BSComp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm using a LULA to load my mags, I have some mags that always do 20, and others that do sometimes The springs have about 1/2 a season on them, but I don't load them outside of the range or practice so I may try that also, thanks! Oh yeah! Also check the inside of the mag to see if there is any plastic "flashing" or over molded spots where the polymer protrudes into the the mag causing an obstruction. +1 on EngelMacher's advice. IME it makes a world of difference in the function. If there is any part of the inside of the mag tube that is not smooth, then this creates a point for possible obstruction with the spring, follower, and/or round.

BSComp Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Also, I am getting 20 reloadable with gen 3 & 4 tubes, TTI Springs & Base pads, and followers 'tuned' per Dawson's video. And 19 with the same except Dawson base pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 19 with the same except Dawson base pads. STRANGE- I have removed almost all of the material Dawson has shown- I have extra followers- and still only get 18! What number followers do you have- mine look like 6 or 9? Also how new/old are you TTI base pads?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- TTI informed me he has changed the inside dimensions of his NEWER base pads due to a change in the gen 4 Glock .40 mags. I am waiting to hear back from TTI on these- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntenseImage Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I can squeeze 20 into my Gen4 mags but its VERY hard to rack the slide on it. Fine if you lock it back, load it, and drop the slide. It's reloadable at 19 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 and my Dawson base pads hold 20 reloadable! Just like my TTI red one's better- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyclone Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 just to keep this thread going-I have two different color recent manufacture TTI base pads that after doing the changes recommended for the Dawson base pads that I can get 20 re loadable rounds in both 3rd and 4th gen magazines. They were very stiff at first and I did need to remove flashing from the inside of a couple of the mag tubes, but now is fine and reliable. I load them by hand BTW and round 19 and 20 are pretty still require some strong effort to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaranTactical Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Has the new magazine change been talked about?We did some revisions on the basepad itself, since the brand new gen4 magazines have a much thicker lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTI- I received the 5 new pads from you- installed them on the new gen 4 Glock mags- did the follower mods- and all 5 now hold 20 rounds- and that reloadable. And when installed on my gen 3 9mm Glock mags I get 23 rounds- after I did the follower mods. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glock made the front wall lip thicker, so now all basepads are offset, giving it a ledge for the tail of the follower to get hooked on. We brought the endwall back .025, and haven't had any problems with them on Gen4 magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
