"Check-Mate" 1911 magazines ...

[TraCoun]

These are advertised in the Dillon Blue Press.

Does anyone know anything about them or have any experience with them?

Thanx,
TraCoun

I've only used the Wilson 37d's. Those look as expensive as the Wilson's (although since I buy wholesale I sometimes forget what the retail prices are). Too bad there is a 100 magazine minimum for becoming a dealer or I would sign up and try them.

Thanks a bunch, it's a help!

Good stuff.

You might want to give some consideration to your ammunition and platform choice.

Magazine feed lips have been tweeked by just about everyone and their cousin's third spouse and next door neighbors dog groomer to release the loaded round sooner or later in the feed cycle. Check Mate offers a 'hybrid' feed lip profile. Seems to work well with ball and SWC bullet designs. Colt uses that same profile.

CheckMate offers that same profile, a spiffier mag spring, as well as a follower that isn't likely to allow a loaded round to nose dive into an aluminum frame...should your pistola have a frame made of soft aluminum.

The CheckMate magazine, spiffier spring, hybrid feed lips, and 'dimpled' follower might be as utilitariain as the 300ci in line Ford or the 350 short block Chevy.

Again, good stuff but they won't answer the doorbell or make scratch biscuits.
