chansen921911 45 magazine recommendations please
Wilson and CMC joined forces about 12 years ago and CMC are made under the same roof unless they have split again. Quality wise there is little if any difference.

Real Colt mags are made by Metalform, Check-mate and a few others. There's a mark on the bottom indicating who made the mag. Wilsons are highly regarded.
Some 1911s are picky. I'd try one of a brand before I bought a bunch.

dbuck47Wilson 1st choice, McCormick second.
Some Colts like Colt mags, but most everything likes Wilson.

I've been using the same Colt marked 7 round mag that came with the Combat Commander I bought back in 1988. It's been good to go so a couple more of the same variety have been added to the lineup. Does/Did Colt make those magazines in their own factory? If not which manufacturer makes these for Colt?
Colt was sourcing magazines in that time period from Checkmate and Metalform, they will be marked with an "M" or a "C" on the base to indicate the manufacturer.
