Sr1911 10mm question.

Can you load and use standard 1911 45acp mags loaded with 10mm? Will it function correctly?

Dunno, but I wouldn't think so.

I can load a 10mm in a 45acp mag. But don't know if it will feed correctly.

45acp is 11.25 mm

Delta elite mags are very different from standard colt mags. 10mm is longer and narrower than .45acp, so I seriously doubt it would work at all, let alone work well enough to use.

Okay, thanks

Ruger magazines are a different configuration externally and use a round follower. Haven't tried it but I suspect 10 mm ammo in a 45 mag 1st round might feed and fire but recoil will cause the rest of the rounds to pop/ bounce out of the magazine.

@highlander 5 that's what I was wondering too. Thanks.

I have two 10mm 1911's and both feed perfectly with Wilson Combat 47D 8 round magazines. I own a dozen of them, plus a half dozen Tripp Cobra 9 round 10mm mags.

I load nine rounds in each type. I suspect the higher feed angle from .45 ACP mags even improves feeding.

I just picked up a Ruger SR1911 10mm. It only came with 2 mags, but I also have a SR1911 in .45 and a bunch of mags, so I was wondering if I could use the 45 mags in a pinch. Hate to mix a 10mm loaded mag in with the 45s though or vise versa.

The Ruger 10mm mags look similar to 9mm or 38 super mags with a rib running the full length of the body. Now this is Ruger mags don't know about Tripp,Wilson and others.

I won't say they CAN'T work but I wouldn't trust them. 10mm mags by every manufacturer I've seen look completely different from their .45 offerings.

Picked up some mags for my SR 1911 10mm from this outfit and they are well built and work flawlessly.
Good price, too.
