Are all mags for 1911 s compatible generally speaking I am aware of the TM issue they being a little bit finickety etc but what bout the other makes ?

 
KJW are TM clones, so TM fit in KJW.

KJW fit in TM but due to tolerances is a tight fit and might have trouble removing the mag.

WE has its own design, not TM compatible.

Other brands I can't tell.

NOT 100% sure, but 95% sure on this:

ASG uses KJW as a base, so TM clone

Armourer Works uses WE as a base

 
1911 mags are either TM or Western Arms clones but generally due to tolerances you are better sticking to same manufacture as the gun. I am pretty sure WE are TM clones. Not sure what you mean by finickety generally speaking TM mags are better made than other brands of mag. if you have a TM for the sake of a few quid stick to TM made especially the newer M45A1 mags they have larger gas capacity.

 
Thanks peeps that answers that or
