Upgrading your 1911's magazine well doesn't have to mean a gunsmith visit. The Ed Brown Drop-In Maxi-Well slides right onto your frame and the magwell can be removed in seconds without taking anything apart. You get a much larger opening for faster, more reliable magazine changes, which makes a real difference in competition or when you just want smoother reloads at the range.
The machined chainlink design gives you solid grip traction without the sharpness that conventional checkering can have. The pattern follows the contour of your mainspring housing and stays comfortable against your palm whether you're in a concealed carry setup or running drills. The chainlink doesn't feel aggressive in your hand, yet it keeps the gun from rolling during rapid fire. It's the right balance between control and comfort.
The magwell attaches to the housing with a single screw on the bottom, so you can remove it whenever you want. Some shooters leave it on for dedicated range sessions or competition. Others take it off for carry and put it back on later. The housing itself is precision-machined from solid steel and fits Government and Commander length frames. Blued finish comes ready to go, and the flat housing design maintains the correct 1911 grip angle.
This housing is meant to drop in without alterations. Make sure to secure the magwell screw with a small amount of blue Loctite so it stays put through regular use. You'll want magwell-compatible grips to finish the job properly, since standard 1911 grips have a beveled bottom that leaves a gap. Once you've got the right grips and the housing installed, everything lines up clean.
It fits Government and Commander length 1911 frames. If your pistol uses the standard 1911 frame and mainspring housing, it should go right in. Different manufacturers sometimes have slight frame variations, so test fit is always wise. The housing is machined to tight tolerances for a clean fit.
You'll want magwell-compatible grips with a flat bottom that sits flush with the magwell extension. Standard 1911 grips have a beveled bottom that leaves a visible gap. Flat-cut grips designed for magwells eliminate that gap and provide proper hand positioning.
Yes. The magwell attaches with a single screw on the bottom and can be removed in seconds without disassembling the pistol. Many shooters remove it for carry or general use and add it back on when they want faster reloads for competition or range work.
Use a small dab of blue Loctite on the screw threads before installation. This is the removable strength threadlocker that keeps the screw tight through regular shooting sessions but still allows you to take it apart later if needed.
