Built from rugged stainless steel with an extended base pad, this 7-round .45 ACP magazine is ideal for concealed carry, duty use, and serious range work.
Compact Officer/Compact 1911 Magazine – Built for .45 ACP
This Shooting Star Officer’s magazine is purpose-built for compact 1911/Officer-size frames chambered in .45 ACP.
Whether you’re carrying an Officer or Compact 1911 for concealment, or running one as a backup gun, this mag gives you reliable .45 ACP performance in a compact footprint.
Stainless Steel Construction with Match-Grade Design
The M-MG-45CP7-P is part of Chip McCormick’s Match Grade / Shooting Star family—magazines known for improved geometry and premium materials.
Stainless steel body resists corrosion, dents, and hard use in carry or duty environments.
Improved body design allows for a longer magazine spring, which helps extend service life and maintain strong, consistent feeding tension over thousands of rounds.
Built to USGI-style fixed-base dimensions with modern upgrades to follower and feed lips for smoother, more reliable feeding of .45 ACP.
This makes the Shooting Star Officer’s mag an excellent option for shooters who want something better than a generic “budget” 1911 magazine.
Extended Base Pad for Control, Protection & Faster Reloads
Each magazine includes a baseplate pad (base pad), giving you both functional and ergonomic advantages:
Improved grip and control when seating the magazine under stress—easy to slap in with authority.
Extra surface area to help strip the mag out if it’s dirty or stuck.
Helps protect the magazine body when it hits the deck during reloads or drills.
For compact 1911s where grip length is shorter, the pad can also offer just a bit more purchase for the pinky, depending on your hand size and frame dimensions.
Engineered for Reliable Feeding in Officer-Size 1911 Pistols
Chip McCormick magazines are widely trusted in the 1911 world because of their attention to feed lip geometry and follower design.
On this compact Shooting Star Officer’s mag, that means:
Optimized feed lips to present .45 ACP cartridges at the correct angle into the compact 1911 feed ramp.
Match-grade follower and spring design to reduce nose-dives, last-round issues, and inconsistent feeding.
A reputation for reliable operation in a wide range of Officer/Compact 1911 pistols when properly maintained.
For concealed carry, defensive use, or competition with an Officer-sized gun, magazine reliability is critical—and this model is purpose-built for that role.
Perfect as a Replacement, Upgrade, or Spare Magazine
The Chip McCormick Shooting Star Officer’s 7-Round Stainless Magazine w/ Pad is ideal for:
Replacing worn factory mags in your Officer or Compact 1911.
Upgrading from low-quality aftermarket magazines that cause feeding issues.
Building out a set of matching carry and training mags with the same feel and performance.
Keeping spares on hand for range sessions, classes, or competition.
With its stainless construction and match-grade internals, it’s a smart choice for anyone who relies on a compact 1911 for serious use.
