Ah0386 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) What would you recommend for this 1911 newb, a magwell clip or mainspring housing assembly? Or does it matter? What do you suggest for brand? Looking to keep this as an IDPA only gun. Am I wasting my time with the clip? Edited May 26, 2014 by Ah0386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipscjoe Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I like my Dawson ice a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) You can go for an STI MSH/magwell combo for a single stack. The magwell is removable and is about the same size as an S&A magwell. Edited May 26, 2014 by hiker88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 EGW has a combo M/S housing magwell that is a little more affordable that the Ed Brown or STI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Bob Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Get the whole mainspring housing w/magwell attached like this: http://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/STI-1911-Magwell-with-Mainspring-Housing-P801.aspx You need to use the small style magwells, as opposed to the Dawson Ice magwells, for IDPA. I believe the Dawson Ice magwells will not fit in the idpa box. They are fine if shooting single stack in USPSA, but not IDPA. And it's a very simple 5 minute install.

Rob01 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Dawson ICE magwells will fit in the IDPA and USPSA box. Got one coming on my new Trojan .40 CRP from them this week. Will let you know how I like it but have two ICE magwells on my Glocks and like those alot. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=800016B4-1388518370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Dawson also has this new low profile magwell. I haven't seen one in person but from the looks of it, the opening appears to be much wider than the S&A`s, Wilson, etc. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=800019F4-1398804368 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joetsui Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Dawson Ice mag-well is the way to go. I had used Smith & Alexander for years, but when I switched to Ice mag-well from Dawson mag changes are effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
