Ed Brown 1911 .45 ACP 8-Round Steel Magazine with Anti-Friction Finish

Upgrade your 1911 with the Ed Brown 8-Round .45 ACP Magazine — engineered for those who demand nothing less than absolute reliability from their carry or competition pistol. Built on the proven foundation of the classic 7-round 1911 magazine design, Ed Brown extended the tube and wrapped a super-tough, non-slip base pad around the bottom to properly seat that critical 8th round without compromising the ultra-reliable follower geometry that has defined 1911 performance for over a century.

Key features include a steel follower, heavy-duty spring, and a proprietary dry-finish process applied to both the tube and follower that dramatically reduces friction — making loading and chambering smoother and more consistent even in adverse conditions. The slick finish repels dirt and burnt powder residue, helping the magazine stay clean and functional through extended range sessions or defensive use.

The integral base pad removes easily for field-strip cleaning and disassembly, and its oversized profile provides a positive, no-slip grip for emergency reloads under any conditions. A clever numbered template system on the base pad bottom — styled like digital clock digits — lets you label and track individual magazines from 0 to 99, an invaluable feature for competitive shooters and serious collectors managing multiple mags.

Whether you’re running a duty 1911, a custom carry build, or a competition platform chambered in .45 ACP, the Ed Brown 8-Round Magazine delivers the precision craftsmanship and enhanced capacity you need. Order yours today at VanTon Arms and experience the difference that quality engineering makes.
