Don’t think they are meant to lock back the slide so they are built without the tab to lift the slide lock. This was also on their website.

reballz Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Mbx, grams or tti follower/springs for 9mm?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jliew08 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 7 hours ago, reballz said: Mbx, grams or tti follower/springs for 9mm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I prefer the grams. I still need to check, waiting on some 9mm mags to come in first, but because the new style mags do not have a spacer I think you are supposed to get the 38/40 follower and not the 9mm specific one. Is this correct? Can anyone confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Can anyone confirm this? I preferthe grams as well. They have been good to me. To answer your question yes. Ive ordered both in the same order and compared them side by side. The 9 version would rock back and forth. Shortersince it needs the spacer. i put that in my old tube. The 38/40 is the one you need. The bad part for me is my pistol didnt like the feed lip dimensions of the new sti. Worked flawlessly in my buddies so i just traded him. For one of his that worked in mine. Im sure it could have been tuned but we were approaching a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs so good I may not upgrade the guts to get rid of the spacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs so good I may not upgrade the guts to get rid of the spacer. So I have the new style 9mm tubes, I installed the 38/40 grams follower/11 coil spring and now my mags hold 23 rounds.

reballz Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 So I put the grams springs/followers in my new bodies, on the last round on every mag, the round dives downward and locks the slide back. And at that point, you have to hit the slide release to send it forward, you cannot just pull the slide back. Ideas??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reballz Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Did you cut the follower so it can't lock back?No, and when it’s locking back, there is still a round in the mag. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You have to take your dremmel and the little tab on the follower that engages the slide stop has to be cut off. It will no longer lock the slide back and every round will chamber and fire. It's almost impossible to have these guns reliably lock the slide open on an empty mag. There is a bunch of videos on YouTube on how to grind off the tab but it's really pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Steele Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'll have to try that. It's not tight at all when loading?Not after spring has been set. Load the mag with 21 rounds for a few days to set it and then it should be fine. I've done five this way and all are 21 reloadable.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Never mind found it 6/7 minutes later thanks Recently some one posted a link and a photo of the mag tuning pillars we all know and love!!! I.E. not in the Dawson kit but separate Can't seem to find that again. Some one remember where that was on the Benos site. Seems like it was in the last week or so.

ncg34shooter Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My new 170 tube with tti spring and follower and 4g basepad gets 29. I have not had a chance to run them through the gun yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to beat on mine forever just to fit a 3g basepad, and that even includes trimming off a little of the back corner of the feed lips just to barely fit the gauge. All 4 of my gen 2s were like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never could get a 4g to work and the 3G took some work to fit the guage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTex Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yep, the only ones I could get to fit the gauge with 4g is the first gen sti tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
