1911 full size Magwell grips
1911 full size Magwell grips
The 1911 full size Magwell is a flared magazine well extension (or integrated mainspring housing) commonly added to the classic Government model 1911 pistol. It funnels magazines into the grip for dramatically faster, more reliable reloads—especially under stress in competition, tactical, or defensive scenarios. Popular brands like Wilson Combat, Stan Chen Customs (e.g., SI "Shooter Installed"), Ed Brown, and Bullet Proof offer drop-in or custom options in steel, often checkered for better grip. Benefits include larger target area, reduced fumbling, and enhanced control, though it adds slight length/weight and may impact deep concealment. A staple upgrade for competitive and custom 1911 builds
The 1911 full size Magwell grips by Gun grips X Svechnikov Workshop were developed as a fusion of tradition and modern craftsmanship. Inspired by the iconic 1911 platform, the workshop focuses on custom grip panels made from carefully selected hardwoods, including maple, walnut and exotic species. Each set are dyed and finished by hand, with attention to grain, texture, and ergonomics. Through constant experimentation with visual patterns and tactile feel, these custom 1911 grips enhance control, comfort, and aesthetics for enthusiasts and collectors alike
