Re: Educate me on 1911 Mags

Thanks, Alan -
I appreciate your help with me understand it correctly. And of course, you can damage a magazine
that is too long by seating it too forcefully, makes perfect sense.

Re: Educate me on 1911 Mags

QUOTE: A "Full Size" (Govt.) 7 or 8 round mag will not fit in a Officer's 1911.....no matter how much you jam it.......LOL

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!
Bryan
