I have a like both Wilson and Tripp Research 8 round mags.
Me too. Replaced the Wilson springs when they needed it, Tripp not yet. They both work great, but are NOT cheap mags.
I have a like both Wilson and Tripp Research 8 round mags.
For years and years I stuck strictly w/ 7rd . The issue is that with truely flush fitting 8rd has to have a shortened follower to fit the last round. They were then inconsistant in their angle wether loaded with all 8 or not.
The new and improved 8rd that look like they have about .25 basepads , that actually have the magtube the whole length are a different story . They can run a 7rd style follower , and also fit 8th rd.
Several mfgs make quality mag bodies. I feel the Virgil Tripp followers are the * Most better'er *. I retrofit Tripp followers into my P90 mags ( different body , same followers as 1911) .
FWIW , I had always been reasonably content w/ 7rd anyway , valueing 100% reliability over an 8th rd.
