Rifle Configurator Reviews Our P226X Comp Magwell & Basepad

Rifle Configurator just published a detailed breakdown of our P226X Comp Magwell and Comp Basepad — and they got into the details that matter to competitors.

The big story is capacity and fitment. A Mec-Gar 18-round P226 magazine tube with our Comp Basepad becomes a reloadable 22 or 23 rounds, depending on your spring and follower setup — 23 rounds with a Grams no-lock-back kit, or 22 rounds with an 11-coil spring if you want to keep slide lock-back on empty. On the magwell side, they highlighted that it's built specifically for the US-made P226X and X-Five family — frames that other reproduction magwells on the market simply don't fit.

They also broke down where these parts are legal to run: good for USPSA Limited Optics, Limited, and Open, plus IDPA Carry Optics and PCSL Defensive Practical and Competition — but not legal for USPSA Production or Carry Optics, so know your division before you buy.

The review also covers our flush-fit nylon Carry Magwell for anyone who wants a cleaner concealed-carry profile without giving up factory magazine compatibility, and the brass LOK GridLOK grip panels we carry for shooters chasing extra weight low in the frame.
