Materials and construction

Carbon steel tubing gives the MEC-GAR COLT the structural strength expected of modern OEM-quality magazines while the blued finish resists corrosion and maintains a low-profile look. The polymer follower and buttplate reduce friction and help ensure smooth stack transition under varied shooting conditions. For a firearms category product intended for everyday carry or range use, those choices strike a practical balance between longevity and cost.

Why the single-stack design matters

Flush-fit single-stack magazines maintain the slim grip geometry that defines many 1911 shooters’ preference. The 10-round capacity preserves the classic silhouette and allows full hand purchase on standard-size 1911 frames. If you want a magazine that behaves like factory equipment, this configuration is ideal.

Fit, reliability, and price

MEC-GAR is a reputable manufacturer known for producing replacement magazines compatible with a wide range of 1911 models. This particular item lists at $19.79, making it an affordable spare or backup magazine for defensive use or training. Because there’s no caliber listed on the product sheet, confirm compatibility with your specific 1911 chambering before purchase—most buyers pair this style with common 1911 calibers.

For those maintaining a practical kit, keeping multiple magazines with matching followers and finish reduces feeding variables and simplifies cleaning. View product details and pricing on our shop to confirm fit and availability. View product details and pricing
