Dawson Marketing Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) We don't typically release photos of prototypes but we'd like your input on some new upcoming products. We're thinking of offering this pattern on the bottom of our EZ-Off Baseplates. What do you think? -Chet Edited December 16, 2011 by Dawson Marketing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It looks good,BUT, I bet it would get full of dirt and or maybe mud if anyone shoots in the mud,but what do I know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Mud is mud, it will get into anything you drop in it. I think it looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Junk will get into just about anything but it looks like it is not too fine of a checkering that it could be easily wiped out. The finer the cuts/checkering the harder it is to get junk out of it in my experience. Neal in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 We're thinking of offering this pattern on the bottom of our EZ-Off Baseplates. The usual engineering questions rise to the top of my mind. The first being what advantage does it bring? What is the problem that this will solve? I have seen people put grip tape on the sides of the mag to make them easier to strip out if they stick, but I'm not sure that a knurled base will add that much to the design.

jdphotoguy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 It looks cool and all but, pull that out of your mag pouch and slam it into the gun several times typically per stage and I bet your palm will start to look like hamburger.

Arredondo Glock basepads are available as smooth or checkered, although not as aggressively so. But I'm just not sure what the checkering adds - hence my question.

Sarge Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I no longer shoot a Glock but I would make up a handful of them and send them to some forum members in different parts of the country and let them use them for 3 months or so in all conditions and see how they fare.

Outsydlooknin75 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've got both Arredondo and Dawson pads on my Glock mags. I like the rough texture on the arredondos as it gives some grip on the palm when inserting a mag. I like the Dawsons for the weight added it helps drop mags faster. I think a medium knurl a little finer than what's pictured would be nice. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run griptape on the bottom of my baseplates. I prefer the checkered Arredondo basepads to the smooth -- simply because I've had my hand slip off, before the mag was fully seated.... A checkered option would be nice on Dawson bases as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDevil Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Some texture can be useful, but that looks like it was modeled after a meat tenderizer and my palm is tender enough. Call it a tactical strike plate and I'm sure you could sell a ton to the tactical crowd. I'll stick to your smooth offerings w/some grip tape.
