[Endorphin Rush]

I've been using Wilson mags for years and have experienced absolutely no problems with them. I would recommend them. I've also used the Wilson 20 round mags recently and have had no problems with them as well.

I would say get the mags with metal base plates unless he's got an extended mag well on his 1911, in which case has he may need the plasted extended base plate mags.

I received my Wilson 8 rounders with my 1911, so I can't tell you what they cost off hand. I defer to Sacamuelas' post on that one.

However, I did purchase my Wilson 20 rounders last year for $30 a piece. Though, that may have been a case of being at the right place at the right time.

McCormicks are also supposed to work well, but I've got no experience with them.

When he's ready to replace the mag springs, get him the ones made by Wolff.
