If you're talking about the ones for the 47 series mags, no, they slide on the mag body in a built in rail.

Aftermarket pads like Packmyr or CMC sells eith glue or screw on the bottom of fixed base mags like the standard COlt, or GI type.

Ranger, the question that was asked was somewhat different than your answer, but to answer your question, Full Size mags, and Officers mags are dimensionally the same on the base, but the critical difference is about 1/2" in length, with the Officers mags being shorter.

The wilson base pads that screw on will fit any single stack magazine for the 1911.

Correction: My non-Wilson mags have Ed Brown base pads on them. I would guess that Wilson sells the same thing. CM mags offer the exact same base pad with their mags.

The Ed Brown pack of six ($9, various sources, including Brownells, but not C.T.D.) is the best buy for screw-on base pads.

I put them on a Kimber factory mag, a Metalform, and a "generic" no-name, they fit them all perfectly. These mags came with holes already there, but I did thread them with a tap first ($2, Sears).

Any mag with holes already there should be the same.
