turjake Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hello all, new member here. I just got a good deal on an STI Edge 45 and I'm now wondering about magazines. The gun came with 1 mag only (holds 12). I need some more, and I was hoping folks over here might know what is the best setup for IPSC Limited. These should probably be with the 126mm tube, but what spring/follower/pad combo gives max capacity? (must fit in IPSC box). I looked at faq's but failed to find previous discussions. Thanks turjake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turjake Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 Hello, yes, from Finland. Tzygä might be the guy who got me into this Edge thing in the first place..??? Or then my nick was the clue? if he's seen me... I got tired of shooting my old single stack, especially the short courses were a bit frustrating with 9 shots required. Last time I was in a competition there were 9-shot stages with a chamber-empty start, and even before LAMR I knew I would be screwed.... nothing wrong with the single stack itself but it is not really compatible with current stage design. And its also a good excuse to get a new toy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I am not that guy who sold the gun but I am finnish too and I saw your question in finnish IPSC pages too Timo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I had a SV .45 for a long time and found the SV mag tube to be much better than the STI. I guess you would be stuck with the 126 mm tubes. Someone makes a +1 pad for the IPSC box, maybe Dawson? Try his web page. I also like the red Arrendando followers and his mag springs. Also we have a couple of members who will tune mags for capcity and performance: Triangle Shooting Sports and Grams. Both those guys are outstanding. Try a serch also, I am sure there will be several good threads. Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turjake Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Thanks Nate, I sent some inquiries, waiting for response. I loaded an empty mag tube and it seems 13rds can fit with tuning parts, 14 may be impossible...but I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I really loved my SV .45 and sold it to by my .40. After reading this thread I am going to call the guy I sold it to and see if he wants to sell it back. I always shot lead and it was very smokey but very soft. I could get 16 in a couple of mags (140mm). I was thinking it might make a super L10 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri Burst Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I've used both STI and SV mags and like the SV better. The only STI mag I own is the 10 rounder that came with a Lexor 40. You milage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
