Are you looking for high quality 1911 handgun magazines?
I got a chance to test out these two different models of Ed Brown Products magazines and here is how well they performed.
For this review I chose a previously reviewed TISAS DUTY SSR 1911 pistol. This full sized handgun is a perfect match for the Ed Brown 8-PACK magazines that hold, you guessed it, 8 rounds each.
Let’s take a look at what Ed Brown Products have to say about their stainless steel model “848” magazine:
Engineered as a true 8 round magazine, this magazine has all the features of the original 7 round magazine that has proven itself over the last century. Features that you know it should have, like a steel follower, heavy duty spring, and super-tough base pad. The magazine tube has been lengthened and the base pad wraps around securely, to properly accommodate the 8th round while keeping the original ultra-reliable follower design. The integral base pad easily removes for disassembly and cleaning of the magazine. A special finish process makes this magazine tube and follower very slick, while staying dry to repel dirt and burnt powder. This makes it super easy to load and insert in the gun by eliminating any extra friction against the follower. The non-slip, oversized base pad allows for a secure grip no matter what the conditions. The 88 blank number templates on the bottom allows you to easily number and track usage of your mags from 0 up to 99 if you desire (think digital numbers on a standard alarm clock). If you want the most reliable, highest quality 8 round magazine you can buy, look no further!
The other Ed Brown 8-PACK Magazine has a Black Nitride Finish over the stainless steel tube. Let’s take a closer look at what this magazine offers:

It was a rainy late February day when I tested out the Ed Brown Products 1911 Magazines. At 34 degrees and a steady rain, I fired quickly for testing the mags and not too worried about accuracy. Mag after mag they ran flawlessly. Impressed? You bet I am but I am not surprised by the positive outcome. With Ed Brown Products high quality is assured!
