Notes
1. Commander Compact and Compact 9mm 1911 handguns can use 9 round magazines.
When built by Wilson Combat, they will ship with 8 round magazines if the handguns does not have a magwell installed and will ship with 9 round magazines if the handgun does have a magwell installed.
2. The Wilson Combat Sentinel 1911 size is exclusive, and its parts and magazines cannot be interchanged with any other Subcompact/Officer-sized 1911 handguns.
3. Not all compact frames maintain the same size specifications, which means that components such as grips and magazines may not always be compatible with different models.
For instance, Springfield Armory® EMP® 3" and 4" models require proprietary magazines; however, many other Compact 1911 parts can still be utilized.
