Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to install a TTI magwell on a Glock?

You will need a 3/32 Allen tool for the screws. A towel may also be useful if you encounter a tight fit due to stippling on the firearm's grip.

How do I avoid cross-threading when installing a TTI magwell?

When inserting the Allen tool, angle it slightly downwards to catch the threads. Rotate smoothly without force. If you feel resistance, reposition the tool rather than forcing it to prevent cross-threading.

Can I install a TTI magwell on a stippled Glock?

Yes, TTI magwells are designed to work with stippled Glocks. TTI's own stippling typically leaves enough clearance. For other stippling jobs, ensure there's adequate space for the magwell to seat properly.

What should I do if the TTI magwell is difficult to install on my Glock?

If the magwell is tight, especially on a fully stippled frame, place a towel on your workspace and gently tap the magwell onto the frame until it aligns with the screw holes. Avoid excessive force.
