echotango Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 From what I can see, the TTI are the easiest to take apart? Anyone have experiance with the TTI, TF, or Springer. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domineaux Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 TTI are very easy to take apart and are terrific. The Springer Precision are still very easy to take apart and I like them for +0 use with the SSS ESP magwell, especially for being so reasonably priced.

echotango Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Thx. I would be using them for production, so not looking for extended. Looking at the springer also, they have reg and short. Edited June 4, 2016 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 For Production I use... factory ones. I just dremel the duckbill off the front and leave it with a squarish profile. Hard to beat free, and they come off as easily as anything else, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 SSS makes a great +0 basepad that is just as easy to remove as the factory option. They are aluminum and nicely profiled for fast grabs when reloading, As mentioned above, paired with the "ESP" magwell also from SSS, they make a very solid system.

echotango Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I ended up getting rid of the duckbill as Memphis mentioned. No magwell as I use it for production. Edited June 8, 2016 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsk Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 For 140mm TTI is the way to go. For +0 its a toss up between SSS and Springer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddc Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I purchased some Apex/10-8 basepads. I wish I had not spent the money. I don't see what they give you that you don't get from the factory basepads with the "duckbill" dremeled off. Yeah, they are supposed to have some magic base pad retention system but as far as I am concerned it is a pain in the a$$ if you want to clean your mags quickly in the middle of a match. For the cost of five you are half way to a dremel. Just buy the dremel, cut off the "duckbill" and you will have it available as time goes by for all sorts of other projects.

mpeltier Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Why are you grinding the lip off the basepads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeOfToren Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 In my days of shooting MP9s, the Springer basepads are the best - easiest to take off and put on. They are legal for both SSP/Production and also fit well for ESP with magwell. I also had TTI and SSS basepads. They requires screws which I don't like.

MemphisMechanic Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Why are you grinding the lip off the basepads?Not the lip around the sides. That stupid duckbill on the front of the factory pads. Cut it off, sand the edge smooth, and practice reloads for a week where you draw the magazine by resting the index finger on the front of it... and the front of the basepad in your palm.Now switch to a magazine with the duckbill, and you'll immediately hate the way it cants the magazine in your hand. I've also accidentally caught that lip on a mag on my belt while drawing the magazine in front of it, and had it fall to the ground during a stage.

I understood what you were refering to as the "Duckbill" portion of the lip. I use and have used many other types of mags and really never found the M&P mags that big of a deal. They are differant though, i can see why some people wouldnt like them after reading your explanation. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
