Will a Colt 1911 magazine function properly in a Smith 1911?

Any seven, eight or ten round mag for a Govt model or Commander will work in the Smith 1911 so you should be good to go.

Thanks! I thought that that should be the case but you never know.

'Yes'
Any mag intended for the size 1911 you have should work.
Of course if it's not a good quality mag there may be some problems and then again some 1911's just don't like some magazines.

I use Wilson COmbat ETM mags for my
S&W 1911. THe mags that came with it have
a follower that didn't operate reliably
when i tried the stock mag. THe follower
is just over half length, the forward part
isn't there or at least level with the rear
part of the follower. I had the last round
more than once, not feeding - I think the rear
part of the cartridge, along with the spring
being almost fully extended and less strength
allowed the rear of the cartridge to fall into
the forward 'hole' ? Anyway, if I were to use the stock mag I'd replace the follower with one from WIlson Combat or Chip McCormick.
