Thinking of adding a magwell to my G34...

Recommended Posts

I put the Carver Customs magwell on my G41 for USPSA Limited-10 and Multigun Heavy Metal Limited (which uses a big bore Limited-10 pistol). I also put the Arredondo +4 extensions on two of my four magazines, just for the extra length, because I didn't need the capacity for the Limited-10 in either sport.

However, I have noticed that it is still very easy to seat the standard magazines inside the very wide Carver magwell. I could probably even do it on the clock without noticing a significant difference.

I do not know if the Carver is IDPA ESP legal. ESP is the only division I don't shoot there.

Don't mean to get off topic from op but are there any problems with the TTI basepads not fitting a magwell due to the tab on the basepads that lock them in being up so high on the mag?

I had to dremel a dimple in the SJC to get the TTI pins to seat.

The pin hit my zev speedfeed magwell on my gen 4 G35 so I cut the pins shorter and at an angle. If I didn't the pins would stick out of the bottom of the mag extensions.

Personally I would rather modify all the pins than cut/slot/drill a $120 magwell.

I have the Dawson magwell on my g34 and it works great. I started with arredondo extensions but after a few drops on concrete during indoor matches they started to crack. I swapped out to the Dawson tool - less aluminum and they look great and take the abuse no problem.

I have the TTI basepads, and I use the Zev slim magwell, by far my favorite... I heard through the grapevine the TTI Is coming out with a basepad... If so, I'll def check it out. I'm trying not to be such a Zev fanboy. NOTE: check your basepads with your clubs box to assure it fits... I needed KY to get mine in at the WA State IDPA championships.

I normally shoot with a bras Zev magwell with large brass insert because I wanted the most weight I could have down on the bottom of the frame. Last weekend I shot a match with an aluminum SJC magwell with aluminum insert.

I did not notice any difference. None. Zero.

Do you guys have an ETA for it to be released?

Indeed, inquiring minds want to know! I vote for a preorder list, I'm ready to order. Just got my G17 back from getting stippled at TTI, all I can say is wow. Quality work. All it needs is a mag well!

I have a Gen4 G34 and use a Dawson mag well and the Dawson +200 base pads. Those are the biggest Dawson pads that will still fit in the box, I believe. Mine is pretty tight, but still fits. I haven't shot them a whole shit ton, but they have survived drops on rock and concrete with no problem. Was easy to install the pads and well, too.

If you have a Gen4 34, you'll need to order the mag well which corresponds to the biggest backstrap you would use.

In the next month. We'll be offering aluminum and coated brass.

Very interesting. I just got a G35 for Limited and need a magwell. Are you making a Gen 4 version of the brass one? Any pics available yet? :)
