Which ones are the best for the price?

My girlfriend sold her Glock 17 and bought herself a Springfield Armory 1911a-1 .45acp for 400.00 with 2 clips. Aint she something.

She wants to know which 10rds for these model are the best. Shes asking also if they are high caps for it.

I cant tell cuz i have a PARA Ordnance p14 and these one came with 2 high caps already.

Please let me know which brand she should buy.
Thanks in advance

    I've had excellent luck with Chip McCormick 10 rounders. They have a black wrap-around things at the bottom of the mag. Never any jams through a Colt, Kimber or Springfield. Used them in competition as well with never a bobble. FMJ's or lead SWC's no problem..

    Sorry to interupt,but I learned something from your post I didnt know.About the Chip MCcormick 10RD mags fitting the Springfield 1911.
    Is there something you can buy to fill the space gap,where the mag hangs out.Is it akward?Ive been using the factory 8RD Mag.

    Thanks!!

    What Springfield are you using the double-stack P14 mags in?

    rugster
    the extra length is awkward to me and makes carry more difficult but do ok as spare mags in the mag pouch. Need extra firepower in the 1911, get a PO, BUL, Kimber, Caspian, etc double stack.

    I dont have a springfield p-14 doble stack.

    U misunderstood.

    My girlfriend....springfield
    me....PO p14 doble stack

    What i said its that i wasnt able to answer her question BECAUSE i have a doble stack 1911 and she have a single stack.

    I hope these clears the water.

    Springfield is offering both a single stack as well as a double stack version of their 1911A1 series guns. There are 10rd mags available for both. The double stack version of the Springfield does take Para Ordnance mags. The standard single stack version takes standard 1911A1 mags. The McCormick mags are some of the best 10 rounders out there. Springfield themselves offer one too, but it is made for them by McCormick, so the only difference is the markings on the extension at the bottom of the mag.
