Hello Everyone,
Several years ago I was told by an employee of Wolff Springs that the only place you could get replacement springs for the old Wilson-Rogers #47 7-shot .45 ACP magazines for the full sized 1911 was from Wilson Combat itself. So for years I have been rotating my springs by orders Wilson's replacements springs wishing I could order them from other companies like Metalform who sold them for less.
Well I just received my latest batch of springs from Wilson yesterday and a 2003 catalog came with them. Looking at the magazine section of the catalog I spied the spring kits I had ordered this time with the follower included. In their description it says that the kit can be used on Wilson, Metalform, and Colt magazines!!
Does this mean that regular springs from Metalform or Colt could be used in place of Wilson's in the original 7-shot magazine?
If yes, do the Metalform and Colt springs give a similar service life when used in the Wilson magazines?
Thanks for your input.
