Wilson mags are NOT "controlled feed", as the original 1911 mags were. They were designed to release the cartridge before it got captured, to help race guns function. I have a vague recollection they are not reliable when the gun is held sideways or upside down. I do recall seeing one spit it's guts out when dropped on the plastic floorplate. Well, it launched itself when the plastic split, with the body landing a few feet away. I've seen the plastic break a few times, but only that one lost containment.
I prefer the Colt mags, but I wish Mag-Pak still made followers/spring kits for them. You just don't expect a good product to go out of business.
I have a couple Ed Browns and a Tripp Research (https://www.trippresearchinc.com/), but mostly I have Kimber TacPro's for the .45 - a dozen in 7-round configuration.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."
Big Mistake for Her
If Ginsberg had let Scalia put the words "strict scrutiny" in Heller and Hillary said "Gun control is just not going to be a priority for my administration," Hillary would have been elected President.
