Colt 1991 Series Government .45 ACP Blue/Black Pistol

A: Yes the colt 1911 can be loaded with an 8 round magazine as can any full size 1911. As far as the magazine protruding the base, it depends on which magazines you purchase, although most 8 round magazines will not protrude the base. Only the bigger magazines will.
