If you’re running a Springfield SA-35 or a Browning Hi-Power, you know that fast, clean reloads can make or break a stage—or a day at the range. This low-profile magwell gives you a larger, colosseum-style funnel at the frame entrance, so your mags seat smoother and quicker with less fumbling. It only adds about 1/4″ of length to the grip, keeping the gun compact enough for IDPA ESP Division use (with Apex 17-round mags). Best of all, the engineered interface works with the factory frame bevels on the SA-35, so you get better magazine-to-frame alignment without a bulky, oversized funnel.

Key Features
- Minimal bulk: Adds just 1/4″ to overall grip length for a near-stock feel.
- Smoother reloads: Larger funnel reduces the chance of catching the magazine basepad during insertion.
- Simple install (SA-35): No frame cutting, welding, or permanent modifications needed—just hand tools.
- Durable build: Machined from billet StressProof steel with a black oxide finish that holds up to holster wear.
- IDPA ESP legal: Fits the box with Apex 17-round magazines.
Install Difficulty: 2 out of 5
On the SA-35, this is a straightforward job: remove your grip panels, place the magwell, and reinstall the grips. No filing or fitting required. For BHP and Girsan frames, you’ll need to do minor filing to the frame’s grip area—plan on about 30 minutes with a small file or Dremel. Basic hand tools (screwdriver, file) are all that’s needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my factory Springfield SA-35 without modifications?
Yes—on the SA-35, it uses the existing frame bevels. No cutting, welding, or permanent changes. Just swap the grips and you’re set.
Can I use standard Hi-Power magazines with this magwell?
No. The magwell is engineered to work specifically with Apex 17- or 19-round magazines. Factory SA-35 or standard Hi-Power mags won’t seat properly.
Do I need to buy new grip panels?
We recommend LOK Grips panels made for this magwell. Standard grips may not fit correctly due to the magwell’s shape.
