Request for Magpul

[aandabooks]

Just sent a request for a D60 style drum magazine for a 9mm Glock to Magpul.. I think it would make an awesome option for long field courses in PCC.  For what we are paying to get to 41 with a TF extensions going to 60 for about the same price would be awesome. 

 

If you want to see a product like this, send something to Magpul.  Maybe if they hear from enough people then they will consider it.

Hello: You do know that by using a TTI, Dawson or Arredondo base pad you can get 37-38 rounds with no spring change on a Glock 33 round mag? I think it would cost a lot more for a Magpul 60 round drum mag. Worth a try to see what they say. Thanks, Eric

[aandabooks]

TF and a 33rd Glock mag will get 41.  With shipping the total will be around $90.. I just bought a D60 for my AR for $103 and free shipping.  Almost 150% more capacity for another $15 or so.

If you don't already own a bunch of Glock mags, it would really be nice to have a 9mm drum option that actually works. I tried the Korean version and it was a joke. In another thread there's a discussion about the new Taccom connector. It combines a pair of Glock mags into one long mag using the original springs. It costs about $30 and there's free shipping on any order over $25. I paired up one of my Glock 33 round mags with a G17 mag I have from my TTI G34. It not only holds 50 rounds I used the TTI extension off the G17 mag on another of my 33 round mags. Now I have 2 higher cap mags. One holds 50 and the other holds 35 rounds and they both make my GMR-13 run like a sewing machine. Oh, and I put those mag bases off the two 33 round mags on my G19 mags to increase my carry mags from 15 to 17 rounds. It was like a win, win, win for my PCC and carry gun.

If Magpul made a D60 for the Glock platform, I'd buy a couple.

[aandabooks]

I'm running ETS with TTI on them.  Stick gets a little long and I'm thinking a D60 would not extend as far for the tight areas.  Plus it would look cool.

Are yall really shooting stages that have a round count anywhere near 60? I thought my 33 rnd with the TF extension was overkill.LOL

[aandabooks]

No but why not.  Once a year one of the clubs I shoot at has a truck match.  Usually 110-120 rounds in the course of fire while being pulled by a tractor in a trailer.  A D60 would come in handy.  A 32 Rd steel stage would be another great use.

I'd prefer the more compact nature of a drum over having a walking stick hanging out of the magwell. Me personally.

I have the Xproducts 50round 9mm AR drum. I won it, so I didn't have to spend the big price for it, thankfully. I've yet to use it in a match.

+1 on the magpul 9mm drum..I'd buy one. Coupled 33s are cumbersome. But I think it would have to be in the same price point as the d60.

Hello: One for Colt mags would be good also. Thanks, Eric

They had a 50 round stage at the sns400 last weekend.

I got one of those splice things from taccom for my mpx. Seems to run fine. I'll be running it at the truck match in November.

I picked up one of the TF extensions with the extra spring, it wont run on my Brownells Colt mag.  Don't know the problem.

Tommy: Does your mag have the Metalfom follower or the ASC plastic follower? If the TF base pad does not go on all the way in can have a shelf that the follower and spring hang up on. Take the spring and follower out and then install the base pad. Look down the mag to see what the transition looks like from the mag to base pad. You may have to chamfer the base pad to smoothen out the transition. I am using Metalform Colt mags and they work very well with the TF base pads. I did have a problem with one mag since I did not have the base pad on all the way. Once I installed it all the way on it runs great. Get the Taccom coupler and join either two 33 round mags or a 33 and a 20. They both work great for me. A Colt 50 or 60 round drum would be great! Thanks, Eric

Thanks for the tip Eric.  I did relieve the lip on the base pad.  Still getting some nose dives.  My follower is metal, and the mags are Brownells.  They run fine stock.  I am at a point that I may pick up a MPX anyway, I just hate to spend that kind of money.

Have you tried the mag+extension with the stock spring?  That's what I use and haven't had any nose dive problems.

I saw one of the Korean 50-round Glock drums run flawlessly though a match last weekend. I have heard others say they are crap. Maybe play the ROK Drum Lottery?

 

Last year I also saw a prototype 50-round drum on the Black Dog Machine booth at the SAR Show, but that is still not available so maybe the design is more challenging than first thought.

Seems like they are very heavy - 1.5lb unloaded?

Tommy: Don't buy a MPX and end up spending over $3000 before you are done. I am using the Wolff Uzi extra power springs in some of my mags. That solved the problem when running the TF base pads on some of the mags. The other mags run fine with the stock spring and TF base pads. Thanks, Eric

[troupe]

I agree.  My rifle is a SBR, so I would keep it anyway with the suppressed upper.  The rifle runs great, accurate, and paid for.  I will get the mags figured out.  I need at least one high cap mag that is reliable.

[troupe]

I have tried the mag both ways.  The springs that I purchased were from TF.  I do not know who's springs they use.  Most likely Wolf.

[StealthyBlagga]

TF 41+1 kits for Glock mags have been 100% reliable for me.

 

TF +10 kits for Colt mags have been good too, though I had to try different mag bodies to find a reliable combination.

Exactly what I was thinking.
