubricating follower provides smooth round feedingPositive Slide-Lock After the Last Round has been FiredSpace-age stainless steel spring wire is phenomenal for spring lifeThe ETM seats and locks in the weapon with the slide downRemovable base pad for easy maintenance and versatility with different base pad optionsThe quality control behind the ETM promises a lifetime of smooth and reliable operationNo-risk service policy - if it breaks from normal use, we replace it
