    SLR Gen 5 G19 Magwell

    Received the magwell today after snagging it up during the Presidents Day Sale. I had high hopes, which may have resulted in what would become a disappointment.

    The magazine well is exceptional at expanding the width of the magazine well (already expanded for gen 5). Where the magwell is deficient is at the front strap.

    I have never been bothered by the grip cutout due to the high grip I make on the pistol, I did not buy it for the sake of covering it up. The way SLR designed the magwell in this area of the pistol, in my opinion, ruins the entire purpose of a magwell (smoothening out things). There is a shelf that the grip sits on that should have been blended in with the lower part of the mag well.

    This genuinely confuses me. Why on earth wasn’t this contoured better? This, combined with the size of this “compact” magwell is a no-go for me at this time. She is is thick with 2 c’s.

    I just picked one up for a Gen5. I likr it, but not sure it is - both price wise, and functionally - better than the Magpul version on my Gen4.

    The "ledge" is a sloppy solution to accommodate gen 5 base plates.

    right now it's looking like Overwatch's new Gen 5 magwell might be the best solution.
