Join the Top Tier

Chip McCormick Pistol MagazinesFinding magazines that work in your 1911 shouldn’t be a project.   If you have been using the best magazines on the market, you are down to probable only 2 or 3 manufacturers.     The 1911 pistol design is a very durable design, but part of the problem we see in the gun is it can take a toll on the magazine slide stop tab and some manufacturers have remedied that.   Wilson Combat and McCormick are two that we see.    Chip McCormick  has known the competative shooting sport and knew since his companies inception that the guns were great, but the magazines on the market were all based on the chinsy, slimsy throw away design the military used.

Chip McCormick magazines come in 6, 7, 8 and 10rd variants.   The Chip McCormick power mag is hands down one of the top tier 1911 magazines for durability and reliability.   For those that like the more traditional metal look over the plastic Wilson Combat magazine, this is your mag.   There are also various styles of McCormick pistol magazines.  Some will come with different magazine bases and some come flush fit.   You can decide which mag fits your style.

IDPA Vest or CCW Vest Option

CCW VestOne of our biggest selling apparel item is the Eotac Style 102 Vest.   This vest is very similiar to the Woolrich Elite vest, but they are outselling them 3 to 1 these days.   The only real difference we see is the lack of a pen pocket on the upper left pocket which means absolutely nothing to our customers.   These have very low below the belt line and are  a great OWB or Paddle holster CCW vest.  You will easily be able to conceal a full size auto with one of these.   The Style 102 vest is made of 100% cotton ripstop and is a very, very lightweight concealment garment.

The front pockets are primarily for storing gear.   We have had a few customers misinterpret the use of the vest as a firearm retention device, but we strongly recommend against trying to hide a gun in the front pockets.   This material is lightweight and you will most likely print your firearm if carrying in that manor.   If you are taking a defensive class and looking for a concealment garment, this is an excellent CCW Vest.   Khaki is by far the most popular color and the sage is a very mild and casual color that goes well with tan or khaki pants.
