Thanks to a unique multi-step tumble and finishing process, the Wilson Combat® 1911 Elite Tactical 9mm 9-Round Magazine with Pad, made of precisely machined stainless steel, provides greater durability and very smooth performance. Steel feed lips, a high-tensile steel spring, and a self-lubricating nylon follower assure dependable feeding performance. Numbered observation slots that were machined at the factory make it simple to visually count the rounds. The replaceable polymer cushion also provides long-lasting corrosion and stress resistance.
