Ok, 1911 lovers, I got this in the Guns America email this week. Ed Brown Products is running a special promotion where you can trade in your old, ****** 1911 mags in on brand new Ed Brown mags. Just send them your old mags and you can get new stainless mags for $10 each or black nitride mags for $15 each. This is roughly half price. 

I know that many of us have accumulated cheap, unreliable mags over the years. Also some have just worn out, bent or been damaged. Here's a chance to put 'em to good use. I got to digging around in my junk and came up with 14 unmarked, no name, worn out old mags of questionable quality that I have somehow acquired over my 40+ years of being a 1911 fan. 

Honestly, I've never used the Ed Brown Mags as I prefer Wilson. But they do have an excellent reputation and they gotta be better than this no name junk taking up space here. This is a good deal. I'm going for it. 

DETAILS HERE 

Changed out about twenty old junky magazines for new ones through this offer. It is a win win situation.

7rd or 8rd? Is there a time limit on this promotion? I need to dig into my stash!

They've been doing it for years and hopefully continue to do so. I've swapped out some junk for quality over time with this. Hope to do it again soon.

Ed Brown magazines are just EB marked Checkmate magazines. I believe the trade in offer has been offered since before I was old enough to buy a handgun. They are pretty good mags. If your not trading in four mags or more you are just as well off buying new ED Brown mags and trying to spend more than $100 to get free shipping and selling your **** mags in EBay for a few bucks each. You have to pay the shipping with the trade in offer both ways so 3 or less you pretty much just give them mags.

But you can get magazines in 9 mil, 38 Super, and 10mm. Which I also did. They are nine round magazines, except maybe the ten mils are only eight. I can not remember right now.

According to the order form you can get 7 or 8 round standard .45acp, Officers/Compact .45, 9mm, 10mm and 38 Super.
I plan to get a mix of stainless and black nitride mostly in .45 but a few .38 Super.
