I love my XDs and I have been doing a lot of shooting between it and my new 1911. Both are great single stacks and I had a crazy thought... What are the differences between the two magazines and feed mechanics.
When I compared the magazines I noticed that the XDs magazine is a bit wider than my 1911 mags so they won't fit in the magwell of my 1911, but the 1911 mags will slide into the XDs. Obviously the mag release catch doesn't line up but everything else lines up including the slide stop lip on the follower.
Has anyone else thought to modify 1911 mags to fit in their XDs?
