A few companies make double stack 1911s.
Baby, that's like fingernails on a blackboard!!!
I dont disagree, Im not much on double stack 1911s either. The closer to original (except in a few places where modernization isnt a bad idea, lowered flared ejection ports, trigger gaurd undercuts, and Novak sights for instance) the better for me.
My Colt XSE is so near Perfect for my taste the only thing I want to change is the ambi safety. I HATE ambi safties!

Several companies make a double stack 1911. Among them are Para Ordinance, STI, and a few others.
All it does is make the grip a little wider.
Detonics Detonics - Home makes a double stack that is actually dimensionally slighly smaller than a single stack 1911. It does this by making the grips integral to the frame, rather than adding wood panel grips to the frame.
STI also makes several double stack models, they now also offer an ergo grip similar to the grip offered by Detonics, it is no thicker than standard single stack 1911 with wood grip panels.
Both of the above companies use modern machine techniques to achive their grips, the guns look a little unconventional. Many suggest the Detonics model looks like a cross between a 1911 and a CZ 75, but the gun functions as a 1911, its just the look of the grip/frame that has people thinking its similar to a CZ 75.
I have large enough hands the a double stack is no issue for me...
How exactly does a chip mccormick mag work?
you stick it in the gun.....
you stick it in the gun.....
And a spring pushes the rounds up to the top,
Or, instead of investing in a new gun, you could buy some Chip McCormick 10rnd mags. 10+1 ought to make you feel a bit better.
haha... I had that coming. I meant the mechanics/physics of fitting more rounds in a space set for single stack. And how well do they work, because it just seems like something has got give. And compromise is not good when it comes to defense!
