I was going to recommend Checkmate mags with Tripp Research Upgrade kits for $23.45 each shipped but the place that I purchased them from shut down their web store since the owner/operator accepted a position in the US Army in Korea. They were the best for the $$$ that I found.

I used to be big on the Tripp mags but then my Fusion and Heritage didn't like them. All of my 1911s love my Tripp upgraded Checkmate mags (got 10 of them now).

Are the Check Mate w/Tripp Upgrade mags still made?

The gentleman that I purchased them from put them together using Checkmate bodies and Tripp internals. It was the only place I'd seen them.

I like the Metalform mags with the round metal followers. I think they have the best follower design out there. Their follower stacks the rounds straight all the way like Tripps and Wilsons but it doesn't use any plastic. They also have a good metal on metal slide stop engagement. Tripp eventually figured it out with the 'hybrid' followers, I'm not sure about Wilson? Anyone know if the new Wilson mags have metal where the follower pushes up the slide stop?

You can find great deals on Metalform too!

I have had good luck with Tripps 7,8, 10 round. Metalforms, ACT, McCormick, most of my Dan Wessons came with checkmates. I am not a big Wilson Combat fanboy, so it pains me to say I carry Wilson 47D's. I am lucky I guess I have never really had any mag problems to speak of. One note on Tripp mags, they only make flat base mags in 7 rounds.
