I have an MGC Colt Defender 45 (1911 Officer frame with a 3" barrel and compact slide)

Originally, WA was an aftermarket parts maker for MGC GBBs, especially Berettas and 1911s. MGC licensed WA's Magna Blowback system to use in their own guns. Design-wise, MGC and WA guns are extremely similar, with many parts being cross compatible. MGC didn't use the heavier ABS found in most WA guns however.

Mags for the 1911s are identical in just about every respect.

The Defender, and the gun you have, use the shorter Officer frames, which feature a single stack 13 rnd mag. You could use a standard WA single stack 15 rnd mag, but as Meat pointed out it'll stick out a bit.

The kicker though is WA released (re-released?) the V10 Ultra Compact, which asides from the markings and ported slide/barrel, is identical to my Defender. Now WA is using a new mag design for single stackers, which holds extra BBs (for for regular and Officer size models), but by all accounts those fit single stacks just fine.

So I have a couple on order (if that order ever comes in :P Brian, i"m looking at YOU man... hahaha). I'm 99.9% certain they'll fit just fine.

DenTrinity (i think it was Den) also have/had MGC Officer -sized 13 round mags listed. Those are the original ones, if you can order from Den.

And as Illusion pointed out, green gas in those MGC guns is bad, mmmmkay?
