Branwilder Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I am in the same boat. I have narrowed my choice down to the new para or the sig. Is anyone one running ten round mags? and is so do they fit in the ipsc box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman93 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Get the Trojan CRP from Dawson. Magwell, sights, and mag release are included. Wilson 47NX mags with Wilson ETM extended base pads. I picked one up a couple of months ago. I also had them fit an ambi safety. It has ran flawless through a couple thousand rounds already.

BBQDawg Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I just got in the new Sig in .40. Paid just over $900 for it. It shoots very nice and is very accurate. Loaded rounds at 1.220 OAL. Won't fit in the mags that came with it, but they run in my .45acp Wison ETM's just fine. Have left it with a gunsmith to add fiber optic front sight and magwell, plus deactivate the grip safety and adjust the trigger to 3 lbs. Been shooting single stack in .45 and just wanted to try .40 for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Mine runs colt delta elite mags, wilson 40 mags and wilson 47 45 mags. The 40 is very nice compared to 45. for reference been shooting 45's for 40 years!! Wow that was tough to write!!! IT was a hard decision to go 40 but glad I did. Yes I still shoot the 45's a bunch but the 40 is sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm also close to buying a .40 1911 and want to use it for SS major. Are the .40 shooters buying the 8rounder mags or is there even any reason to buy the 9s to compete? No need right, except maybe one to have your Barney round. Oh BTW, someone ask about the new Sig .40 that's out this year. Saw one a few days at the LGS. I love Sigs, but the finish was a little strange looking. Has exterior extractor. the finish reminded me of the finish that's on the CZ 75 TS if you've ever seen one. Almost looks like silver paint...but not. They're priced right though. It will be interesting to see how they perform, being they're just out new this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9 (or 10 round) Tripp System mags are easier to seat during a reload with 8 rounds in them that an 8 round mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what the guy ^^^^ me said about seating the mags Edited May 19, 2014 by deerassassin22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks to your guys advise, I've been researching the 10 Round Tripp System .40s at Dawson and Shooters connection and I think you're right on. Seems to be the best route to go. I'm really hoping the 10 rounder will work because I'd like to also have the option to shoot Limited 10 Major, BUT still use these for SS Major. Does anyone have a picture of what the 10Rnd Tripp System mag looks like in the 1911. If it's too "goofy long" I'm worried that maybe it might be too much (length wise) to make efficient mag changes especially if SS Major is mostly what they'll be used for. So my point being...my investment for 5 new mags ($200 plus), I'd like them to be practical for not only SS major but also Limited 10 Major. Don't want to have to make a second $$$ investment for an additional second set of 5 mags for the other division. Anyway, so again, a picture would really be cool if anyone has one. Thanks guys.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Ohh forgot... regarding the "length/look/function" of the Tripp System 10 rnd mag, I forgot to mention (see above comments)-there will be a Dawson ICEWELL on the new .40 1911. I presently have that Magwell on my 9mm DW Pointman PM9 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Don't have photos handy, but the system mags barely stick out the bottom of the ice magwell. My only concern would be with functionality with 10 rounds in the mag. I got a set of these system mags recently and they worked great with my Trojan, with one exception. Whenever I loaded the mag to max capacity, there were some feeding issues with the mag. The first round wouldn't always feed. I'm curious if others are able to make them work reliably when loaded to 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, I'd like to hear about that feed issue too...for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Interested as well in any pics of mags in ICE magwells or details on mags for a .40 SS. Just ordered a CRP Trojan from Dawson and need to get 7 mags. Was thinking 10s but want to make sure they will fit the SS box requirement for USPSA. They would only be loaded with 8 anyways but figure with the Dawson ICE magwell it would be good to have a little sticking out to get them seated well.

BillD Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 10 rounders won't fit the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 These are the ones I was looking at and they say they will as they are trimmed. Anyone else run these? http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000112E-1388518298 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yes, if Dawson says they will fit the box, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 ...ditto that Rob01. That's the exact mag I'm looking at, and yes Dawson Website says that "particular Tripp 10 round Mag model" will fit the box. Shooters Connection also carries that mag and has a little write-up about it fitting the box. Just ordered my Dan Wesson .40 SSC (man they were hard to find!) Should get here by this Friday. I'm pumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The 10-round system mags (trimmed by Tripp) had no trouble fitting the box for me at Single Stack Nationals. I used them in a .40 Trojan with a Dawson No-Gap Ice Magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good to know regard the fit. Thanks. So tbarker13...is there anything else to be known about the "1st round hangup" when loading 10rounds you were telling us about. Did you resolve that yet? I'm wondering if a call to Dawson might be a good idea to address that problem. Dawson is great about tuning their mags. Maybe you could send them back and have them tweaked?

Rob01 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I ended up just going with the 9rnd "Corey" mags from Dawson. I guess they use the 10 round body and hybrid followers, which are supposed to be very reliable. They should work well and if I find myself using it more in IDPA I will pick up 3 of the 10 rounders. Main reason for the Trojan is SS in USPSA and can't load more than 8 for major anyways so the 9 round mags will work fine. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000112F-1388518298 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to switch them to hold 10 all you need is the metal follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Good to know. Thanks. I know they used the 10 round bodies but wasn't sure if it was the spring or follower that changed it to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Will the Corey mags work with a Dawson no gap magwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Will the Corey mags work with a Dawson no gap magwell? Mine do. When I ordered them from Tripp, I told them I was going to use them with a no-gap magwell. They modified them so they would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually in the process of changing guns. I'll do a little more work with it at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
