dauntedfuture Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just picked up a 9mm 5.0 tactical and I'm very impressed. Factory 140mm mag with spacer gives me 21 rds reloadable and locks open. What combination will give me max capacity with 140mm factory sti mag tubes. I'd like to get 24 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blu46and2 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I can easily get 23 reloadable in 140 SV mags with Taran springs, followers and basepads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Old style SV tubes with Gram's springs, followers and base pads I get 24 reloadable in two mags and 23 in the other two. These are easily reloadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) With the Grams internals and either Grams 3mm or Dawson +1 pad, you should easily get 23 rounds of 9mm, I get 23 rounds of Super with that setup in my Open gun. 4mm pad or Dawson +1 SNL and/or a more exotic follower may give you another round (24) but doubt you would want to load that off your belt on the fly. 4mm or SNL are very likely to not fit the gauge without hack-fu gunsmithing. Don't have a 140 SV for Super/9mm but that may give you 1 more round (or close to it) vs STI. My SV 170 gets the same capacity as the STI 170 but easier to load and "smoother" feeding and cycling, I tend to only use that mag in matches.

Aircooled6racer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hello: Old style SVI mags, Grams 4mm and Bolen spring/follower gives me reloadable 24 rounds and fits the gauge. Cheater 140mm for my open pistol I use old style Dawson +2's and it gives me reloadable 26 rounds but does not fit the gauge. My STI mags hold reloadable 23 rounds with Grams spring/follower, Grams 4mm and fit the gauge. The Dawson "SNL" and Grams 4mm are close but you have to check the gauge. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
