You could not give me a Pro Mag. I am not a fan of Mec Gar either, but many manufacturers use them for OEM mags. Which as a rule with striker fired handguns I will only use OEM mags. For 1911s I like Wilson Combat though I have a few Kimber ( mec gar) mags that run very well. ARs I stick to gen 2 P Mags.

I agree! My XP w ProMag has not been good. I steer clear. MecGar has been better (although I never tried them w 1911). WC is my standard for 1911 and I believe that's how they started - fixing the common magazine issues back in the day)
 
In my "limited" experience...
Pro-Mag = Weak Springs and light metal tubes, they may or may not work reliably....
Mec-Gar = Fit and Finish seems short of OEM and better brands, but have strong springs and so far seem to work reliably...
Wilson Combat = Good Quality, Good Springs, Work Reliably
OEM = Seem the highest quality and strong springs, always work reliably

AFA Springfield Armory, their OEM mags are always available on their website and reasonably priced, usually only a few bucks more than aftermarket, cheaper than Wilson Combat....

I've never used a Springfield 1911 Magazine though, so I can't really comment on their magazines for 1911's...

These are the magazines that were sold with the gun brand new. I have no idea what they are. When SA replaced the defective one that wouldn’t lock the slide open after last round, they sent the exact same kind. I will look at WC

Striker guns I use the OEM, including my XD M2. I don't know who makes Springfield magazines, but I haven't had any issues with the 10 or so OEM SA mags for this gun. 1911s I am always going to ditch the stock mags unless they are Wilson, Ed Brown or Chip McCormick mags.
 
Thanks….. this is some good knowledge you’ve imparted
