Other magazine design changes made have been to increase the magazine capacity, like the Check-Mate eight-round magazines that are the subject of this article. The newer designs were developed to release the round earlier, which allowed newer ammunition designs such as semi-wad cutters and some hollow-point designs to feed more reliably.īelow is a photograph showing the three basic magazine designs found in 1911 magazines: The wadcutter magazine features parallel feed lipds that open comparatively abruptly to full width, providing release of the cartridge earlier in the feed cycle than the traditional GI magazines.Ī third variant is a hybrid of the first two, featuring tapered feed lips at the back of the magazine but also incorporating the early flare-out and release of the wadcutter syle magazines. A new design was developed, which is cleverly referred to as “wadcutter” feed lips. However, wadcutter bullets don’t feed well from the GI-standard magazines with tapered feed lips. One of the ammunition types favored in bullseye competition is the wadcutter bullet design, which has a flat “point.” Wadcutter bullets cut nice, clean holes in the target, making scoring easier and more accurate. Those had tapered feed lips, which release the round relatively late in the feed cycle. The original military and commercial magazines were designed to feed 230-grain ball ammunition (like the Colt seven round magazines).
