What capacity magazine do you prefer for practice

 

[D_Gunner]

I guess for practice everybody would want the highest capacity mags. Correct me I'm probably wrong.I just want an Idea im looking into buying more magazines and Im new to the 1911

What capacity magazine do you prefer for practice

I load ALL of mine to seven, because I have both 7 & 8 round versions.

No matter what several "experts" say, if you practice enough to become
proficient, you subconsciously count the number of rounds fired. If you
practice with a consistent number in the magazine, you know when to
reload, without having to go to slide lock. 8)

Only seven for me. I just can't stand the way the extended mags look, and don't trust the flush fitting eight round mags. Plus I agree with what Pat says, Ed

It doesn't matter to me. Depending on what I am doing I may fully load the magazine or not. I voted other.

 

[D_Gunner]

Maybe I will buy the high capacity magazines

I figure that Mr Browning was a much smarter gun designer than I am.
I also figure that is 1911 wasn't designed nilly-willy, so I have to also figure that it weren't by accident that the 1911 mag ended-up holding 7 rounds.

You can take it from there.

I have 2 Ruger 7 round and 2 Ruger 8 round mags. I load them accordingly. So I voted "other". :mrgreen:
