38super Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Will VIP mags fit a standard STI grip? Base pad issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 No. Too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 You have to cut it down a few MM. I think the VIP mags are 120mm and standard is 126. I've seen it done a lot, and since it's just the plastic it shouldn't be too hard for a kitchen table smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38super Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 VIP base pad interferes with the mag well is what you're saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The 120 mm VIP mags are too short for the standard grip. Trade em for some 126s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38super Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Kommiefornia Have made base pads before from aluminum or delrin. Just need to clear the ice cream cone mag well. Edited November 30, 2016 by 38super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hello: You will have to undercut the grip so the mag goes further up into the pistol so the mag will lock into the mag release. No new base pad needed. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
