I got my answer on another thread. I used an Uplula to load all rounds into the magazine. After 12 rounds, using the Uplula I just pressed right down about 10 times. After doing that, I was able to get another 6 rounds in the magazine.

You were absolutely spot on. I used an Uplula to load all rounds into the magazine. After loading up 12, I pressed down about 10 times, after which I was able to load another 6 rounds. Many thanks!

I'll give that a go. Thanks.

No. I got the standard follower.

Just purchased a number of the MBX 126mm .40 mags, with the angled base pads (for IPSC) but I can only get 16 rounds n them!?

I've just purchased a some MBX mags for my 40 STI. As I shoot IPSC they are the 126mm with the angled basepad. However I only seem to be able to get 16 rounds in them, whereas all the commentary on the mags indicate I shoyld get 18, maybe 19.Any ideas?

Thanks everyone for their input.

When I compete, I have a couple of pairs of 5.11 Tactical pants, which are excellent. I'm looking to get another pair specifically for RO'ing. As a result I'd like to get a pair that are as LIGHTWEIGHT as possible. Anyone know which "model" of 5.11 pants are very lightweight?

I've come to the same conclusion. Just ordered a single Dawson Precision and a single Double Alpha base pad to see how they go.

Yep, I have depressed the rear site - still doesn't fit... just.

Getting my DVC Ltd to fit the IPSC Box: I shoot IPSC Standard division, which requires the pistol to fit the IPSC box. I am using STI 126mm Mag tubes, Grams Springs & Followers with SVI +2 IPSC Base pads. The pistol, with a msg inserted doesn't fit the IPSC Box by about 1mm. A bit much to think about taking material off the base pads to make the pistol fit. I think my best bet is to replace my rear sight with something low profile. But before I do anything, I thought I'd see what other DVC Ltd owners have done.

Update - issue has been registered with STI via the local agent. Sending my DVC to the agent so he can see for himself. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I understand that, but I don't have this issue. It doesn't explain why this is my only pistol having this issue.Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Correct - should be a hard chrome finish. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Due to some renovations, I placed all of my "toys" into storage at someone else's house for safe keeping. It included an AR and shogun in one rifle case and 6 pistols in another. I have since taken possession again yesterday and was putting them away and I noticed quite a bit if rust on my near new STI DVC Limited! All of the other pistols were absolutely fine - except for the DVC. Rust was found: - on the rear sight - on the rear slide serrations - in the DVC Limited engraving Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
