This magazine kit features the NicTaylor Hi-Viz follower designed to lock the slide back on last shot fired. This makes your magazines function just like factory except with more rounds! This magazine modification works on the Colt 1911 A1 Gold Cup, Government and Rail Gun 22LR pistols made by Walther. With this magazine upgrade you will get additional rounds in the factory 10 and 12 round clips. These modifications are not permanent and easily installs in minutes. With this upgrade you can get 15 rounds in the magazine. Simply remove the factory follower, metal pin in the follower, spring and spring retainer. Insert the NicTaylor follower, new spring and the included spring retainer and slide on the factory basebad or the Shockbottle standard capacity aluminum basepad sold HERE. This magazine upgrade is designed to lock the slide open on last shot fired.

Please note you will not use the metal pin found in the factory follower. Most people use this pin to aid in loading the magazine. If you have the need for a load assist tool we have two options for you. The first uses the hole in the blue follower to push the follower down. You can find it HERE. The second works more like a traditional magazine loader and can be found HERE

Installation Instructions RESTRICTIONS
 

1. Remove factory basepad by depressing the spring retainer tab located at the bottom of the basepad. While depressing the spring retainer, slide off the factory basepad. CAUTION! This magazine spring is under tension and can "spring out" of the magazine tube along with other magazine parts.

2. Remove the factory spring. Remove the load assist button on the side of the factory follower. At this point you will be able to remove the factory follower.

3. Insert the HiViz follower and the included magazine spring.

4. Compress the magazine spring and spring retainer into the magazine tube and slide on the Basepad. Take note of the orientation of the spring retainer so that the side with the single button lines up with the hole in the basepad. The spring retainer will settle itself into the hole in the Basepad and lock it into place.

5 of 5 15 round magazine arrived October 8, 2025
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Mesquite, NV United States  
The 15 round magazine conversion was easy to install and have approx. 1000 rounds through them at this time. 300 rounds of practice and 700 rounds in IDPA and steel challenge.  Excellent in all respects

5 of 5 Colt 1911 22lr 15+1 Magazine Upgrade March 6, 2025
Reviewer: Charlie from Florida  
Excellent upgrade with quality parts. Hardest part of disassembly was removing the "load assist button". No suggested method in the Instructions. I ended up prying it/breaking it off from the OE follower with a thin bladed screwdriver. Had to be slow and gentle as not to bend or damage the magazine. Reassembly was not a problem. First load of 15 rounds was firm with rounds 13-15 as the spring compressed. It should be easier the next time.

Works as advertised, wish the load assist worked with the kit, but they don’t.

Quality materials and craftsmanship. The 15 round followers and springs perform better than the originals
