Most Helpful Positive Review Fit's Like a Glove!
I just installed my new Ed Brown Flat/Chainlink III 1911 Two-Piece Magwell in my Colt 1911 from Optic Planet's sister website Dvor.com. Took less than 10 minutes and all you really need is a couple rubber bands, two punches (1/16 and 3/32) and a pair of safety glasses. If you really want a finished look, you might opt to purchase new grips that are flat, not beveled on the bottom. I am sticking with my factory originals for now. Very happy with texture of mainspring housing, overall fit and finish. Would highly recommend.

Tisas b45r carry

by Adam, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on July 6, 2024
I wasnt sure if this would work in my tisas but it fit just right. The only thing is, is it didnt work with the factory beavertail so i bought the ed browns beaver tail to go with it, to keep it one brand know they were made with eachother. You can make the magwell work with the tisas grip safety but you would need to "fit" the magwell(grind down the mating surface the so grip safety can come up more).

Fantastic upgrade

by eagle10, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on August 26, 2022
Easy to install. Changes the feel and makes reloads much easier. The funnel/mag well blends in very nicely with the existing frames. Replaced the existing grips with magwell cut grips which makes the finished product look much better.

Dropped Right In

by Kommiefornia2ABeliever, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on December 9, 2021
A true drop-in part, no fitting required, mainspring housing fitted very well in my Sig 1911 without any wiggle. Also great it is a two-piece option, it allowed me to aligned the magwell to the magazine port. A little loctite 242 and it stayed put even after 100x magazine insertions. Also it looked great mitigating the awkward look of the extended 8rd magazine base plates. I liked it so much I bought two more for my other 1911s.
Pros:
  • GREAT PRICE
  • Looks great
  • Great Fit
  • works well
  • installs easily
Cons:
  • None

Great Magwell and Main Sprign Housing

by SFOWeekendWarrior, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on August 22, 2020
I put this on a Springfield 1911-A1. Went on with NO modifications. Not even any filing to break edges - NOTHING!

As for fit, it is great! I have large hands, so I was glad to get rid of the beveled, stock main-spring housing. I also like the added length with the magwell. Overall, fit and finish are top of the line as expected for Ed Brown products. I am buying a second for my other 1911.
Pros:
  • Great fit & finish
  • No modifications needed
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Great quality

by Kevin, from CA, United States Written on March 29, 2020
Same great quality I have come to expect from Ed Brown. These are the only arched mainspring housing maxwells available other than the overly sized Smith & Alexander ones. They are attached with a bolt on the bottom so make sure to use Loctite if you decide to remove it and then put it back on.
