    Kimber magwell vs Wilson vs All Others

    So i would like to get a magwell for the kimber, but i want one that looks good, IE the Gold Combat RL. I dont know whos brand is "better" but i do not want one that pertrudes (sp) out at all. Some that ive seen, IMO looks rediculous when they stick out past the edges of the grip. Help is greatly appriciated. Opinions on Magwells are appriciated too..ie: PROS/CONS

    here is a link to the Gold Combat for thos to look at what im talking about.

    Smith & Alexander magwells are a great product. http://www.smithandalexander.com/guides.html

      ahhh i see the difference now between a "Full" mag well and the ones at the top with a U shape opening. are they a flat color? i know someone on here got a "blued" magwell and it turn out to be glossy.

        just be aware that changing the mag guide will give you an excuse to buy new grips as well.

          Here's an Ed Brown, Feels great and a solid product. It did require some minor filling for the FPS, But it is 100%.

                Stan Chen legacy customs MSH/magwell suite, but it requires welding. It doesn't add anything to the length of the gun unlike the DIY ones that stick out. S&A probably for DIY.

                  I have the Ed Brown magwell with VZGRIPS Operator2 magwell cut on my Kimber Custom2.. Magwell fit with no mods needed and the grips fit like a glove. The only issue is that the I have to remove the magwell when I use my mags for my 22 conversion kit.

                      Do your grips have flat bottoms or are they tapered?

                      Flat bottomed grips work fine with or without the magwell. Tapered work fine, but they don't look good.
