Come on now, do mags really need to be tuned

HS Smith Mags. Nothing is better. They work excellent in all three of my open pistols. Unfortunately Howard isn't doing them at this time. I was lucky to get four of them. I have SPS mags and STI mags also.

I guess the reason I dislike dropping a tuned "30"round mag is the price I paid for it!

If I think I can make the entire stage with 31 in the gun I use it.

If I think that I might need an extra I use a untuned(for capacity) 170 that holds 28 and know my reload point which is normally going to be with a 140. Yes I KNOW I can reload them faster cause my timer proves it to me.

You can tell me that there is always a place to reload and I will tell you it's faster if you don't have to. The timer proves that also.

It may be a minute difference but it can add up over 10-15 stages.

But you can do it however you like!

So it seems I have already dumped the cracked Grams basepads, I have however taken pics of a spare one I have to illustrate where the crack develops. YOu need to bear i nmind that I only use 170mm mags and the cracks obviously start when the mags are dropped on the floor, hence my reasoning for a metal pad.

they tend to develop on the thinnest part of the plactic where the u clip can be seen. It has happened on 4 of the 5 that I had.

Bevin has always cheerfully replaced any cracked base pads that I experienced
