Whew.... good 1911 mags are hard to come by. I've been going through mine and half are shot.

Now comes the fun part, finding good springs and followers to fix them....

Not much into guns as I once was many years ago. Keep a loaded 38 special behind my pillow and a 40 cal auto right under the bed. I have just too many rifles to list. However I need to take a pictures to show you guys a really cool pistol that belonged to my dad. It's a 4 barreled darringer. It's pretty cool.

COP 357? Have you fired it? My dad had a Calico M900. He sold it for a M1 Carbine with a folding stock. I wish he kept both.

As long as I knew my dad, he never fired it and I have never fired it as well. Kind of afraid to, to be honest.

It only shoots one barrel at a time, but is a handful in 140gr 38 special loads or any 357 loads. I kept mine loaded with 2 shot capsules and 2 HBWC mounted backwards (all 38 loads).

I had a COP (Compact Off-Duty Police) that was a stainless 4 barrel derringer in 38/357. It was a bitch to shoot in 357....

My brother in law has one.

Has a rotating firing pin.

Do you keep your mags loaded? I only keep a couple loaded and a few more with 4 rds. I bought a bunch from a gun show, had to nix them. Every one of them gave me a FTF.

I like the Wilson Combat mags for my 1911.

I do too. I started buying those when my old issue 45 mags started flaking out. I could fix some with new springs and followers, but I'm sure I have 3 or 4 that are just awful.

I have mags from just about everyone. I keep going back to the Wilson's.
