mnpfamily Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Are these the followers? http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000784-1388518012 Yes sir, those are the ones. I believe the SKU # was 033-001, picked mine up from Shooters Connection. I'm using them with the EZ-OFF baseplates (+300) and a Cameron's magwell and they seat with 10 in the mag. Still stiff, (mine are brand new mags), but not impossible to seat like before I switched followers. I haven't tried them live fire yet, but all fed fine when I hand cycled dummy rounds through them.

mnpfamily Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Forgot to add, another benefit, with my gun anyway, is that these Dawson followers didn't need any mods to keep the slide from locking back when empty. With the stock STI followers, the slide was getting hung up after the last round, not locked back, but not fully forward either. I was getting ready to take the edge off the follower when I read this thread. Saved me some work, thanks again, the info is much appreciated.

Rob01 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah I use the .3" base pads with the STI magwell and it works well. Never had any troubles with my mags locking back. Always do it reliably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinerRider Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Oh you poor guys just reading this thread hurts, that 10 round mag ban is ridiculous, turns every gun in to a production gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah it sucks but not as bad as making them all production. Still have some fun with Limited toys but with more reloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledavatar Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Have you guys tried this basepad? It adds zero rounds and adds enough length and padding to work well with my Dawson ice magwell. I use them on both STI 126mm (10rd) 9mm and .40 mags. https://www.doubletapsports.com/doubletap-custom-products/doubletap-sports-magazine-base-pads-dts-126 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnpfamily Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I haven't tried those in particular, but from the picture, they look really similar to the Dawson pads I'm using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yup I use the Dawson .3" on mine and it helps when pushing the mags into the magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenhow Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Sorry for the old thread revival. I am going through this issue setting up .40 10-rounders for my STI DVC Limited. The stock followers/springs make it very difficult to get the 10th round in and almost impossible to seat on a closed slide. I picked up the Dawson 0.300" +0 basepads which are great. Is there a better basepad retainer than the STI one with the star? The hole diameter is larger than the star and basepads move around a bit. I also picked up the Dawson Competition STI Follower For 40 S&W/45 ACP based on this thread. It's going to take a fiddling to get them to attach to the STI 10-round spring. I didn't realize that this follower deactivated the slide stop. Has anyone trimmed/modified the stock follower to allow seating 10-rounds on a closed slide? I've had to trim all my S&W M&P 9/40 10-round mag followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
