No issues with the EB mags.
They come sans baseplate, but include a short and tall pad, and screws for each.

I've run them in 9mm 1911s for years. The springs are a little soft but they always worked.Originally Posted by HeavyDuty

At the price of the Mec-Gars, it’s worth a try. Two loadouts ordered. Thanks!

The 9mm Mec-Gars are here, they are bulk packed but brand new. One issue I didn’t expect - they are not drilled for base pads. Has anyone seen drilling or center punching jigs? I had a drilling jig many years ago, but it’s probably long gone.
I may just go with glue ons.

I think those came with the Pachmayr pads, not sure if the still do.

There’s one on eBay right now, but glue on is starting to appeal. I remember the hell of trying to cleanly drill for the pads.

I drilled a few years a go and used self tapping screws, pretty sure the method I used was double faced tape on the pad and used the holes as a guide.

Off the original topic, and not trying to start a drift, but has anyone had their slide milled to accept an RMR on a 1911?

Need pads Ken?
Pm me.

I've never owned a 9mm 1911 but I had a Colt 38 Super that ran just fine without any help. As far as 1911's go, I've had four Colts and never had any issues with any of them. I only have one I shoot anymore (older Gold Cup Trophy) that has worked flawlessly after about 5K rounds. Probably lucky.
If I were to buy a new one I would just spend the bucks for semi-custom like a Wilson or Baer. I think production 1911's can be problematic but I've never experienced that with Colt and ball ammo. That isn't what most people will use exclusively however. I've never carried a 1911 except for short hikes in the desert, OC in a shoulder holster. I had that as a trailer/camp pistol one year when we spent the winter in AZ. I moved to a compact DA/SA 9mm for carry so now a 1911 is just a range pistol.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
