I use the Prezine Magwell.

While it does work with stock magazines, the floorplate will be flush with the well when locked in place. I only use extended magazine baseplates with mine.

I have mentioned this before to you, but for everyone else, I actually started using a Prezine magwell on my Glock 35 because it perfectly indexes my hand on the grip. I get a nice high hold and I can draw quickly without shifting my grip. So the speed of reloads actually is a distant second to the grip. Once I used it on my G35, I got another Prezine for the G24.

If your Glock has Glock brand night sights, they are probably pressed in with a staking tool. You ruin the front sight when removing it with small pliers.

IAE, I think I would have Glock "update" you G22 and refinish the slide -- you would have a "new" gun cheap! I can install any sights you like.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:

Re: your magwell. How cool! I like the idea of one that doesn't marr or change the pistol! Please tell me the make of your magwell and where you got it? Do you need extended mag bases to work with it, as with many 1911 magwells?

What I have learned form you is that one needs a different sight set-up for pins than for GSSF. No problemo! I should really set my 24C up for GSSF and paper punching with better sights and possibly a non-ported barrel, and make one of my other guns a pin gun. The second gen G22 would be a good candidate for that. The night sights are about shot anyway and I'm thinking of replacing them. I might do the slide myself with Brownell's Baking Laquer or Alumahyde II. (I don't know how the front sight is attached on mine, but it is a standard Glock night sight. I also don't know how one disposes of used tritium sights!) But I could remove the sights, or possibly have you do it, then refinish it, then add new sights. Why don't we live a little closer to each other?
