Picked up a Loaded Springfield this weekend (and I'm LOVING IT!), and I think I want to put VZs on it.  Two questions.

1. Which S&A mag guide will fit with them better - the standard or the thin one?
2. What color looks better on black (I know this is personal preference, just want to see some opinions) - Green Canvas or Blasted Black Canvas?  Pics would be great, too.

I just ordered the green canvas, Gator Back^2 for my kimber with SA magwell.  I can't tell you how well they'll work because my order was just placed.  I like the green on a blued gun.  They are very accomodating.  Give them a call and tell them what you want, and they'll tell you how to get it.

I've got green canvas on my Kimber and really like them.

I've got black canvas on a parked Springfield.

I love 'em...never notice them...that means they're working

I prefer the black/green linen, but the blasted black canvas is my second favorite.

Yeah, the black/green linen are my favorite, too, but you can't get them in the Gator Back 2 with the square bottom.

Hey guys, I've got a few of the green-black linen full size magwell cuts left over from a custom order I ran a month or so ago. If you want them, email me since they are not on my website. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

The Standard


What color looks better on black (I know this is personal preference, just want to see some opinions) - Green Canvas or Blasted Black Canvas?


Both greens look good. The Blk Grn Linen is a darker tactical green, almost pine green. The GRN Canvas is more the OD in color.

Actually, the green canvas come close to matching the MagPul shade of coyote brown.  

Regardless of whcih color yo choose, they look and especially feel great.

The feel of these are truly unique and effective, plus they look great too. VZs are on both of the 1911s I carry.

Looks like the od green canvas is the ticket for a blue pistol and the black paper is the ticket for a stainless.

I just got a set of green canvas ones for my SA 1911. I'll try and get a pic up tonight.

I'm very happy with them.

the one things I don't like about these is that they can tend to look sorta dingy as they absorb hand sweat.

I got them Tuesday.  Today I got to use them.  They are freakin' awsome.  The feel of the micarta is like nothing else.  And, they came with a relief for the MSH pin that doesn't fit flat on my gun that's only on the frame side, so it doesn't show.  They are very nice and very well done.  Highly recommended.
