I hadn't heard of checkmates before today

Checkmate makes mags for many 1911 manufacturers who stamp their own names on the mags, including Colt. Look at the bottom of your Colt mag and see if it has the letter "C." If so it is from Checkmate ("M" is from Metalform).
I usually tell people to buy what works in their pistols. There are so many different manufacturers of both 1911 pistols and 1911 mags, that sometimes a name brand mag doesn't work in a name brand 1911.
