I want to buy additional magazines for my Kimber. I would appreciate recommendations

It's a Ruger SR1911 Commander and I want to know what are the best made magazines for this gun?
Thanks, -Otter[img][/img]
you cant go wrong with Wilson's , they are one of the best.
I thought that's what I had heard. So they are better than Kimber?
Best
EDIT 1
They are at the head of the class for reliability. I know a guy who went to a class at Black Water, and over three days, fired 4000 rounds thru his Wilson Super Grade, 4" barrel, using 8 different magazines...all Wilson also. He had the only gun in the entire class that did not have a stoppage...that included GLOCK.

The Wilson's are the very BEST. They smoke anything else...including the Kimber magazines. Once you use the Wilsons, you will archive your Kimber's.

In what way are they better? For example easier to load, more reliable etc.
Wilson's are a good mag,but I have had them wear on the slide hold-open step. I prefer McCormicks Power Mags.
Ditto. Like Wilson's...prefer Mccormicks. Don't think you can go wrong with either as it is just preference. I actually have not had a problem with either over the years.
However, avoid promag - mine required 3 hands to remove from the gun once it was empty. And believe it or not, a Kimber branded mag gave jams every few rounds in several 1911s we tried it in.
