Irish-Pat Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 i bought these two Colt magazines from a widow that had already sold her husband’s guns. they are new and i thought they would work in my full size 1911. well now that I have finally tried them they are too short for my 45 automatic. they are new as far as I can tell. They are Colt manufacture. one hold 7 easy they other one keeps popping out number 7. How about $50 shipped for both. Irish ☘️ Pat i am only selling the two short mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish-Pat Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 after more research I believe that they are Colt Defender 6 round magazines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Officers model is shorter as well. My full size 1911 mags measure 4 5/8" from the highest point on top straight down to the bottom of the base plate and my Officers model mags measure 4 1/8". A full 1/2" difference.

Irish-Pat Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 i just saw that too. I sure don’t need these if anyone is interested. I guess i could saw off the bottom of the grip on my 1911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
