Genuine Springfield OEM Magazine for Compact 1911 .45 ACP
This is an original Springfield Armory magazine, not an aftermarket clone. It’s engineered from the ground up to work flawlessly in compact/officer-size 1911 pistols chambered in .45 ACP.
With the PI4723 you get:
Perfect fit and secure lockup in compatible compact 1911 .45 ACP frames
Proper engagement with the mag catch and slide stop for reliable operation
The same design, materials, and quality standards as the magazines that ship with Springfield compact 1911 pistols
If you depend on your compact 1911 for personal defense, running factory magazines is one of the most important reliability upgrades you can make.
6-Round .45 ACP Capacity – Compact, Powerful & Concealable
This compact magazine holds 6 rounds of .45 ACP, the classic capacity for officers/compact 1911 platforms:
Delivers hard-hitting .45 ACP performance in a shortened, easily concealed grip frame
Keeps your pistol’s profile small and streamlined, ideal for everyday carry
Works perfectly for IWB, AIWB, or OWB concealed carry, where a shorter grip reduces printing
With 6 rounds in the mag plus one in the chamber, you’re carrying 7 rounds of .45 ACP in a time-tested defensive format.
Blued Steel Construction – Strong, Traditional & Reliable
The Springfield PI4723 compact magazine uses a blued steel body, offering real-world durability and a classic look:
Steel tube resists deformation, dings, and wear from repeated loading/unloading
Blued finish gives a traditional, low-glare appearance that matches many 1911 pistols
Smooth steel surface helps ensure fast, snag-free insertion and positive ejection
If you prefer the traditional look and feel of blued steel, this mag fits right in with classic 1911 styling.
Tuned for Smooth Feeding & Positive Slide Lock
Springfield Armory designs its magazines as a critical part of the firearm system, and this compact 6-round mag is no exception:
Precision-formed feed lips present each .45 ACP round at the correct angle for reliable chambering
A quality high-tension magazine spring maintains consistent upward pressure across the whole stack
Properly engineered follower design supports smooth feeding and dependable last-round slide lock, so you always know when the gun is empty
From slow-fire accuracy work to realistic defensive drills, this OEM mag is built to keep your compact 1911 running smoothly.
Compact, Flush-Fit Profile for Better Concealment
Because it’s designed for compact/officer-size 1911 frames, the PI4723 offers a short, flush-fitting profile:
Sits flush or near-flush with the bottom of the compact grip for a clean, snag-free draw
Minimizes printing under light clothing, making it easier to conceal the gun effectively
Preserves the balanced feel and handling characteristics that compact 1911s are known for
If your priority is deep concealment with classic .45 ACP power, this 6-round blued compact magazine is an ideal match.
Ideal as a Primary, Spare, or Training Magazine
Every serious 1911 carrier should own multiple magazines, and the Springfield PI4723 fills several key roles:
Primary carry magazine in your compact 1911 .45 ACP
Spare/backup mag carried on the belt, in a pocket, or in a mag pouch
Replacement for worn, damaged, or unreliable aftermarket mags
Dedicated training magazine for heavy range use, reload drills, and malfunction practice
Running the same style of mag in both training and carry ensures consistent feel and function when it matters most.
Perfect for Concealed Carry, Home Defense & Range Use
Whether you rely on your compact 1911 for everyday carry or keep it ready for home defense, this Springfield OEM magazine is built to support that role:
Concealed Carry: Compact size, classic capacity, and proven reliability
