Who makes the one in the OP?
-
P365 for carry. Rifle for home defense. Enjoy the Maurader as is
-
The front of the pad is flush with the magwell, and the rear sits about 0.250" proud. You can see the angle of them in the picture on Dawson's site pretty well.

Wasnt took hard to take apart and get back together but do you cut off that extensions on the second picture so it will fit the RIA? Or is there a vendor who makes an ambi safety that does not include that section.

Not sure on whether or not anyone makes safeties with that retainer style.
If not, I would just replace the sear pin with a standard one (or modify yours) and then add the notch to the back of the right side grip to capture it. I think you'd have a easier time with that versus trying to retrofit a right side safety designed to be retained by the grip to be retained by the extended sear pin.
-
The sear pin has a little notch in it that the safety gets captured by. You pull the left side out first, then rotate the right side up and out of the notch of the sear pin and remove it.
I actually like that method more than the ones that are captured by the grips.

Hello, I have the ice mag well. With the base pad I showed above they stick past the mag well enough to be certain the mag seats! Do the Dawson’s do the same and stick below a little?
Thank you
I forgot to check last night, but I think they are basically flush with the magwell when seated. I've never had an issue with seating mags though. I will confirm tonight.

No, I need them at .635 for my Dawson mag well
What is your setup? I run those basepads on CMC Powermags in my Sig Max that has a Dawson ICE standard gap magwell and it works perfectly.

Honestly. b4 you jump into 2011, it would be smart to build a few 1911's first. watch all the Mosin Virus vids and get all the other goodies Matrix Precision and all the other tools..... I'm on # 11 of 1911's and #3 2011 I have the BM aluminum and the L10 all stainless with grip..... With jigs and all the smith tools it's easy to spend between $2.5k and upwards just for tools.
What's the deck height like on the BM frames? I know you used to need to use a shim with the L10 frames on the Matrix rail cutter because the deck was short, but I hear that's not the case anymore? I reached out to BM asking about deck height but never heard back.

I guess my last questions is would the Henning pads or the Legion pads work on the ACT Mags? I'm hoping yes?
Yup, they are basically identical to factory mags.

That'd make sense. They didn't mention making one when I emailed them, so I'm guessing it was discontinued. with the RIA being gaining popularity, I'd have thought it was a design worth keeping in the inventory. :::shrug:::
Seems like the ended all the Para stuff about 2 years ago.
I remember buying the toolless extended basepads from them brand new back in 2016/2017, and then when I tried to get more in early 2018 they were discontinued.
-
Which 226 Legion submodel did you go with?
ETA nevermind, I missed the part in the OP about USPSA Production approved
-
I'm curious to see how the optic mount works, re: ejection and maintaining zero. It's basically an Open P320.

Thanks. I think that's where I'm at. the cost of a slide isn't that big in the grand scheme of things for doing it right the first time I guess. I'm looking at a JEM slide I think. looked like for bare slides there were only a few players right now. is there a better option?
Depends on how much you want to spend.
Fusion and TR-Enabling (Remsport) sell blank slides. Same with Caspian.
I think RIA actually sells a 9mm bull barrel slide with LPA sights, like the .40 one your gun came with. Check Hooper Gun Works out, they sell a lot on their site and on Ebay.
Or find a pre-cut slide at Shooter's Connection that you like.

Doesnt look like they have the extended but they have +0 easy off pads still. Those were the ones I was looking at.

Ah okay.

I've never tried running a 9mm barrel on a .40 breech face so I can't comment personally.
The location/size of the mag catch hole is slightly different on the Para and STI pattern mags. MBX Para mags are going to be for the Para style mag catch, but the Dawson is STI pattern I think?
I could never get my Rock Island running on STI mags, even with a conversion mag catch designed to run STI mags in a Para gun. The mags that come with the Rock Island have modified feed lips compared to a standard Mec Gar Para mag, and they are a hair longer too. It took me a while and a lot of filing to get the standard P16 Mec Gar mags from Greg Cote to run right, because I couldn't find any more Rock Island tubes at that time.
That was in a .40 gun, I don't know if 9mm is easier or not.

These look cool thank you! Toss up between these and the dawson easy off

If you change to an extended basepad where the follower goes down inside of it, you will need the Arredondo insert and you will need to modify it so it doesn't bind with the spring.
I had to file a fair amount off of the Dawson pads, and a little bit off of the Arredondos. My factory magwell was also opened up a bit with a file. With Arredondo spring/follower/insert I could get 21 or 22 into the mags with Dawson pads and like 19 into the ones with Arredondo pads.
I thought Dawson discontinued the Para pads a year or two ago?
-
Are you changing the slide or just running the 9mm barrel on the .40 breech face? I know there are mixed opinions about that.
Might be worth seeing if it will run on STI mags. Some of them do just fine, some don't. Some run fine with a conversion mag catch, others don't. May be cheaper in the long run.

I spoke with another Sig rep on 03/20/2020. Was told they would be now sending me 30 mags at their expense and I would return the problem mags for them to evaluate. I will be conducting some more tests next week on the range to get some verifiable and repeatable data regarding the problems mags. My sister agency in the next town over have not reported any mags issues with their P320 (40, Full), however, they've cited that they have had some barrel/chamber tolerance issues that which they had to send guns back to Sig to be fixed and or replaced.
That's a much better response from Sig than their first one

My buddy bought one locally close to a month ago. Not even from the Pro Shop, just a gun store.

I have a full size .40 set up for Limited
It's 45.6oz with the TX grip plus an unloaded 14rd mag w/ Springer 140mm extension.
19 or 20 rounds with Grams internals in the mag.

After I got hung up on when put on hold, I finally reached someone who said if I can send them photographic evidence they would swap out the barrel or I can send in the whole gun and they would test it and if they thought it was an issue in their opinion they would swap it and ship it back. Of course there’s no guarantee, he said. I would rather not ship the whole thing because when they ship it back I would have to be home to sign for it. (I’d have to take a day off.) So now I have to go back to the range, risk damaging my optic because I cleaned it already of course, take photos, email them in, and hope they approve the swap.
CZ and many others never treated me like this so I’m probably getting rid of it even after my expensive TSA trigger work, taking a loss, and saying good bye to Sig. There are too many other good options out there and I don’t have the time for this. Probably post it for sale soon. Maybe the next owner will have more luck with Sig.
Just grab a pic off of one of the threads on here and tell them it's yours

Another vote for DG for me. The ogive profile allows a longer load length, and they're super consistent in shape and weight so your ammo ends up as consistent as your brass is. I tested several other manufacturers and profiles and got the lowest standard deviation with DG 124 RN's
P320 X5 bullet 124 or 147??
in Sig

3.9gr of either Sport Pistol or N320 under a 124gr DG round nose at 1.125" shoots the best for me
