Very nice piece OS!

Thanks! Remember that you will need to do some bevel work in order to line up the bevel of the magwell and the frame. It takes a couple of minutes with a 1/4" sanding wheel on a Dremel. I used a white crayon on the frame to get the angle etc.

As a side note, my new PistolGear "Operator" took 4th Place in ESP Expert at the Tri-State Regional in Memphis, TN on Saturday.

I recieved mine today and it installed easily after some simple dremel work on the "notch" in the grip receptacle. Quality piece of work and a
beautiful fit! I would love to use it in a match I'm shooting this weekend but I'll need the slam pads before it's competition ready. Very pleased!!

Thanks! The "notch", for those with newer frames, is the most extensive portion of the fitting. For me, I spent 10 minutes or so with a Dremel, blending the bevels of the frame to match the magwell. Now, they are on in the same; smooth.

I am glad you like the magwell. As for getting good, it was the last match I have shot in three years. Even my buddies commented that my brain farts were uncharacteristic and my accuracy was non-existant. It was the first match of the season, so it can only get better.

How long before we will be able to order the slam pads for the Operator magwell? I just ordered the Operator today and realized I'll also need the pads

The Slam Pads are due in towards the last week of April.

OS,
Any word on when the Pachmayr pads will be in? I have them on BO as a temporary solution until your slam pads are in.
