I added a few things to my G20. I've never had so much fun with a pistol. I think I'm going to take the decal gips off. With 20+1 rounds of full horse power 10mm, it fells like your holding on to a belt sander. And if your wondering where I got the magwell for $50.00, Ebay.

Wicked cool. How about adding some night sights and/or having Mag-Na-Ports put in the end of that 6" barrel? Extended slide stop?
Rock on.

The nights I thought about. I was also thinking a carver mount with a nice optic, or a Jpoint or DRoptic. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Having used both J-Point and Docter sights (albeit mounted on an M4 carbine), I'd stay away from them. You need to use the removable cover to turn them off, and they just aren't as "good" as a more solid/dedicated optic. I'd put an Aimpoint or something similar on the G20 if you're going to go the mount route. That would also damp recoil (extra frame-mounted weight) w/o subjecting the optic to the battering of a 10mm slide moving back and forth.
Also, would you mind posting a shot of the inside of the magwell w/o a magazine inserted? I'd like to see what it looks like inside the funnel and well.
Thanks.

Thanks for the advise. I will take the pic, and post it today.

Here is the pic inside the magwell.

Thanks for the pic. I notice that the actual magwell of the Glock seems to protrude into the opening of the steel magwell (ie, the inside of the magwell at the top is larger than the opening of the pistol's magwell).
Have you had any snagging or catching of the mag or feedlips while conducting speed reloads?
Also, how snugly does it fit? Any play?

I have not done any speed reloads with it. I don't have any snagging or catching problems. I don't plan on using it in competition. It has a little play in it. It definately does not fit or perform like my ICE magwell, but it serves my purpose. I wanted a SS magwell, but did not want to pay $150 for a Novak. I got lucky, and found this one on Ebay. The one thing I can say is my grip feels a whole lot better with it on. If I was going to shoot Competition, I would probably go with Novak, or wait for the ICE magwell for large frame Glocks. It is just a rumor at this point that they are going to make them, but they are well worth it. I can't speak from experience on the Novaks, but if you go to the Brian Enos forums, look under the Glock forum, and there is a thread on large frame Glock magwells. It has a lot of info. I hope that helps.

A chromed extended slide-stop/release lever would look good on that.
