The Edgar Sherman Design Glock Magwell enhances your reloading with a purpose-driven flare. Every curve, every angle, and every feature on the ESD Magwell is intentional and aligns with our mission to enhance a shooter’s capabilities using human-centered design. Featuring symmetrical side cutouts for stripping magazines, the ESD Magwell allows for the easy removal of flush-fitting Glock magazines as well as those that have an extension. Additionally, a third cut-out is located on the front of the ESD Magwell. This third cut-out is especially useful in low light/ no light conditions and serves as a reference point for the shooter and allows them to focus on the task at hand rather than worrying about fumbling a magazine during a reload. It can also be used as an additional access point for stripping magazines.
The ESD Glock Gen 5 Magwell allows for a greater margin of error when inserting a magazine and eliminates the potential for parallel surface contact by using a combination of wide angles countered by harsh angles. It will even “course correct” the magazine back on track if it is ever inserted at an off-angle. The angles on the outside of the ESD Magwell flow seamlessly with that of your firearm and create a nice shelf for your hand while simultaneously not creating any hot spots.
The ESD Magwell is proudly manufactured here in New Hampshire and want to support American manufacturing as well as our local community at every opportunity. For us, It’s important to not only source a quality product but also work locally with those we trust to maintain strict quality standards at every step of the manufacturing process. The ESD Gen 5 Glock Magwell is made of high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum and includes all the hardware necessary to mount it.
The ESD Magwell is currently available for full-frame Glock double-stack Gen 5 pistols chambered in 9mm and .40, with support for other handguns coming in the future. Gen 5 Glock 19s have a different angle from full-frame Gen 5 Glocks where magwells interact so a different version is required. We are developing a Glock 19 Magwell and this will be available shortly for those who want to use our Magwell on Glock 19’s. The ESD Magwell can fit on a Glock 19 but there is a risk that your mags won’t drop freely depending on the tolerances of your frame and magazines so at this time we recommend waiting until we offer the G19-specific Magwell. Glock 19X’s can use ESD Gen 5 Glock Magwells but require modifications to the 19x frame and although the 19x states its a Gen 5 handgun its frame is that of a Gen 4 so for best fit in the future we recommend using our Gen 4 full-size magwell. Edgar Sherman Design LLC is not liable for any modifications made to your handgun. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded and ensure you have properly cleared your firearm before installing the ESD Glock Magwell.
Below is a list of Functional magazine extensions that are known to work with the ESD Magwell. This list is most up-to-date with our CS team so if your magwell isn’t on the list feel free to email us at contact@edgarshermandesign.com for updates! The list below covers what we know to work, we are looking at design changes to accommodate a larger amount of baseplates but timelines for changes are unknown and our prioritization was for Glock OEM baseplates and extensions upon launch.
- OEM Glock baseplates and extensions
- Parker Mountain Machine Baseplate for Glock
- Landers Weapon System
- Arrendondo* (Small amount of sanding on the corners required)
- SLR Rifleworks
- Shield arm extensions on OEM mags* (Must back out the pin that holds the extension in place)
- Odin Works
- Train With Purpose
- Jagerworks Engineering* (minor rubbing /wear towards the inner rear portion of the Magwell, mag locks into place)
- Taran Tactical* (will push down the baseplate retention pin and scratch the back of the Magwell. With modification this can be prevented, email CS for more information)
