The pair of Wilson Combat 47D eight rounders works better than the factory Remingtons that came with mine.

They work great for 185gr, but for 230 gr, you want an actual 8 round mag like the ETM's, or the ETM-V's, simply due to spring tension.
No problem at all with Sellier & Bellot, .45 ACP, FMJ, 230 Grain.
I believe that Check Mate makes the mags for Sig.I have several Sig 1911 mags and they all are great
Operator error.All three of mine have had issues develop with 230gr. After a while they stop consistently locking back.
My friend had the same issues with 2 others.
They are ok with 185gr. If you shoot 230, get ETM or ETM-V's
Wlison and CMC.
Avoid wilson 47D's unless you are using 185gr ammo exclusively

Dude, been shooting 1911s for 17 years. Multiple shooting schools, thousands of rounds, only 47D mags. You are the only person I have every read about having issues with 47DsNot for me. Just failures to lock back on last round.
A quick google shows MANY people having issues with 47d's
Not a shock, it's 8 rounds in a 7 round mag body.
You want to know why you don't see as many people complaining about the ETMs or the ETMVs, or the 7 round wilson mags? Because in order to make room for that extra round, you need a weaker spring, and a weaker spring won't work well.
The slide stop has plenty of engagement on the follower, and of all my mags, even the crappy gun show 10$ specials, these are the only ones that have issues.
I have a few conversion sets that make them 7 rounders. I'll bet they will work fine after that

That's unfortunate for y'all.I'm clearly not alone.
That's unfortunate for y'all.
99.8% (+/- .1%)of the owners have no issues.Man, i couldnt imagine having this attitude. "Huh huh your stuff doesn't work, sucks for you!"
Shit like this is why gun people hate each other.
But its not a big deal, wilson makes better mags than the 47D.

I hate no one, it is unfortunate you feel that way.
Your poor experience is unfortunate.
Have you tried addressing the issue with the MFG?
If your hands are large enough you can grip an FNX-45T while stumbling into the 21st century.Is there any other?
