BN91205 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDeta...0A47-1248106733 They're selling at an intro price of $95.95! Comes in tactical black or brushed silver. Pretty cool! Now they just need to bring back the Ice Magwell for all my Para's and I'm set.

NCShooter Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Did anyone get a prerelease of these? I'd like to see a pic of the bottom opening. I'm currently running SVI's and would like to know how they relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justforfun Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'd like to see the bottom as well, it looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Looks nice. I am ordering one today and will give a report when I get it on a gun. Question/concern?... Looks (in the photo) like there is a considerable gap at the front....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I think that gap in the front is going to be there on all magwells. You can get the SV which doesn't have it, but then you have the choice, dremel out the magwell or cut the lip off the front of the magazine. I ordered a couple of these too and can't wait to check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it fits differently on different guns but I didn't have to dremel the magwell or the magazine basepads (Wilson DE's) with the SVI on my Trojan. The closed in front is one of the things I liked about the SVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sorry.. I was by the shop when they had the first batch in, but didn't get any pics. The opening at the front is for the 'lip' most mags have-- it's covered at the top. IIRC Dave is planning to make a version without that gap, but you'll need to buy special basepads for it. The overall opening is a good size. Maybe 3x the width of a SS magazine and some angle front-to-back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closed in front is one of the things I liked about the SVI. I also use the Wilson DE's for my Trojan and the magazine would not insert in the gun because the lip on the front of the mag was striking the magwell. I ordered a set of Techwells and was going to replace the SVI magwell and MSH only to find out the Techwell was already relieved in that area also. Can you get me a pic of you magwell with and without a mag inserted. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dohboy Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDeta...0A47-1248106733They're selling at an intro price of $95.95!

B Would like to hear from other members whether they think the Dawson will work with Wilson 47Ds, EMTs and CMC Power 8s without modification because those are the mags I'm using! +1 on bringing back the Para Ice Magwell, especially the one that was designed to fit frames that were previously fitted with an S&A.

With the relief cut in the front I'd suspect they'd work with most any mag. I'm considering ordering one. I love the Techwell, but this looks pretty cool too and I like the insert because you know they're slippery as heck to help a slightly off reload.

kgunz11 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Yeah, yours is different from mine. Have you had it long? It might be an updated version with the relief cut already in it. I had to cut mine myself. I did the last one with a dremel, but future projects will be done on the mill. Cutting it out on the mill will prevent the relief from going all the way through, which is something you'd have a real hard time with using a dremel.

zhunter Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 OK, I have refrained from posting on this one, but I must say, it looks VERY good, and that is coming from a dedicated SV 1911 magwell advocate. I am NOT a fan of gaps, and like others would like to see bottom photos. How does it attach to the frame? Overall, from initial glance, it looks like a winner.

Yeah, I have had mine a little over three years and it came with the cut for the mag lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm... make me wonder why mine didn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCShooter Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hmmm... make me wonder why mine didn't have one. I've installed a few for some different folks, all have had the cut already made. Maybe yours missed a final machining step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 They say it will fit in the IDPA box but how is the weight? I have an S&A on my Kimber at the moment but I like the look of the Dawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aluminum SVI makes weight I wouldn't see why the Dawson wouldn't. Most SA are steel anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
