I just purchased a colt officers model from a site member who had wilson do a stealth sds build on it The gun is super nice tight and functions without a hiccup of any kind. The problem I have is its a little to short in the grip for me to get a firm hold. Would a mag well help and who would do this.( I know most smiths wont work on guns already done by others)Or would I be better off selling/trading and go for a commander?

I too find the Officers model grip to be too short, so I added this Smith & Alexander mag shute to my Wilson CQB and like the feel (and looks) very much. You certainly don't need a smith to install it. Just order one from Brownells or Goggle them anbd order direct. About $75.00. It will solve your problem. If not, sell me the gun.

Heres the rub. To properly install a magwell of any kind it must be blended to the frame which will cut through your hard chrome and require removal of the chrome ($50) and rechroming ($100) + shipping back and forth from the plater ($75). That isn't including the cost of the magwell($65), fitting ($75) and shipping to and fro your gunsmith($75).

Unless you want a $500 magwell , you should just sell that gun to me! LOL

Well, thats a bit of an over statement I think. Blending is nice but in my experience, unneccesary.

Me thinks Anthony just lusts after your gun.

If you want to add a magwell you can just "drop on in". If you want to do it right, you should send it to Wilson's and have it blended

Did you get that Colt from Det45 about a week ago?

Sell the pistol or put a finger hook extension on the magazine.

I'll take it.

I just picked up a stock Enhanced Officer's Model. Like my gun, but I love yours! It's a beauty...

My daily carry gun is a Colt Enhanced Officers ACP in high polished stainless. It has been reworked by Wilson Combat for mechanicals and Marianne Carnick for checkering... and bling.

I added a Wilson mag. well which is polished to a mirror finish like the rest of the gun.... is it blended??? No.... But

I have white Colt logo ivory look alike grips on it (from Ajax).... which I trimmed to fit flush with the mag. well.

Does it look great and function perfect???? Yes!!!!
