1911 HARDCORE® MAGWELL Reviews & Ratings

Ed Brown's one-piece Hardcore® Magwell gives you an extremely clean, streamlined, "of a piece" magwell installation that looks good and adds minimal bulk to your pistol. Most important, it provides a meaningful practical assist in getting a fresh mag seated home pronto when you need a fast reload. Each Hardcore Magwell is precision machined from a single piece of solid steel bar stock, so it offers a smooth, rounded, fully de-horned profile, making it comfortable for your EDC or competition gun. The rear of the MSH is neatly radiused, and there are convenient side scallops on the bottom to give your fingers extra clearance to help you extract a magazine from the pistol. The Hardcore magwell is designed for a perfect fit with flat-bottom grips for a sleek, full-on custom appearance.

Magwell For SR1911 .45 ACP

This magwell is a great fit for my SR 1911 5" Goverment Model. The finish matches perfectly for the matte black finish on the pistol and provides the correct clearance for 8 and 10 round magazines. It installs as claimed and required no alteration or fitting. I used new mainspring, mainspring housing pin, cap and cap pin so the original housing can be swapped quickly if the magwell is not desired. Quality is on par with Wilson, but the fit and finish is a better match for a SR 191 black matte finished pistol.

Perfect

Fit very snug in my SA Operator but required no fitting. Lines match up perfectly. The carry bevels add a touch that you only saw on custom built pistols before. Excellent part that looks amazing.
