BigBets Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Quick question...I have big meaty hands and fingers and looking for a magwell that doesn't squish my hand vertically as much as a normal magwell...Can anyone recommend a 1911 magwell for this occasion...Been looking at the techwell TGO....any big handed shooters out there can help me out Thanks Jacob Edited December 8, 2011 by BigBets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I have big hands, and prefer the magwell to enclose the front like the techwell XT or dawson ice. My issue with an open front is my pinkie finger can drag on the basepad and interfere with the mag falling out during reloads. Neither the dawson ice or techwell xt jam my fingers up like a dawson ice 2011 magwell does. They are fairly low profile but everyone’s hands are different.

Jammer1911 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have the TGO Techwell Magwell on my Range Officer. I absolutely love it. Without a doubt the best Magwell I have used to date. I also have big meaty paws (wifes words). I have had no issue with interference with mag drops. Get one enjoy it and don't look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm 6'6" and 265 pounds, with bear claws for hands. The Dawson Precision ICE single stack well does not affect my grip at all. In fact, I think it enhances it. The bottom of my hand just touches the top of the magwell, so that it just reinforces my grip without crowding. Unlike 2011 magwells that actually begin ABOVE the actual bottom of the frame, the ICE single stack well flare starts at the base of the frame. It does not encroach onto the normal grip area at all.

smokshwn Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No problems with the Techwell here either and I have pretty substantial hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-Sons Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Have you had any issues with the open front getting hung up on clothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammer1911 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hung up on clothing how? Is this for concealed or competition? I have the carry well on my STI and the TGO on my Range Officer. No issues with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck63 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 These magwells are rad!I'm going to compete in the Classic/SS division in the 2012 Italian Championship with my Les Baers...one comes with a magwell fitted at the factory while the other one hasn't one and I'd like to get one of these since LB won't even ship a screw outside the USoA without an export licence!Where can I look for them?Looks like you need to drill a hole in the MS housing for an Allen to secure it!

Cheers Manny I'm not sure who will import them to you, but they're fairly easy to install. Depending on which one you pick, they install differently, but none are all that difficult. The ones that bolt on come with a tapped MSH, so you just install it in place of your existing MSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon969 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 them techwells are BIG ones specially the xt model and the tgo model, used to have one on my trojan for ss division..but with the new ipsc rules on classic division the xt model would be too big..
