VFC 1911 UC Long Magazine

A compact 1911 gives up grip length, and on a gas pistol grip length is gas capacity. A long magazine fills the frame out again, which does two useful things at once: more propellant per fill, and somewhere for your little finger to go.

VFC list this one against the 1911 UC and the Kimber Ultra Carry. It is the factory spare rather than an aftermarket part, so the finish and the feed lips match what came in the box.

The round count is the one thing VFC leave out, which is unusual for a magazine. We have left the cell blank rather than reading a number off a similar part.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

An extended magazine sits proud of the grip. That is the point of it, but it does change how the pistol sits in a tight holster, so check yours before a game rather than on the day.

If you shoot the gun in cold weather, the extra gas volume in a long magazine is the single cheapest thing you can do about a falling shot count.

Frequently asked questions

How many rounds does it hold?
VFC do not give a capacity for this magazine. We will put the figure up the moment they publish one.

Will it fit a standard-length 1911?
The platforms VFC name are the UC and the Ultra Carry. A full-size frame is a different magazine well depth, so treat it as something to check.

Is it the same as the one supplied with the gun?
It is the factory part for that pistol, yes.

Does it come with gas in it?
No. Magazines ship empty.
