Does anyone know where I could find a magwell adapter for a Warthog? Or any double stack 1911 for that matter??

Would like to get a bit more grip length on a project gun and was thinking that this might give me that ±1/4" that I think I need.

Any help would be appreciated! :)

In general, magwell funnels aren't needed on the double stacks because the top of the magazine tapers diown to single stack width/thickness, leaving plenty of daylight around the magazine as you insert it.

There is a company that makes sleeves to fit over the longer Para mags to allow you to use them in the shorter pistols. I don't remember the name of the company but I'd bet the adapters are in Brownells' catalog. Adapting a P12 magazine for use in your Warthog (which is just the updated P10) would probably provide about the amount of extension you're looking for.

Hmmm ... allow me to clarify. You can use longer magazines with NO adapters. What the adapter sleeve does is fill out the gap between the magazine base plate and the bottom of the grip frame to the same contour as the grip frame, rather than leaving you with a short handle and a gap between that and the base plate.

If I remember right, it is King's who offers these mag wells for PO.

Pardon my ignorance, but could you post a link to their site?

Hawkmoon is correct that the mag extension would give me the grip extension that I need but there are magazine issues specific to my pistol.

TIA,

Wganz,

If you go to our Home Page, and look in the Parts section, you will find King's name. Right next to it, there is an "A" in a red circle. Click on it (the A), and you will get the full contact details of this company (or any other company with an "A" next to its name.
