  1. It depends if you have a small frame or a large frame. 

     

    For the small frame, you will only get 19 rounds with an Xtreme base pad. 

     

    As far as I know, there are now aftermarket springs and follower available for small frame to get more rounds. 

     

    For large frame you can get 22 rounds if you use the Xtreme base pad in combination with a spring+follower kit from Gregory Midgley.

    But 22 is very stiff and it probably will not be reloadable. 21 rounds you can get for sure with this setup. 

    If you are using only the Xtreme base pad with original spring+follwer you will get 20 rounds.  

     

  2. I bought them directly at factory online shop: http://www.tanfoglio.it/shop/xtreme-line/xtreme-parti-and-accessori/caricatori-xtreme/xc003-caricatore-limited-cus-xtreme-small-frame-clone-2.html

     

    I added grams spring and follower kit from Henning but as far as I know, they don't have them anymore. But in Europe, you can get them from http://www.ipscteam.ch/shop/specials/grams-engineering/

    You can also contact Gregory from http://ipsc4you.com/ He also offers a spring/follower kit for extra capacity.

    1) Have you looked at your magazine release and associated spring?  Maybe some dirt got in there or the spring has gotten weak. 

    Yes, I compared the magazine release to my other 3 Stock II. I look like the same. 

    2) Perhaps something deformed the magazine release inside the magwell where it catches the magazines and all you need is a new mag release. 

    I think the problem has nothing to do with the magazine catch.

    3) Have you found 1 particular magazine having trouble dropping free or are they all hanging up in the gun? 

    I have 4 magazines with the same setup and it happens to all of them.

    4) How clean is your feed ramp?  Is there a lot of carbon build-up from too many firings between cleanings?

    This was my first idea, but cleaning everything well was not the solution.

    Someone on the "Tanfoglio Universe" Facebook group told me to increase the OAL of my rounds. Currently, I load them to 1.13. I'm afraid that there is not enough space to increase it more than 1.14 due to the spacer of the K40 mags.

     

  4. I have a Tanfoglio Limited Custom .40S&W with an IPSC box conform setup. I use K40 magazines with Grams spring/follower and Xtreme Base Pads. This setup holds 18 rounds. I didn't cut off any coils and the springs are new. 

     

    Unfortunately, I ran into an issue that prevents the mag from a free drop. After firing a round the top round in the magazine travel forward and stuck on the ramp. See also picture below.

    I already polished the underside of the slide and broke the edge on the front which catches the round in the magazine.

     

    I have no clue what causes this issue.
