trp Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It came with a Wilson and it works fine but I'm not sure if it was modified or not, I've read about them bottoming out on the ejector? Any body have that problem or should I just get the tripps like all my other 45s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Watson Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 From what I have read, the Tripp Cobramag is good (I like them in my Colt and S.A.) but you need to tell Virgil that you are buying for a Trojan. I don't know if it is magazine catch or ejector location but there is something a little odd about the Trojan. (Broke the ejector in my Colt 1991A1 9mm for that matter, but it wasn't just a Cobramag effect. Several brands would let the top round hit the long long ejector on the way up. I replaced it with a .38 Super ejector which works fine even though the Internet Experts say it should not be as reliable with the short 9mm cases.)

polizei1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Tripp or Dawson. I'm using the Dawson's in my Spartan and they are great mags. I didn't like the Wilson ETM's because of the polymer basepad and follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy13 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I ran the Wilson's and wished I'd gone with trip or Dawson. The Wilson's worked well but they were so tight fully loaded that reloads where tougher than they needed to be. Once I switched to a short ejector I stopped having as much issue but something I wished I'd know about before I bought 7 of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jualdeaux Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Tripps. I did have to call Virgil and get the old style followers though. My Trojan really didn't like the newer dogleg version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who Knew Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've been using the Dawson's with no problems at all besides being a little difficult to unload by hand when full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator11 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 +1 for Dawson. Have had a couple of different brands that hit the ejector during mag reloads. No such issues with Dawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregflier Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I have Tripps for my 9mm Trojan (from Harrison, not Trojan specific) and love them. They feel well made and solid. The gun has worked perfectly with them and round nose bullets (several thousand rounds). I can't seem to get the gun to feed hollow/flat point bullets from any of the full mags I have tried including Tripp. I also like my Tripp .40 mags for my .40 STI USPSA which seem to feed 9mm's fine into my Trojan when I want more 9mm mags. I did need to tweak the edge of all my Tripp mags to insert easily past the mag catch. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregflier Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I haven't trimmed anything. It seems like the base pad stops the mag on the front strap as the mag contacts the ejector. I have bent the front right corner of the mag so it slides past the mag catch better on them all. I have Tripps for my 9mm Trojan (from Harrison, not Trojan specific) and love them.
