You're Just "Paying for the Name"

Their mags are just as good as the OEM's out there and cheaper. Price up an OEM Sig mag and a comparable mecgar mag.

That’s because Mecgar make the original mags for many manufacturers
, including Sig.

You ever shake a Wilson Combat, ...........not a sound, you shake the lower end ones and they rattle

I see that all the time. Never quite get it though. My shaky achy brakey Norinco cuts clover leaves, my cimarron is tight like Ft. Knox and does just as well.

I had an Argentinian hipower clone that was loosy goosy. I mean shook when you carried it. Never misfired, accurate, reliable. Some things are for show me thinks.

Not the 1911 mags.
Sig uses Check Mate as an OEM magazine

Yes, there are some they don't make..the point is that they are an OEM manufacturer, not that they make ALL OEM mags. Also, they don't fit the narrative of this thread.

I’m sure many manufactures make different ones for different models. But I know that 226,229,239 are made by mecgar.

Point is, many things are about “bling” or Bragging Rights”
WC, and Kimber are just bling. I won’t buy a Kimber unless it’s dirt cheap and I could trade it for something I want. WC make decent stuff, but I’m not interested in their complete guns.
And I’ll say it... LOL I love a 1911, but I always feel that I’m under gunned carrying one, and they make my pants sag...

Suck it up and buy a quality belt.
Or, there’s shoulder holsters.
But granted, even with a LW Commander, eight rounds of hardball does add a little heft.

BTW, I’ve never felt under gunned even with my little Star PD.
Hint: spare mags.

and, have any of the Kimber haters ever actually owned one?

en with my little Star PD.

Own one and have owned several. There are much better options on the market for less money. I would never buy a new one at retail. Smoking deal, sure I would pick one up, but it is going to have to be cheap.

Dan Wesson is just as good as Wilson Combat, Nighthawk and Ed Brown for half the cost. i said what i said.

I almost agree. But fit and finish a little better on the others...and generally better cs.
