razerok1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The key to max capacity with stock followers is finding elusive #5 followers. Banks So the #5 followers are the key? Are there aftermarket Glock followers? I think arrendondo makes them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 make sure if you run the arredondo base pads that you check them. Alot of them have been known to not fit the gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesd99 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have done some research while I have been here at work ALL evening ( SHhhhhh ) And razerok1 you are right, Arrendondo does make followers for the Glock. But, I was thinking is 1 round REALLY going to make a difference??? Whether you have 19 or 20 in the mag, you are going to pretty much reload at the same time. All 5 of my mags are 19 re-loadable. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rack&roll Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I run Arredondo extensions for my G35 and I get 20 rounds, reloadable in each magazine. Never a problem with them at all. I've seen some Dawsons have some issues with capacity. Check to see if the spring and/or follower is binding on something as it is compressed down when loading rounds. Z- +1. I have the same results. Never a problem getting 20 reloadable in my (gen 3) G-35 mags with Arredondo +5 basepads. No follower mods, either. I did have to shape the outside of the basepads to work with the brass "The" magwell, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dravz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Your right- I have a dozen mags for my 35- with Dawson base pads and springs. Seven get the 20 in them with no problems- using Dave's method of reducing the followers- and they seat and feed no problems! The other- only 19 rounds, no matter what I have tried! A friend found the same thing. So he got 5 new ones the other day- and presto-all held 20 and worked. How many can you fit if you don't reduce the follower at all? 18? 19?

Poppa Bear Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have 2 mags that are 20 round loadable at the start. I have 4 mags that are 19 round reloadable. Of these 4, 2 will hold 20 rounds but I do not consider them safe to consistently seat during a reload so I down load them to 19 rounds. It is nice have mags capable of holding 20 rounds at the start because shooting a 20 round COF with 21 rounds available (20 + barney) is better than exactly 20 available (19 + barney). I do not consider a mag loadable or reloadable unless I can get at least 1/2 of a bullet diameter of free space when I push down on the top cartridge.

ernieb Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I just ordered some Dawson basepads and they should arrive today. I plan on using them for 3 gun. How many rounds are you getting in the 9mm mags? Reloadable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 23 in the 9 mm mags, 22 reloadable, have had some stoppages starting 23 + 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I get 20 in mine using bases from ARRENDONDO. And are reloadable. Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieb Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I received 3 basepads and even with the bevel on the follower I could only get 22 9mm in the mag (reloadable). I might be able to stuff the 23rd but it is WAY tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernieb Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Tested my 9mm mags today with the Dawson base pads. All 3 mags locked open with one round left in the mag. Any idea on how to get the mags to work correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
