Scrambler82; Any extra magazines you get need to have the spacer at the back and the same style floorplate your OEM magazines have. I got a "deal" on the 4 used MecGar 10-round mags and 2 OEM LSI 9mm mags when a buddy of mine had his barrel reamed for 38 Super. They are OK for the range but beyond that they are just this side of useless. The fiber optic front sight works best with the yellow or orange fiber. The blue is useless.

Eddie Money; My dad was a 1911 nut. During the late 60's to the late 80's he would sell one to finance buying another. He found fault with most and would change internal parts and springs while polishing other parts. It didn't matter if it was a Springfield Armory, Colt, Auto Ordnance, Kimber, or Dan Wesson Dad would find something he thought he could improve. I also learned that an Auto Ordinance 10mm would make you soak your hand in ice water after shooting a magazine.

1911's have improved over the years. Dad always told me that the basic Colt should be my first choice if I bought a 1911. I have a 2017 Colt Government model in 9mm. The Govt model comes with a skeletonized performance trigger, Novak fiber optic sights, and a competition barrel. It has been a solid performer. It was just under $800 out the door when I got it. If I had it to do over again I would probably go with the same model but in 38 Super and get a 9mm conversion package.
