As the title says; and yes I suspect that no-one will actually have any spare magazines, but if I don't ask I will never know...

Thanks, but I can get to Drapers easily. I hadn't actually thought of looking there yet, I had just defaulted to looking online...

I can't remember how much Drapers has them for but I picked up a couple without breaking the bank, certainly a lot less than Solware had

They seem to have them at £35,but the listing doesn't say the calibre. I will try and go next week.

I was in the same boat when I got my very first 1911, I was desperate for a spare magazine. I refused to pay the OTT prices for a new one, seriously thought about an extended one, well if you're going to buy one it might as well be a big one but £42 for a magazine seemed a bit too steep as well. So I kept searching for a secondhand one for absolutely ages and then one day I contacted a woman who was selling some guns on behalf of her late father, I ended up buying a one from her (Colt SAA 7½" in blue) but in passing she mentioned a broken 1911 that she had. It was her father's favourite gun, he'd painted it black (hand painted with a brush !), I ended up buying that from her for £20 just for the spare magazine. I ended up fixing it too (new replacement hammer from a WE 1911) and that's how I ended up with two 1911s, lol.
It's handy having two magazines for my 1911s but it goes to show the rarity of getting a secondhand spare magazine on it's own......it's almost impossible to find one unless you're prepared to buy a another whole gun cheap. I still look for another spare magazine but so far, in well over three years, I've never found one !

Actually, thinking about it, I do remember seeing a secondhand one for sale on the AGF for £24, I offered the guy £20 for it (as he wanted £4 P&P on top of the price) and he actually told me that he wouldn't sell it to me if his life depended on it. His name ? COZZAMEC ! I guess he was still sore over me telling him that he was an unscrupulous member for buying things cheap off the forum's sale section and reselling on GunStar/GunTrader for a profit.
But yeah, that's the only time I've ever seen a standard KWC 1911 magazine for sale separately.

I bet he wouldn't join anyway, not enough action in the trading post.

All joking aside, that's definitely not the sort of member I ever want to see on here ! He's one of those guys that is just in it for himself, making ca$h is his hobby, CO2 replicas are just an incidental factor to him. I don't for one minute think that he'll ever try to join, as he's totally aware of who I am (I don't hide it) and we have history, in fact AGF quickly changed the rules to reflect the negativity of buying and selling for profit after our little Tete-a-tete, lol.

It’s a shame people are like that, exploiting the passion of others for personal gain
