Wilson Combat's Elite Tactical Magazine (ETM) is designed as an 8-round single-stack magazine. The ETM features a heavier, stainless-steel tube resistant to spreading and lip failure. Features also include a redesigned spring, numbered cartridge observation ports located on the rear edge of each side of the tube, etched numbers on the base pad for tracking magazines, and a base pad that allows for a longer tube and less spring compression, with a perfect flare for a sure grip when removing a magazine under adverse situations. Every component is either stainless steel or nylon, making the ETM impervious to the elements.
