Construction and materials

This magazine is constructed from heat-treated blued steel for the body, giving it the surface hardness and corrosion resistance expected in defensive service. The follower lockplate and baseplate are molded from a proprietary DuPont Zytel based black polymer, which reduces wear on the follower and provides a positive interface with the pistol base. The spring is wound from Chromesilicon wire and heat-treated for strength and reliable spring-back under repeated use.

Why these features matter

Heat-treated blued steel body

Heat-treated steel resists deformation after repeated loading cycles and maintains consistent feed angles. For a 1911 platform, that structural integrity translates into fewer feeding issues under stress or after extensive range sessions.

Polymer follower lockplate and baseplate

The DuPont Zytel based parts reduce friction, shed carbon, and help prevent follower tilt — a common source of malfunctions. They also make field stripping for spring service straightforward.

Chromesilicon spring

Chromesilicon wire is specified for magazine springs where long-term tension retention matters. The heat-treated spring resists sag and keeps follower force consistent from the first round to the last.
