Wilson Combat Vs. Chip McCormick
We’ve just gotten another restock of the Wilson Combat 1911 ETM magazines due to customer demands. I still don’t think there is that much of a difference between these magazines and the standard Wilson Combat magazines. Wilson Combat magazines and Chip McCormick magazines are pretty much the staple of 1911 fanatics and you really can’t go wrong with them unless you already have a finicky 1911. If you want a combat reliable firearm watch out for some of the high prices accuracy guns, they are not GI combat worthy and sometimes people want too much in a firearm and there really are tradeoffs.
Most of our customer base tell us that differences between the Wilson Combat 8rd magazines and Chip McCormick power mags are minimal. Wilson Combat magazines seem to help feed non-round nose bullets like hollow points and semi-wad cutters. Chip McCormick magazines are almost $10 a magazine less than the Wilson Combat ETM magazine so you really have to balance the value of upgrading to the ETM. The ETM magazines do feel a little thicker and also have numbers on the bottom for competitive shooters, but for $10 more?
