Well worth the extra money!(06/09/2011)
I bought one of these from Nighthawk before they were offered here.These dropped right into my springfield and caspian frames.A little stone work was needed on my Ed Brown grip safety as it was rubbing ever so slightly.Very nice fit and finish.You wont find a better magwell.
excellent part(03/04/2014)
this part is awesome. it looks good, fitment is VERY good, helps with my reloads, etc.
i replaced the ILS on my SA LW Champion Operator with this and there's a few things:
first, i thought the one i ordered was going to be a gunsmith fit, if it was, it didn't need fitting. the fitment is 99% perfect, and the only way to fix the 1% left would be to weld the part so it can be filed down.
second, the edge of the magwell doesn't leave a lip on the frame. i will likely blend the magwell to the frame, but i don't NEED to, that's just asthetics.
third, it doesn't protrude as much as i was thinking it would. i have this mounted on my EDC gun, and it doesn't print any more than before.
overall, i really like this product, and will likely order another one for the next 1911
this also works very well with Chip McCormick magazines, Wilson Combat magazines, and Tripp Research magazines, as well as SIG, Nighthawk, and Kimber magazines. 10 round or 8.
Awsome(10/03/2012)
After reading the last review on brownells about this product I was a little nervious about getting it. I have had many NHC products and can say they have always been top notch and after installing I got to say I am totally impressed. Fit and quality we outstanding and was very easy to install. NHC again hats off to you for a great product.
Totally awesome product here.(30/03/2012)
Fit pistol perfectly and took very little time to get a gap free fit on the bottom. Any "gunsmith" worth his bluing salts would know that any 1911 frame is a mixed bag when it comes to these housings. It has very nice machine checkering as well. It was nice to not have to go over the checkering like I do with every cheap, cast magwell that people love so much. It is a bit pricey.
FLUSH FIT ON DAN WESSON SPECIALIST(25/07/2015)
Flush fit on Dan Wesson Specialist. Dan Wesson original magazine well guide continually came loose. Nighthawk part solves this problem. Nighthawk magazine well is cut at a more efficient angle than Dan Wesson factory part. Less weight on the Nighthawk part appears to have improved overall balance of pistol during drawing from holster and presenting. Only CON, minor fitting to remove small material burr inside pin hole of part.
Great Mainspring Housing(28/09/2012)
Housing fits up and has correct depth on Colt Government 1991. Checkering is crip and clean. Nothing bad to say - works perfect, great quality.
First Class Part(21/12/2012)
This part dropped in to my Kimber TLE II with great ease and no fitting. It looks like it was made with my gun, and feels great in the hand. Finish and cuts are excellent. Very well made part.
Excellent Part(14/03/2013)
Bought two of these to replace the curved mainspring housings on a couple of Girsan 1911s. Dropped right in with no fitting. Excellent fit. They look beautiful on the pistols and very much improve the grip and point of the pistols for my medium-sized hands. Nice checkering, very well-made. Easy to install. Allows proper engagement of the grip safety with no fitting. Highly recommend.
Great Product(03/04/2015)
Just installed this on a Colt Combat Commander. Some minor fitting, a couple needle files & stoning, no big deal. Looks & handles great. I've got a couple Norincos I've had for some time. Going to get the same treatment.
