Members particle Posted September 4, 2012 Members Report Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Like the title says, I need to know if a standard 1911 .45ACP magazine will work when forming a Springfield XDs mag pouch. I have an order for one that's waiting on me to buy a pair of magazines for forming, but I'd rather not buy them if I don't have to. Edited September 4, 2012 by particle Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted September 4, 2012 Members Report Posted September 4, 2012 1911 mag width: 0.540" 1911 mag depth: 1.374" 1911 mag length: 4.572" XD-S mag width: 0.555" XD-S mag depth: 1.380" XD-S mag length: 3.545" Length measurements taken along the spine of the mag, from top of feed lips to baseplate. 1911 mag used for measurements is a Chim McCormick 8 round Power Mag. Short story, yes, but watch the length. Personally, I wouldnt go any deeper than the 5 hole on a 1911 mag. Hope this helps! Quote
Members particle Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2012 Awesome - thanks! Quote
Members dickf Posted September 5, 2012 Members Report Posted September 5, 2012 Damn! Now that's service! Quote
KAYAK45 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Hey Eric. With shooters info you can now cut a cheap wood block/two and not have to buy a real mag. Nice eh?? I really love this place! Kevin Quote
IngleGunLeather Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Are the angle of the spines the same? Just wondering. Or would that even matter? Edited September 5, 2012 by CountryTrash Quote
Members Shooter McGavin Posted September 5, 2012 Members Report Posted September 5, 2012 Theyre close enough that with a little diamond file work you can make a 1911 mag function in the XD-S. Quote
