Wilson mags in a Kimber?

[Itchyfinger]

Well, I FINALLY pulled the trigger and bought 3 brand new Wilson 47oxc mags for my Kimber Stainless Ultra Raptor, and they FREAKING FAIL TO FEED! ALL 3! Looks like the mage is about a half a bullet width too short to feed the round into the chamber. Did I do something wrong? Is it just me? I use Wilsons in my full size 1911's and they all (about 12 of them) function flawlessly.

Anybody have any feedback? Can anyone advise me on some 7 stainless 7 rounders that WILL work?

Contact Wilson, they'll probably have some suggestions. Did you buy direct from them?

Bought offline, but I'll call them Monday. I'm VERY bummed out. I was gonna tear some targets up tomorrow, now I'm kinda unmotivated about it.

Oh that's easy, you just need to get a Wilson 1911 to go with the Wilson mags! Problem solved.

ha, an expensive solution to a relatively cheap problem.

I don't guess I've seen their 47oxc's... are they just a cut down 47d?

Speaking of Wilson mags Stan..... ETA yet?

Sorry guys, I should proof read. They are 47DOX mags.

Not that I know too much but D is for the standard baseplate (guns without extended magwell) and DE is the longer for magwells. The OX is officer and compact soooo... DOX should be no magwell flair and an officer/compact. I have a magwell on my CDP so I just use the standard full size Ds so I can snap them in tight and get the extra ammo. Hope my nonsense helped....

Where does it hang up?

Buy the Kimber mags. I purchased a Wilson mag since they are claimed to be the best in my Ultra Carry II it hangs a round or 2 every mag! My Kimber mag has never FTF. They may be great in some 1911's but my Kimber they're crap.
