Purchased a few mags from Big Tex Outdoors a few weeks ago. I didn't need to contact customer service at all but they did ship my products very quickly and the products were packaged nicely as well. Will continue to order from Big Tex Outdoors in the future.

There is a whole list of frame modifications that are legal in production... Heard back from Troy. Magazine release bevels on Glock frames are allowed in production. Would have been nice if this was clearly defined in the rules. However, it is in fact legal.

I have actually clipped the spring into the follower but the loop in the spring is so oversized that it causes the follower to bulge at the sides. The bulge then does not allow the follower to travel freely inside the magazine and will actually limit its movement so much that the slide lock will not engage in 2 out of the 3 magazines that I have. Its a very odd problem as it seems as if almost NOBODY has issues with TTI pads, but I have had issues with all 3 of mine. Again, I changed over to the cut down wolff spring and have had no issues so far.

Hello everyone. I was able to locate a thread or two where people reported issues with their TTI basepads but not much info in the form of updates for fixes or remedies. I run TTI +5/6 basepads on three separate Glock 17 mags. With the TTI spring, the follower will eventually get stuck about 3/4 of the way down the magazine. When I load the mag to capacity (22 or 23 rounds), after about 6-7 rounds are spent the follower will get stuck and basically the remaining rounds will be sitting inside the mag with no spring pressure. I can dump all the remaining rounds out of the magazine by simply inverting the magazine and the follower still wont return to the top of the magazine. I will have to remove the basepad entirely to "reset" the follower. I have since changed to the Wolff +5% springs originally intended for the Glock 31/33 round mags and have not had any issues so far. Of course I cut about 5 coils from the Wolff springs before installing. I have noticed that the TTI springs wont "clip" or "snap" properly into the factory follower like the OEM spring or Wolff spring does. I am wondering if this is the reason why the TTI seems to bind sometimes and cause the follower to get stuck? Any additional info would be great. It seems like 99.9% of people have no issues with the TTI basepads but I find that hard to believe as all three of mine gave me issues consistently before the spring swap. Thanks everyone for the info.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I did send an email to Troy for clarification. When I hear back from him I will update this thread. How long does it normally take for Troy to answer an email?

Thank you for the responses. I will send an email to Troy when I get home. Is my conclusion correct that appears that texture or stippling is ok on the little pad where most shooters rest their thumb on a Glock? It’s just that it would transition into being prohibited if a “shelf” or mini “*thumb rest [generic]*” like shape were created on that pad? Thank you everyone for the clarification.

Hello everyone. I am new to USPSA but have shot IDPA as well as various other local competitive shooting events for the past few years. I also have prior law enforcement experience. I am trying to make sense out of the recently effective (May 2018) USPSA Production Division rules. I have done some quite extensive research in an attempt to locate a definitive answer but have been unsuccessful so far. I am thinking this is possibly because the changes to the Production Division occurred so recently. My question would be is a magazine release bevel or relief legal in the Production Division? 21.4 Reads as follows: Grip modifications such as, but not limited to, undercutting/smoothing the trigger guard, adding or removing finger grooves, or adding stippling, grip tape, or checkering are allowed. Replacement grip panels are allowed provided they do not extend below the butt of the gun to form a make-shift magwell. Revolver grips may be replaced with OEM or aftermarket grips of any shape, profile and surface texture. Special Notes/Clarifications: See 22.2, below, for specifics with regard to modifications on revolver grips. 22.2 Reads as follows: Grips Non-OFM Grip modifications (addition or removal of material) that provide function such as a beavertail or thumb rest are prohibited. Revolver grips may be replaced with OFM or aftermarket grips of any shape, profile, and texture. Adding or removing material to change the profile of Revolver grips is specifically allowed. Common sense would tell me that it would be allowed as 21.4 states "such as, but not limited to" and a magazine release bevel is along the same lines as undercutting/smoothing the trigger guard, modifying finger grooves, etc. 22.2 mentions that thumb rests and beavertails are strictly prohibited. Again, common sense would tell a person that adding a beavertail or a thumb rest is in another classification of modification as opposed to the modifications mentioned in 21.4. Seeing how it appears that a magazine release bevel is more closely aligned with 21.4 as opposed to 22.2, would this modification be legal? Also, I want to confirm that my interpretation of the rules is correct for forward "accelerator" cuts on Glocks. My understanding is stippling or texture on the pad that is forward and above a Glock frame's trigger guard is legal in the production division (area where many Glock shooters rest their support hand thumb on the frame). However, a reduction of material to create a thumb rest or "accelerator" cut on the thumb pad seems to be a grey area for production? Thank you everyone for the assistance. I promise I did my best to research before posting but I wanted to get a definitive answer to my question.
