(7 products)

1911 magwells—faster, fumble-free reloads and steadier control for Government & Commander. Brass or aluminum, MSH-integrated fit. With express shipping. ```html

Magwells for 1911 pistols add a flared funnel at the grip, guiding the magazine for quicker, more forgiving reloads and steadier control.

Is a magwell right for your 1911?

Competition and range shooters gain the most—eyes stay on target while reloads seat faster. Carry users should note the added bulk at the grip (brass adds weight).

Fit essentials for 1911

  • MSH-integrated: most 1911 magwells replace the mainspring housing (arched/flat). Verify Government vs. Commander frame.
  • Grip panels: use short/magwell-cut grips so the funnel sits flush.
  • Base pads: choose magwell-compatible pads for positive seating.
  • Frame notes: bobtail frames and some lanyard loops may be incompatible without changes.

Material

Brass

Pros: maximum control, very durable. Cons: heaviest—less ideal for all-day carry.

Aluminum

Pros: light and strong, many finishes. Cons: less mass to calm movement.

Install basics

Swap the mainspring housing for the magwell unit, fit magwell-cut grips and compatible base pads, then secure and test for reliable seating. Recheck screws; minor blending of the magwell (not the frame) may be needed due to normal tolerances.
