Ed brown 2.0 metal magwel - Ed Brown Products M&P 2.0 Magwell

I had previously used the Tyrant magwel because I could utilize the factory 17 round mags without swapping the base pads. Well they don’t work with the 2.0 Metal pistols. So Ed Brown has been my go to for 1911 parts for years.

First off, the quality is too notch and the installation was a breeze. This is a true EDC magwel vs Tyrants, which is more aesthetic than functional.

Second…. The factory 2.0 23 round magazines need to be trimmed off to fit without binding. I removed the base pad and used a cutting board and a new razor knife to trim off approximately an 1/8 inch off the top. Put the mags back together and it’s a perfect fit.

For my 17 round mags I bought the EB +2 base pads which I really like, separate review on those.
