chp5 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Last I heard, the jury is still out on these replacement tubes. Any one tried these lately in hi cap .40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have 4 with Arredondo extended base pads and springs with stock followers and they all work. The followers are trimmed fore and aft quite a bit and they still don't stick up as high as they do in Glock tubes but so far they have worked. I don't know what kind of longevity to expect since I have only been running these for about a month but so far so good. I am really surprised at how crappy they look. The surface is rough and kind of bumpy in spots. It is sad that they couldn't make one that looks and feels like a Glock tube. So far the bumps don't seem to be causing any problems. YMMV, -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overmolding is *hard* and *expensive*. Scherer probably only has one mold and they've done all their R&D on it - it's probably a miracle they can mold parts off it at all.

rhino Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Didn't Scherer actually make magazines for Glock years ago (with the Glock imprints)? I know that if you compare their 33rd magazines with Glock 33rd mags, it's tough to see any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4444 Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 The two I had did ok for a few matches then started having all kinds of malfunctions feeding. it ended up being the feed lips,,,,they were slowly spreading open. In the end, I got so aggravated with them, I chucked them,,,,,couldn't even practice with them they were so unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have never used the replacement tubes, but have pushed a good bit of ammo through their super hi-cap mags without a mag related failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Cy, I have a one that Bill gave me that looks brand new that I will give to you if you want to try one. I have never tried it and probably never will. Glocks are for Production.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasag93 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I have one for my 35. I have had no problems. They are not "drop free" Metal in mag is thin and only three sides. Mag bulges when loaded and doesn't consistantly drop free. Don't try the Dawson extened base pads on them. They will fly off. Guessing because of the lack of metal in the bottom half.
