The Original "S&A Mag Guide"® is the only one piece patented mag guide on the market place (Patent #4,570,370).
It is one of the most practical and usually the first custom part one installs on their 1911 pistol. It can be installed with ease in minutes with no frame modifications. The "S&A Mag Guide"® increases the magazine opening over 100%. Once installed on the frame it fits solid. No welding required. Adds 1/4" to grip for extra leverage and recoil control. 20 LPI checkering for the maximum grip retention.
Government model will fit all full size 1911 frames including Commander, Delta Elite, Double Eagle, Auto Ordanance, Kimber & Springfield.
I purchased this Mag Well as my first mod to my new Springfield 1911-9mm Loaded and I can't say enough good things.
The fitment is perfect, it adds a good feel to gripping the Handle... more solid, and it looks good.
I didn't expect so many people asking me about the S&A Maxwell, seems more people want to know about them than have them.
Fice minute fix too most 1911's
Excellent product and excellent service from Dawson Percision.....
Another great magwell from S&A. These fit my Kimbers with zero fitting and work great once installed.
Not really happy with the fit at the bottom of gun. Has a space at the bottom that you can see
Best and simplest update
Great product that is truly drop in fit. Price on this was excellent compared to other competitors. I installed this on a S&W 1911 e-series. There is a slight gap between frame and magwell, maybe thickness of a credit card. If it sat completely flush I would give 5 stars. Easy to install, no filing required. Works great and reloading on a 1911 is much more forgiving now!
I've installed over a dozen S&A magwells on various Colt, Kimber, RIA and S&W 1911s. I've even removed other mfgrs magwells to install this one. All dropped in with no issues, one RIA had a finicky sear spring that needed adjustment to make the grip safety engage right. Simple and easy. To me, besides the significant quality, what sets these apart from all the others is that the heel angle (transition from back strap to bottom or magwell) is 90* where most other mfgrs are 45* chamfer. I find this 90* angle gives a slightly longer back strap area, sits better in my grip hand, and avoids the digging into the meat of my palm that the 45* angles do. S&A design also stops the stippling a few thousandths before that transition angle (other don't) which keeps the stippling at that angle transition from cutting into my palm as well. I shoot 200+ rounds per session/match and this detail is as huge to me as the ease of mag changes magwells provide. I also prefer the one piece design over the "bolt on" or "clip on" versions many other mfgrs make.
Easy-to-use website. Fast shipping. Installation was straight forward and it fit beautifully - better than expected! So precise that it looked like it came with my Dan Wesson Silverback to begin with. Very pleased customer.
