1911 Magwell

[TheJuggernaut]

Recently bought a Springfield 1911 Loaded Stainless. Love the look and feel of a 1911 equipped with a Magwell. Looking to buy an Ed Brown 1911 Auto Drop-in Maxi-Well. Looks like a pretty simple and straight-forward install. My question is whether or not I should also replace the Mainspring too while I am at it? Not really sure what this would gain me. I noticed they "also recommend" an Ed Brown 1911 Auto Competition Mainspring with the Maxi-Well. Any advice on this?

I don't see any reason to replace the mainspring, unless it's time for you to replace the mainspring.

I recently bought a used Kimber and replaced most of the springs because I didn't know the history on the gun before I bought it, just for a little piece of mind. If yours functions fine now I wouldn't even worry about changing it.

Personally, I'd get a matching mainspring/magwell. You don't necessarily have to, but I would. Wilson sells them as matched sets. In fact, they have a one-piece mainspring/magwell as well. I'm looking at adding that to one of my Kimbers.

I guess I forgot to mention that the gun is brand new. I haven't even had a chance to take it to the range yet to fire any rounds off. But I love the feel the Magwell gives on other 1911's I have held and shot. The Ed Brown is a one-piece drop-in.

I recently install an EGW bolt on magwell and I like it a lot, it also has a great price $50.00 and was really easy to install so I would highly recommend it.
