triplesinglestack Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 anyone using the SJC Bigstick in .40? for the open glock? I am curious if it is more reliable/easier than the +8 extensions on the market? and how many it will hold? and if I posted in the wrong topic, mods feel free to relocate, thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-10_shooter Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 SJC offers a 40 big stick? I thought it was only the modified 31 round mags for a 9mm big stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 The SJC product is going to be good stuff no question. I can fit and assemble 2 mags for the same price. And as the old saying goes..."if I can do it..." Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello: Use the Taylor Freelance base pads. They work great for 9mm and 40 big sticks. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if it is more reliable/easier than the +8 extensions on the market? and how many it will hold? and if I posted in the wrong topic, mods feel free to relocate, thanks Jason John at SJC is only making big sticks from glock OEM 33 rd. 9mm mags. He says that the after market .40 big sticks are not made to the same quality as the 33 rd 9mm big sticks. (Glock does not make a factory .40 cal. big stick).Except the new 22 rd .40 cal. Use the TAYLOR FREELANCE 170mm extensions instead. They work great and hold 24 rds. Edited December 8, 2010 by sweetback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Glock does make a 22rd .40 mag now though, I wonder if you can make a big stick from that if there’s a problem with the TF extensions. Maybe put an extension of some sort on it to get it from 160 to 170mm. Then put a wolf 170mm spring in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hello: The Taylor Freelance +8 on a Glock 17 tube will hold 28 rounds that are reloadable. That is the easiest and cheapest way to go. It also fits the gauge. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72stick Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sounds like you guys race the Glock. I've been thinking about moving into a Glock open gun next season. Trouble is, I don't really know where to start. I spoke to Steve at SJC about a home build major kit and he said he can do a .40 or a 9mm. Should I buy a new 4G, Glock 35 or try to find a used beat-up G2/G3 donor gun? I have a 9mm 33rd mag. What does it take to mod it for .40 S&W? Thx!

The feed lip dimensions are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 How many rounds does the SJC big stick hold in 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruStreet Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have 4 and they all hold 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOvalBruin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 reloadable? Any advantage over the standard mags + the TF extensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruStreet Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I start with a Barney & 28 in the mag If I have to reload I reload a 140mm that holds 22 reloadable. The Taylor ones work, I just like to keep it simple & have all my mags with the same base pads to make cleaning easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGlock Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have the Taylor basepads... I love them when they function flawlessly.. And that's about 99% of the time.. Every so often I will get a misfeed on one that sends the round at a 12 o clock position.. Not sure if there is a fix for that or some tuning.. Not trying to hijack thread but if some one has a fix please advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruStreet Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Have you filed where the mag & the base pad meet? Another thing is to down load by one round, That was what I had to do when I was running the Tayor base pads.

Graham Smith Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Glock does make a 22rd .40 mag now Anyone know what the length is? Is it short enough to be legal for limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not short enough for limited. I think it's about 160mm or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing is to down load by one round, That was what I had to do when I was running the Tayor base pads. I have not filed the mag.. Where does the filing need to be at? Photos would be very helpful.. I have tried downloading by one and will get it sometimes. Mostly get this problem about half way through the magazine.. Is it the spring that is binding on the mag?

You have to bevel the front of the base pad. I don’t have the Taylors any more So I’m sorry can’t take any pictures. I used a finger nail file only took a few mins.

Ok i have taken a photo of the magazine... Should I file the areas in the red square to make them rounded? I took the spring out of my magazine and reinstalled the base and looked inside and see that the front edges may have a lip where the two pieces meet. In my photo the areas that are in the red squares seem to need some filing.. I just want to make sure that this is the area youre talking about...

BlueOvalBruin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I can't comment on the basepad or mag mods but you can tune the followers to work better with the extended basepads. Instructions are on the Dawson Precision website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlock Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks blue! Appreciate that! I will check it out and see if this is an issue.. I don't tend to have trouble getting to the capacity of the mag but more trouble with it feeding after the first three or four rounds have been fired.. That round tends to stick upward at a 12-2 o'clock position.. This making me unload and clear and then reloading to shoot again.. Kind of a time killer during a match...
