A Officer's mag will not fit in a Govt. 1911.....no matter how much you jam it.......LOL

Of course it won't go fully in, but as it has no stop on the outside of the magazine like the modern 10 rounders, ensuring it is seated with too much force (palm of hand) will eventually damage the feed lips as Andy says.

I'm new to 1911s and don't consider myself an expert, but...
isn't this backwards?

Wouldn't the magazine just hang out the bottom of the magwell, but still work?

On the other hand, Officer's (shorter magazine) may not work in a full-sized 1911 because it is too short
to reach all the way to the breech? (is breech correct term here? some other term? --sorry)

Thanks!
