2011 for ESP

[Suff]

For those of you that run a 2011 in IDPA and have fit a magwell to it, make mags do you use? I didn't think you could run extended mags in IDPA and it seems like the regular mag would be too short and be "recessed" up in the magwell.

Thanks in advance.

I use Rescomp and SV mags with Dawson international wedge pads to fit the IDPA box...

SVI magwell and (for my 9mm 2011 - ESP gun) SVI mags with Dawson or SVI wedge basepads.

I use the same combination but STI 126 mags with my .40 when I use it for ESP and STI mags for my 2011 - .45 for CDP.

I use a Krebs magwell with a 126mm STI mag. Fits in the box. It can be a pain sometimes if I need to strip the mag out. I am now experimenting with the 126 mm mag using Bolen pads.

Same here, I use the 124MM SV or 126MM ST mags with the SVI Wedge base pad.

I have used stock STI's and Dawson preped STI's but use SV's now for both 9mm and 45.

As for what has to be on the bottom of a mag, you can put anything you want on there as long as it fits in the box and is not "weighted". Adding a little weight with an aluminum base to replace plastic doesn't seem to be a problem.

I ended up using an STI magwell with Dawson wedge baseplates. Milled the magwell down in height and width to fit the box. Eveything seems to work well with the set-up. We'll see how it does in a match this weekend.

Thanks for the help.

Yes that's the one.

I will get a few pics tonight.

I milled the bottom of the STI magwell about an 1/8" then took about an 1/8" off of each side. Fits in the box with room to spare.

Neater than most.

But the wide well and tapered magazines make reloads easy on the bare gun.
