After shooting my SA Loaded, I pinpointed the last round jams due to the magazines. Anyways, Im looking at replacing them with new magazines, but not sure what to get and I look at the 1911 forum for advice. Should I get Wilson, McCormick, Ed Brown mags? Also someone posted about the Wilson base pads being real cheap plastic (think Jim posted that or was it Larry?) that wears bad.

Bufford5,

I totally ignored Larry's advice and ordered CMC 8 round power mags for my SA. (Actually I ordered them before Larry posted his thorough review) Anyway, the two I bought have functioned flawlessly, and no more last round "stovepipe" with the head of the spent casing stuck between the feed lips.

I use the McCormick 8 round power mags in am my 45's. I also have a couple dozen Shooting Star mags that work great. Nuff said.

The AF Shooting Team is using CMC 10 rounders in our single stacks. No complaints here.

McCormick's and Wilson's have both worked equally well for me in several pistols.

I have used Wilson Combat 8 Rd (primarily), Shooting Star 8 Rd, Factory Colt 7 Rd, and the factory Kimber mag all without a hitch. Used in a BCP Kimber Fed and Colt "Combat Elite."

I'd try a new follower and save the original magazine(s). Wilson and CM mags are both good, with my nod going to the Wilson mags.

Several years of ejecting partially loaded mags have yet to make any difference to the "cheap plastic" base pads on these mags.

I agree with getting Wilson mags. I did experience some plastic basepads cracking...go with the metal.
