Whats a good inexpensive 1911 single stack mag?

Another vote for Wilson Combat, but you can't go wrong with McCormick, Mec-Gar, or Tripp mags. I picked up a handful of used Kimber mags for the range recently from Ebay for a steal, and they all functioned flawlessly.

@Jstudz220 is right, don't skimp on mags, especially if you're going to be carrying them. I use a paint pen, and a series of dots on the bottom of my mags to number them. Makes it easier to identify any issues at the range and pull a mag from rotation

Ditto to everything, including praise for the Metalform magazines. My Kimber TLE II came with 8 Kimber 8-round flush mounts and they've been flawless so far. You can find them on eBay for less than $22 and that's with free shipping. Have fun!

If you want a high quality mag for HD/CC, Tripp Research mags are excellent!

I haven't had any problems with mil spec. I do like the 10 round Chip Mccormicks though...

Well I got my order of Metalform mags in today and immediately headed to my outdoor range. They worked perfectly even brand new with no time to sit with them loaded. They loaded easily and look like they are great quality, but they do have a slight sharp edge on the back corner where the metal folds over in the corners but not that bad. The factory mag has a similar but not as sharp edge. I might try to "soften" those edges. Overall happy with them.

Late addition here, Wilson mags function well, but I would say go CMC, for the metal follower. I already have one Wilson mag that the follower has some wear and it does not fully engage the slide stop.
