1911 7 round magazines - The Shooters Apprentice - 11-20-2024

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole today at the gun bench since it was -32 out today. One of the things I did was gather up all of my 1911 mags and check them over, clean them and replace a few springs.

I've got a bunch of mostly new 7 round mags that I never use since I have quite a few 8 rounders. I like the 8 round flush fit mags and I see that Wilson and a few others have kits to change the spring and follower to make the GI style mags 8 round.

Trying to decide if its worth the trouble, or just throw all of the 7 rounders back in a box under the bench to collect dust
