z40acp Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It is just a STI magazine with a Para mag catch slot. You can do the same tricks you do to regular STI mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 These are STI for para mags that STImade years ago. BTW: this is for 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerPast Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mine is full at 18 rounds. I stop at 16, just for a little insurance for reliable feeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mine are good with 18. Just wondering if anyone has got more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elynch2007 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) Most of mine will hold 19 reloadable and still fit in the gauge. Some older SVI mags will also work and will hold 20 reloadable still fits in the gauge. All have feed very very well for me. They are stainless steel and are a lot harder to tune(resquare), but lips stay tuned for years. When loaded up these mags are harder to seat than Para mags. Forget all have Grams 4 MM basepads.

elynch2007 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I use 11 coil STI with one coil cut off and STI followers with the spring tabs sanded down some. Need to square the tubes to fit the gun so the tubes will drop out with a spring or follower. Also need to open up the notch on the rear to fit the Para so the slide will not drag.

mattwaage Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Someone was saying to run 126 mag bodies and para basepads to get 21 reloadable but it had to be filed a bit to fit the guage... If only the search function would find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 19 with grams base and guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
