Mag Well Recommendations?

[Kg4mon]

Hey Guys,
I posted back a couple of months ago about converting a .45 single stack into race gun. I got some very good advice from this forum and just started shooting limited class. Now I'm hooked. :D I am now building a double stack race gun from a springfield frame that I had laying around. My Question is this, What type (brand) of mag well would you recommend? Thanks Rick

I'm planning to put the S&A Para magwell funnel/mainspring housing on my Springfield hi-cap. It requires removal of a small amount of the magwell (frame), but no heavy cutting or welding. S&A also makes partial magwell funnels that require no frame mods.
This is Rob Leatham's Limited gun (actually, from a couple of years ago), fitted with the S&A part:

I vote for the Dawson Ice.

The Dawson Ice magwell it trick...use them on my STI/SV gun and you flat out don't miss..

The Dawson is really nice, it is going on my next two guns. My current limited gun wears an EGW aluminum magwell, it works great too. The reason I am going to Dawson Ice from the EGW is that the EGW looks like it was attacked by crazed beavers after a year of matches and dry fire, it is torn up!!!

O.K. I guess I will go with the dawson ice, I have heard other people talk good about them too. Just wanted to get a second opinion. Thanks Guys, Rick

O.k. guys, I need some more help here. I decided on a Dawson Precision Ice Magwell but the sales staff say they don't have one to fit a springfield armory 1911-A1 Double Stack Frame. :mad: I would like to find one that doesn't require a whole lot of gunsmithing. Any other recommendations? :confused: I am trying to finish this race gun before the weekend. All I like is the scope mount and the magwell, other than doing the parkerizing on the frame and parts which will come later. Thanks Rick

I thought the SA double stack was about the same as a Para.

[Kg4mon]

If it is that would be great!!!:D But I don't know.

I'm confused is this post about a single or double stack 1911 magazine well? If its a single stack the SA is a drop in part. The SA magazine well for Para requires the frame to be cut/modified.

She's a double stack.
