1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

@43.6N Thank you for the detailed responses. Might snag one of them tools next time I'm making an order somewhere.

The EB magwell comes in a 25 LPI option (on backorder), but I'm not seeing the golf ball dimple (Chainlink) in blued and honestly prefer the consistency of the LPI with my el-cheapo front strap on the Garrison. I'll probably be snagging that along with the safety when it's back in stock.

I only see the 2 piece. My inexperience has me wanting the one piece... Am I giving anything up going for the cheaper 2 piece?

Sheesh, now I feel old. I searched Ed Brown magwell and came up with 8 ootions, none of which were that... Thanks for helping! Looks like the discount takes it right back to Ed Brown's price.

I missed this post while I was crying in my cheerios over my broken extractor. Always appreciate the in depth insights.

Now from my own experience I could see why woman and new shooters have always shot 45 auto 1911’s objectively better than 9mm other pistols.

As a kid shooting multiple pistols side by side - I always shot a 1911 much better across a range of DA/SA, striker fired, and revolvers. 22 with a dot was the only handgun I shot better. I always attributed it to trigger, that 1911 had a pretty decent trigger - but having shot many of those pistols again more recently, it is definitely more than that.
For what ever reason I got a Glock when I turned 21, a Gen 3 23, talk about taking a wrong turn. Glocks and 40s were the hotness then I guess.
I'm glad I came across this thread and gave 1911's another serious look.

The myth of the 45 auto being such a man stopper isn’t from the 45: it’s from the 1911. If WWI and WWII had been with a 9mm 1911, it would be called the greatest man stopping pistol cartridge in history.

sooo much Fuddlore in those family shooting get togethers "the 45 will knock you down if it hits you in the thumb" sort of thing. That group of uncles were also objectively impressed with a Taurus Judge.... Fun times though.

Just got an email from Optics Planet that my other items are shipping but the magwell should be available in 10-20 days... Seems they were out of stock as well and didn't advertise it.
