Para / Caspian / Other Magwells

For competitors running Para-Ordnance, Caspian, or other custom/less common 1911 and double-stack frames, finding the correct magwell is essential. This category at Shooters Connection offers specialized magwells designed to fit these unique platforms, ensuring you gain crucial seconds and consistency needed in USPSA, IDPA (where permitted), and IPSC competitions.

The Edge for Unique Platforms

Even with non-standard frames, a dedicated magwell provides significant competitive advantages:

  • Tailored Fit: These magwells are specifically engineered for the unique dimensions of Para-Ordnance, Caspian, or other custom frames, ensuring proper function where standard magwells won't.

  • Accelerated Reloads: Like all competition magwells, they create a wider funnel, drastically speeding up magazine insertion and reducing fumbling under pressure.

  • Enhanced Reliability: A perfectly fitted magwell promotes consistent magazine seating, reducing the risk of costly bobbles during critical reloads.

  • Protection: Helps shield the magazine well opening from damage during aggressive reloading.

Our selection includes specialized magwells that meet the demands of discerning competitors using these unique and custom pistol builds.

Selecting Your Para / Caspian / Other Magwell

When choosing a magwell from this specialized category, precise compatibility is paramount:

  • Frame-Specific Compatibility: It's absolutely critical to verify the magwell is designed for your exact frame model (e.g., Para P14, P16, Caspian wide-body). Mismatched magwells won't function correctly.

  • Material: Consider aluminum for lightweight benefits or steel/brass for added grip weight.

  • Installation & Fitting: Be prepared for potential fitting requirements. Professional gunsmith installation is often necessary due to the custom nature of these frames.

  • Magazine Compatibility: Ensure your chosen magazines and their base pads will clear the magwell opening.
