mshotwell Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm thinking of buy a Cape Magwell. I see 2 listed Cape aluminum and the super. What are the big difference between 2. I can't find much about them. It will be going on my 6in 2011, using Dawson pads. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Check out Speed Shooter Intl. They have a description of the regular and super. Sounds like the super won't fit in the box for IPSC standard division while the regular will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hello: You may want to look at the Cameron magwell also. I think it looks better and it fits large hands. I am not sure about the IPSC box. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshotwell Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks, I don't think I'll be shooting IPSC standered any time soon. I'm try to decide if it's the extra money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwoods Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 +1 on the Cameron magwell. I am getting one on my 6" and bought one for my 5". They allow the palm/heel of your hand to go down further. Very similar to the cape magwell. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I use a Cape Magwell on my Open gun. The difference between the two is the IPSC box; the one fits the other doesn't. Your hand does have more space, but the Cape Magwell also has a very pronounced ridge which can dig into your palm. It takes getting used to. If you have the chance try one out first.

Do you have the big one on yours? I don't have to worry about the IPSC box. I'll just be shooting USPSA limited. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, although it is a consideration if you want to shoot IPSC Standard, say at the next world shoot in Florida. I use the large magwell, as I shoot Open. I have included some pics to show you what I mean by the ridge. In the first pic you can see that my palm covers part of the magwell. In the third pic this is clearly visible. In the fourth pic you can see the ridge I am talking about. It isn't a big deal because you get used to it, but you are very aware of the ridge at first.

Thanks the pictures help alot. Can you compare it to the Dawson Ice? I have a Dawson I wonder how bigger the Cape is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Don't have the Dawson, but if you send me measurements I can compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshotwell Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Don't have the Dawson, but if you send me measurements I can compare. 2.00 wide 3.19 long Both are from the outside of the magwell Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I recently did a write up on the Cameron magwell and compared it to both the Cape and the Dawson. I took some pics that might help you out. The large Cape I had been using and used in the pics they don't make any more but it is the same magwell just witht he sides cut down more.

EkuJustice Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Dawson makes a big hand one as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hello: Read what Neal wrote up. I have large hands, Neal's hands are huge. The Dawson magwell forces the hand up to the trigger guard and pushes my strong hand out at the bottom. I did not like the feel of the Cape or the look. The stock STI works well for large hands but the Cameron works even better. The large hand Dawson is not big enough either. I think having more contact with the grip with your strong hand helps your shooting. I know it has for me. If you get a chance I would look around and see if you can find the different magwells on other peoples pistols and ask them how they like the them.

mshotwell Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 First of all thanks for everyones help. I don't think I've ever seen anything but Dawson ICE and STI magwell. Most shooter either shoot production or SS. I went ahead an ordered the Cape super magwell. I'll sale the Dawson when the new one arrives. I was planning on buy an Albert Pujols jersey this year, I'll use that cash. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mshotwell Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 I got the cape to day I really like the way it fits. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
