All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

They are OK I guess but most REALLY serious trainers advise against add on magwells because they make inserting a magazine without a bumper pad almost impossible. Could cost you a stage in IDPA or IPSC or, your life on the street. I don't have them on my guns and won't have them. Mr. Murphy lurks everywhere.

Re: new product
I have no need for a magwell on a CCW.

Nothing wrong with magwells, it's all a matter of personal likes and dislikes.
I have big hands, I prefer magwells because the little bit of extra length adds to a stable grip.
I've been shooting for 42 of my 60 years.. In 'Nam and as a LEO, it was with what was issued to me. These days, I go with what suits me and what feels comfortable to me.... not on what anyone else might or might not have an opinion about. I will listen to the opinion and advice of others, but will always defer to what my experience tells me that is best for me.
I have magwells on several of my Kimbers already, and I am converting the rest as retirement funds permit.
I only use Wilson magazines, all have bumper pads.
For the OP, I would hesitate to use the grips you asked about. I would not want to take a chance on the rubber 'magwell' flexing at the wrong time.
