At last! Our backordered Speed Shooter Specialties magwells have arrived. We recommend the SSS line (left and right in picture) over all others for SSS’ blend of efficient design and economy. Our No. 1 suggestion is the black steel ESP model. The Carver Custom “Big Mouth” (center at left) is a close second. More expensive, but very well-made and well-thought-out.
John McClain and the “Fattie”
John McClain shoots for Rock Island, and just came out with a little explanatory video about our “Fattie” magwell.
TF Red-Anodize +12, Etched by Gun Point
Not many people know you can get a TF Glock +10 in red-anodized aluminum. Aluminum is harder on magazines than Delrin, but it lends itself to custom colors and laser-engraving. We particularly like the laser-engraved Gun Point logo shown here. Thanks Felex Yuhtman at Gun Point/American Vintage Gun in Bradenton, Florida for the snapshot!
Rock Island “Fattie” Magwells in Red, Black
Just got these back from finish — Rock Island magwells in red and black anodize. We built these to maximize reload speed and protect the magazine release if you set the gun flat on its left side (a typical USPSA “table start”). Although they’re roughly twice the size of the factory part, they’re actually a little more compact than the outlandish designs available for the STI/SV/Para. (Our IT guy, Greg Marshall, nicknamed these the “Fattie.”)
We released our magwell for the Rock Island wide-body 1911 in February. Thanks in part to friends like Greg Purcell and Ben Quinn at Spartan Arms in Bellingham, Wash., this thing came out really, really well.
The photo at left comes from Greg Purcell, and shows his two primary match pistols — a 9mm and .40.
Upgraded 170mm Glock Extensions — Including .40-cal!
9mm optimized +12, .40 optimized +10, aluminum .40 +10 (custom order).
Many of you know our 170mm Glock extension under it’s old name — the “plus eight”. We’ve upgraded the old “plus eight” many times over the years, and this month, we’re introducing a .40 S&W optimized version. 
Thanks to some upgrades, today’s model is a +10 — and takes its place alongside a 9mm-optimized +12. No matter what name you use to describe them, ours have been the go-to “big stick” extensions for Glock jockeys for more than 20 years.
The new variants also include the quick-release “Chludenski cut” locking plate — making dis-assembly and cleaning simple.
