Curious on some feedback from people who have given the new 8 round Wilson Combat Elite Tactical Magazines a try. I've got several with over a thousand rounds through them (all loaded with 8 rounds) and have yet to have a single FTF. Any others experiencing the same level of reliability in their 1911s as it appears to be a great mag. I just switched over to these magazines for carry purposes. They seat very easily and are easier to load as well than a traditional 7 round 1911 magazine. It's nice to have an 8 rounder with reliability and nine rounds of 45 ACP to protect you.
Here's a video clip on the ETM......... http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/NewsletterArchive.aspx?x=v&p=0&t=1&i=827
Michael, how are you finding your ETMs? I know your initial report was quite satisfactory.

Anybody???

I put a bunch of rounds through ones at Wilson's when we were up there, and I have shifted the ETM's I got into the "take it to the range bag." To date, they've worked exactly as billed in half-a-dozen 1911s, from the Rock Island cheapie to the C&S full-house custom. In truth this hellish December has put a crimp in my range time. I've talked to several "gunnies" about them, and all report 100% percent.
My intent is to replace my current .45 1911 magazine "stash" to all new ETMs by the end of 2008...

Hey that's great Michael...thanks so much. I have yet to experience a single issue with three of the ETMs that I have purchased, so my intent is the same as yours as far as using these exclusively and building up to about a dozen of these mags. I've already changed over to the ETMs for carry in my Nighthawk. I appreciate your input and have a wonderful New Year...looking forward to your new Shooting Gallery episodes in 2008.
Regards

Michael-
Ok here is the question for me. I have a Wilson Combat 40% off certificate I won at an IDPA match in 2004. I have about 20 Wilson 8 round magazines that I would need to replace. Do I cash this in now or wait a few months to see if they need to make changes?

Nice... I want some.

Well, still going strong with the my Wilson ETMs and still not one hiccup. Anyone else having similar experiences or any problems to report. Really a great magazine so far.

My original Wilsons (20+ years old) converted to 8 rounders work every time. Why spend the money when I don't have to?

I bought two of them and they are both difficult to get seated in the well. Anybody have similar story ? Ron
