probably not................... The magazines are similar, but the 9mm has a spacer in it on the rear of the magazine to accomodate the shorter 9mm cartridge. New magazines in both calibers are available from Colt on their web site (Coltsmfg.com). Ps: a "clip" is a strip of metal made to hold rounds by their base, (google firearm clip) a magazine is a spring loaded box like receptacle where you put rounds in.
Wilson Arms' 47 Series of magazines have a very good reputation. http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_magazines.asp Tripp Research makes magazines for 1911's that work excellently, as well. http://www.trippresearch.com/store/store_1911.html Claude Wiggleman Champion Shadow Boxer
Oddly enough, it dates to 1911, though that is the final patent date - Browning started work on it before that, as he had the basic weapon finished for the Army pistol trials in 1910. The 1911 was the "perfected" version.
Bill at Work - 1911 was released on: USA: 19 May 1911
it doesnt work
Some magazines will not work with speed loaders, but most standard magazines do.

100-500 USD As of July 26, 2009, the Colt Pocket Nine commands a price of about $800-850 used and $950-1000 New In Box. It had a relatively short run because of a patent infringement filed by Kahr. It is in high demand for concealed carry work and extra magazines are hard to find.
I wouldn't. Range of 9mm is 50 yards. Only good for close up work. Magazines are hard to come by. 5.56 or 223 has a range of 300-600 yards, ammo is easily available, magazines are everywhere.
Answer Model ComparisonThe difference is the grip, frame rail size and the dustcover beneath the slide. The Colt Government model 1911 frame must be shortened in both the rails and the dust cover area to work as a Commander. and the Officer model dustcover a bit shorter still. The Officers model generally has a shorter grip and a smaller magazine. Both the Colt Commander and Officers model frame rails are about .086" shorter than those of the standard Government frame, which is why a Commander sized slide is able to work on the smaller Officers frame, and vise versa, but the Commander and Officers sized slides will not work on the Government frame.The Government model 1911 is a standard 5 inch barrel and slide with the full frameThe Commander model is a 4.25 barrel w/ shortened slide rails and a government sized grip.The Officer model is a 3.5" inch barrel w/ shortened slide rails and a reduced length grip frame.The Government and Commanders model 1911's accept the standard 7 rnd. or 8 rnd. magazines.While the Officers model has a shorter magazine reducing the capacity to 6 rnds. However some aftermarket magazines are available that can give the additional 2 rnd. capacity to you for the Officers model.All 1911 type pistols are based on the original colt 1911 design specifications but not all 1911 type slides are compatible to switch between each other due to proprietary differences some have.Springfield armory makes a compact model 1911 with a 4" barrel/ slide and Para Ordnance makes an even shorter version of the Officers with a 3" barrel/ slide.
Writw a letter saying you hate their magazines and that you dont want them if that does not work kill yourself or lock yourself in the bathroom for the rest of your life.Or burn all the magazines you get!
