I believe that it was made in 2004. It came with 1 mag and I would like to get a spare. Which ones are good?

I've had good luck with Checkmate, Metalform and Chip McCormick mags.  I think Checkmate and Metalform make the factory mags for DW.  Try a few to see what your gun likes best.  I also 'season' my new mags by loading them full and letting them sit for a week or so to condition the spring.  

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Got a model ?  

This is a Pointman Commander, which is considered to be a standard, full size 1911 for magazine and grip purposes, as well as most of the internals. It is shorter in slide and barrel length than full size.

I use Chip McCormick magazines (in addition to factory original)  in my 1911's, including my Springfield Light Weight Commander, with no issues.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
