When reliability is the baseline for defensive gear, magazine choice is as important as the firearm itself. A well-engineered magazine reduces malfunctions, extends service intervals, and performs predictably in adverse conditions — exactly what professionals and serious owners need from a spare or primary magazine.

CHIP MCCORMICK CUSTOM 1911 POWER MAG

The Power Mags are lean and sleek yet extraheavyduty, engineered to increase reliability and service life in real-world use. This magazine uses a unique all steel follower design that yields the lowest possible bearing surface — a critical advantage when ongoing cleaning and maintenance are limited. That follower also doubles as a spring component, allowing the Rocket wire spring coils to be the largest possible for consistent feeding under stress. Price is $40.95, offering a performance-focused upgrade without premium markup. Shop this product

Durability and design that matter

The all-steel follower reduces friction and wear that polymer followers can suffer in contaminated environments. By minimizing bearing surface, the design keeps rounds aligned and moving smoothly even when grit, carbon, or moisture is present. The Power Mag’s lean profile maintains concealment and holster compatibility for 1911 platforms while adding robust service life for range use or duty carry.

Spring system advantages

Because the follower acts as a spring element, Rocket wire coils can be made larger. Larger coils mean slower fatigue over time and steadier spring pressure across the magazine stack. The result is consistent feeding from the first round to the last — a small detail that has outsized impact on reliability in defensive scenarios. View product details and pricing
