Hello forum;

OP didn't say whether modern 1911 or WWI, WWII, etc.

I have three MecGar 7 round mags for 1911/1911A1. I use them every time any of the guns come out for exercise.

That leaves the Ithaca (code letter L = Little), the GS = General Shaver for the Remington Rand, the original serial numbered mag for the Argentine, the C-R (Colt -Risdon) all safely tucked away. Those original mags are worth anywhere from $100 and up depending on the particular collector and of course condition, so to me, no use taking any unnecessary risks.

All Mec-Gars in any of the guns, at any time have been flawless and well worth the relatively few bucks paid. I have not bought any used, only the new ones. Also had Mec-Gar for the 1941 Luger, and an old Browning Buck Mark (slabside) that was an absolute bear to find any sort of replacement mag for.
