in .45 1911's what is the difference between single and double stacks?

Answer 1

Most if not all 1911's are singles stacks -- that has to do with the magazine. By double stacking (almost but not quite side by side, staggered) you increase the magazine capacity. A single stack is a single strip of bullets in the magazine.

Answer 2

Double stacking magazines is an easy to double the capicity of the magazine, many 1911s have a 7 round magazine, but double stacks have 13-15 rounders.

Answer 3

A single stack magazine will store the bullets one under the other one. Max capacity for a .45acp single stack is seven to eight bullets.

A double stack magazine will stagger the bullets side-by-side and under each other. Max capacity can be extended this way to thirteen or fourteen bullets.

The double stack in .45acp will sometimes make the pistol grip too wide for some hands.
