Magwell for Kimber 1911

Ed brown 1 piece. Expensive but awesome curves and workmanship. Just replace magwell with it.

So, I installed the Chen SI magwell and a new set of VZ grips today. The grips texture is too aggressive for me, but they look good and that Chen magwell looks and works great. I love that it is a one piece design .

Nice choice, be sure and show us how well it matches up with the existing magwell bevel.

Smith & Alexander is my go to. There is usually no fitment involved past trimming on the grips depending on what grips you have or get.
Brownells.

Smith and Alexander are as close to drop in as it gets.

Sometimes there is a bit of blending needed but yes they are very nice pieces.

Thanks for the pictures, the fit is even better than I expected and the unit is longer towards the front than the typical S&A as well.

Thanks S&W and DSGT. I was pleased with it. Now the next step is to try to get the frame and magwell chromed

I'd send it to Mahovskys Metalife in PA.

I will look into them. Thanks! I had a grip frame that I had Metaloy'd many years ago, and it wears unbelievably well. I have b3en reading some things about Metalife, and everything so far that I have seen is good.

I used to send a lot of guns to metaloy years ago for the tacticote finishes when those were new, i'm not sure they're even still in business, I can't find any type of internet presence for them anymore. Mahovsky's has a very good reputation, I recently sent them a nickel hi-power to have the finished removed for a project and they were easy to work with.
