I’ve got an SR1911 Commander size that came with 7-round mags. I’ve since learned that it does not get along with the single after market (non-Ruger stamped) mag it also came with, so I’d like to pick up another one or a dozen.
Rookie 1911 owner question: I see Ruger makes 8-round mags. Will these work in my Commander? The 7-round Commander mags specifically say “not for use in officer style pistols” but the 8-rounders say nothing. It looks like the 8-round mags also have a bit more of a floor plate so I guess they’d stick out a few more millimeters than the 7 (7 sits flush).
What say you 1911 gurus?
