New K9 mags -- can I get more capacity with what I have

[RUSHARP2]

Just started shooting a 9mm Match in 3 gun, and need more than the 17 the factory mags give me.

I have a couple questions with regard to getting more out of the new mag with what I have around.

I have about 10-12 40/10mm mags all set up as 21 rounders, and wondering if anyone has cannibalized parts to increase a 9mm mag. I have a bunch of H-141 base pads, and I believe I have a h-500 base pad. I also have extra grams followers and 11 coil springs.

So has anyone used a H-141 base pad with a grams kit and have it work for more than 17? With this give me 22-23? Am I crazy for thinking about this?

Not opposed to buying what I need, but thought if I have it laying around no need to spend extra money.

Thanks.

Nealio should jump in soon since I believe he's got the H141 pads on his K9 mags.

I know I got at least 24 into the old style Tanfoglio 9mm mags with H141 pads on them.

I run a 9mm limited for 3 gun. Same magazines as the match. I get 23-24 rounds

Yeah I you can throw the H-141's on the K9 mags.

Go to the Tanfoglio forum (http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showforum=202), and you can find a ton of info on this.

Here is a thread I wrote describing what you have to do to run the stock followers (with longer springs) http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130633&st=0&p=1472065

Or you can run the Grams 9mm follower/spring combo. Both get you 23+1
