I have a 10rd Chip McCormick with an extension that I use in my M1991A1 Colt Combat Commander that I carry. The extension doesn't give you a full extended grip; but, does give a little extra to hold on to. I usually keep it loaded with the 8rd and keep the 10rd on my belt with the other 8rd I have.

I've shot more than 5000 rnds though my M1991A1 and never had a malfunction with either the 2 Mec-Gar 8rnd mags or the Chip McCormick 10rnd mags I have.

Since my hands are wide I figured the 8+1 models are a tad longer in the grip which would work out fine for me. I hadn't started to look for extended magazines for this model but will investigate.The 8+1 or 7+1 issue is easy to solve. Buy an eight round magazine.
Being a 1911 newbie, I assume that there isn't a "standard" 1911 magazine and each manufacturer would have their own version. Is that a bad assumption?
I looked at the Springfield website and they have an 8-round magazine but no grip extension. They also have a 10 round listed but still no grip-extension.
