New Dan Wesson V-Bob owner looking for information

Thank you. So in your opinion these are better than the checkmate magazines that come with the gun?

Yes they are better in my opinion, a lot of 9mm 1911 owners use the Metalform with great success. I sold the mags that came with DW's from factory (probably Checkmate) and just got a bunch of Metalform, there is a down side to the Metalform as some have a welded floorplate so you have to decide is that is not a deal breaker for you. Dawson precision have a good selection of 9mm mags, Cobra mags are good and of course Wilson.

1911 Elite Tactical Magazine | 10 Round 9mm | Full-Size-http://shopwilsoncombat.com/

The Wilson magazines just got update not to long ago and they look very high quality.

VERY nice! Dangit, now you have me seriously looking at the new DW PM-C.

Thank you sir. Isn't the purpose of any forum to enable others as much as possible. LOL

Thanks, but because I'm a newbie I have another question. Why would a welded floorplate be a negative? Does this make maintenance of the magazine more difficult?

In order to do maintenance and or replace springs you would have to remove the base plate and in this case you can't, but not all of the magazines have welded floorplates so I would to buy the ones with removable floorplate.

Ok then I was right, I will certainly stay away from the ones with the welded floor plate.


Thanks again,
