Sean Gaines Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Which magwell do you like? Which material? Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I personally use brass THE magwell. I like it because its heavy and gives the gun a good balance. Also the fit was great. I have seen other magwells were they have been installed and they look like as though they could come off at any time. The only thing about the THE is that its ugly imo but it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Perez Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 My favorite is the JP magwell. It allows stock base pads to clear the bottom of the well , compact size - I can use it on a carry gun and it's light weight. Made out of aluminum.

George Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 +1 on the JP. I like that it doesn't change the way a Glock handles because it's light. Being black it looks better IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have a Seattle Slug that I tried on one of my Glocks years ago and I really like the feel of it and the extra weight it gave. I probably like to try a Handgunner stainless magwell, 6.6 oz. A 9 oz tungsten would really feel nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I've used T.H.E./Glockmeister and J.P. magwells and I like them all for various reasons. The heavy brass of the T.H.E./Glockmeister magwells did change the way the gun handled due to the extra weight but they also add a LOT of material at the bottom of the frontstrap which presses upwards on my weak hand to give a really firm grip. The JP is really nice looking and it doesn't change the way the gun handles. I do wish it pressed up on my weak hand though and that nocks it down a notch or two in my book. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 JP magwell for me too. It fits in the IDPA box if you are so inclined to be a crossover shooter who shoots ESP and Limited. Extra nice that stock mags work just fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_pfunk Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) Glockmeister brass magwell for IPSC limited competition. Like the brass magwell because it adds extra weight which is nice with the poly frame for recoil control. Reasonable price, easy install, extra weight. Gives a very nice balance to a tungsten guide rod. Edited October 31, 2005 by da_pfunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 THE brass magwell. Bought at Custom Glock Racing. Excellent service. Magwell 'tames' the gun and gives it a nice feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I use the Aluminum JP Enterprise for IDPA ESP and the NHO Stainless for USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot45 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have always used the one from California Competition Works on my 17's and 34's for IDPA and for carry.....of course,the ones for carry were heavily moified. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireglock Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I've used the THE brass and now the NHO "Big Mouth" and the stainless Big Mouth feels the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Headshot, I experienced problems with the California Competition Works magazine wells in small and large frame Glock’s. Basically when the gun was in slide lock the magazine wouldn’t drop did you have that problem? These were FML magazines. If so how did you get around it?

Headshot45 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 hi ryucasta, I never had those problems, but also I didn't just bolt them on and shoot. I would blend them with the bottom of the frame and open them up slightly. Frank p.s. I have just started going back to Glock, so I need to look at whats available now before I order a CCW magwll for my new 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 If I needed something bolt on, or didn't want to permanently alter the gun, it would be the JP aluminum. Exclude those two requirements and I'd have John Nagel install a Dawson Ice magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oct_97 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) T.H.E. Brass Magwell for USPSA and go to www.buffertech.com for one that will fit in the IDPA box for ESP and is great for carry. Edited November 18, 2005 by oct_97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctgun Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I have the THE brass magwell and I like the extra weight that it adds. It makes me feel that I can keep the gun steadier than with a light weight magwell IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dan the mag well is at the machinest now and will be back from plating in a week or so best I can tell . I was hoping to have them available for X-mas but the machinest is backed up with military stuff. we all can understand that. Johnnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy87Guy Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Can anyone endorse a magwell for the G21? I just ordered a Seattle Slug Plug because I couldn't find a magwell that seemed to work well with the large frame G21. I wanted something that also added the additional weight (brass) - this is strictly for competition, not for carry. Thanks! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Jim, WELCOME TO THE BRIAN ENOS FORUM. We talk on Glock talk once in a while (congrats on the new timer). Here is a link: http://glockmeister.com/catalog/product_in...products_id/206 Remember you can't use the brass one in IDPA competition. With the large frame Glocks I'm not sure if this mag well in the aluminum version will fit in the box. Maybe someone else can answer that for you. Welcome again, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you here. I'm only planning to shoot USPSA, so it's not an issue right now. I'll see how the slug plug works out but I'll keep the magwell in mind. I looked over so many accessories and sites this weekend, that I think I actually saw the Glockmeister magwell first and forgot! My Steve Anderson book is on the way -- should get here this week. Thanks for all the advice and the encouragement! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You'll be happy with the Anderson book and the timer. While USPSA is my favorite of the two games by far, there is something to having the ability to shoot either game with the same gun; it just keeps your options open.
