Good evening, all-
I've been looking for some time for some extra 7 round magazines for a couple of Kimber Stainless Ultra Carry II's that I've had for some time. Seems like they're not too easy to locate. Would anyone happen to know of a place to find something either by Kimber, another manufacturer (Colt?) or after market?
I'd sure appreciate any help!
Chris
Call Tripp Research, I "think" they make them in limited runs or special orders.
CDNN has these
Colt 1911 Officer/Defender .40 7rd Nickel Magazine Mecgar
Colt Officer/Defender .40 S&W 7rd Nickel Magazine, Factory
Colt Officer/Defender .40 7rd Blue Magazine Mecgar

Single stack .40 mags are pretty hard to come by.
The Tripp Research mags were the best I've come by, but they don't show the Officers sized mags on their website any more, I seem to recall there was another member that called them and they did a special order...
Metalform does make .40 mags in a 1911, but again I think it's all for full-size pistols.
The Kimber mags I had in .40 were garbage. I don't think they have any .40s in their line up anymore and the Kimber marked mags in .40 were always in short supply. The one good mag they have is the Tac-mag, and again that's not available in .40.
Kimber does have this product on their webpage:
http://store.kimberamerica.com/Produ...2/Default.aspx , but it's out of stock.
Any way, it's not what I would go with given that's it's twice the cost of the Mecgar and $10 more than a "Colt factory" mag @ CDNN.
