the duck of death Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I'd like opinions of "THE" magwell(brass). It's going on a G34 open gun I'm building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 @ 5.6oz it does the job. I had one on my G22, but ended up with a Dawson heavy. BTW: PM on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctgun Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) I've got one of the THE's and it is OK but I also got the Dawson Ice and like it much better FWIW. Edited November 3, 2007 by ctgun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the duck of death Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Well shoot, all I hear is ice ice ice, so I ordered a ICE magwell. Anyway it's a lot easier to describe your magwell as being a "Ice magwell" rather than a ''The magwell"(which is like explaining "Who's on 1st".

Harmon Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i was told that the ICE was a pain in the butt to install i use THE brass and it works good as anyone can ask. I may try the ice soon. Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmon I have installed two Ice magwells. One on my G-22 and one on my 35 and both went on in less than 5 minutes. I have heard of others having to shave plastic but have not ran into it myself.

The Antichrome Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have the Ice on a G35. Super easy installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltgov Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 After the plug and play installation the mags all should drop free without binding. To my surprise my Dawson Ice did just that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proraptor Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just installed a dawson ICE on my G17 last week and it went one with no problems.....The mags slide out without binding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astephenson Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Which, if either, of these magwells will fit in the IDPA box for ESP on a G22? I want to build one to use for both IDPA ESP and Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustdevil21 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I installed one on my G24, I like the weight. But I had a couple of instances of the mag dropping out of the gun on it's own (could have been my thumb, but I didn't have that problem before changing) this last weekend. Not sure if the Taylor Freelance Mag extensions were hitting the magwell holding up the engagement of magazine catch. I might do some relief work on the Well and see how that goes.

I want to build one to use for both IDPA ESP and Limited. Neither will fit in the IDPA box. I would suggest a JP magwell if you are wanting something that is IDPA legal.

PINMAN44 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You all may laugh but I love this magwell called prezine. It's tiny but it's all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cferree Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I've got an Ice "light" that I switch between a G35 limited gun and a G17 open with no issues. It takes less than five minutes to make the change. I also like that my plastic Glock mags aren't rubbing on metal (aluminum or brass) every time I make a mag change. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolduckboy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have one and love it but it dings like a Mofo on crack. Did 20 minutes worth of reloads and was all gone to hell. Also have had problem with mags getting stuck because of that. Going to have to take a dremel tool to it and smooth it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THINK the lightweight ICE mag funnel is IDPA legal for size and weight. I have the JP and I hate it. I'd rather just use a Scherer or Taylor aluminum slug plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeD explained last month to me about the 2 different frame size in the Glock family of the medium frame such as the 34/34 17/22.. maybe that's the answer to some fitting issues..

Weird -- I didn't think there was a bit of difference between 3rd generation, small frame Glocks. What is the difference? Regardless, the magwell is a gray zone, IMO, in Glocks and IDPA. Even if the Dawson fit the box, and (my vague memory is it didn't) it secures with a brass plug that adds weight -- even the lighter of the models. So then you have to reconcile the plug with this rule: "B. Add-on weights for a competitive advantage (this includes, but is not limited to, weighted magazines, tungsten guide rods, brass magazine wells, weighted grips)."
