Shooter212 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have been shooting 3 gun with stock mags and looking to get a few more rounds. Which ones do you guys like? Any to stay away from? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog009 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I prefer TTI's for the color, simplicity and cleaner look. Dawson's work fine, but they rattle when loaded, and that just doesn't sit well with me. But any will work as intended, it is really just a personal preference thing. I've never tried Arredondo's, but I've heard the argument that some would rather drop $35 worth of plastic on the ground than $35+ of aluminum.

2mikes Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dawson and Taran Tactical. I use both and think that they are equally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkdust21 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Taran, Dawson, Arredondo, Taylor Freelance.... I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. check this topic link for some more info http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175983&hl=+magwell%20+modification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 All comes down to personal preference. I have the Dawson's. Nothing wrong with them, they work fine and are easy on/off. But, if I had it to do over I'd get the TTIs, only for the looks as I'm pretty confident functionality is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreGarciaTAT2 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I have used the above mentioned... And I am also in the TTI boat. They make a great product... I had one mid stage fall apart issue with an Arredondo... So, that should be considered as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Been using Dawsons for both 3 gun and USPSA in 9mm and .40 and they work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayohee Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dawson EZ offs work nice for me. I'd rather have the TTI but they're 2xs the price. Don't think there's much difference other than aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 My Arredondo's work perfectly and I get 20 rounds of .40 with no break-in period. They also come off very easily. $35 each and I see no reason to try aluminum that will get scratched up. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like the weight of the aluminum for both adding weight to the pistol and also giving some extra weight to drop the mags out of the gun when changing mags. No break in with the Dawsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I like Dawson and Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have Dawson and like them. I like the look of the Taran Tacticals better, though, and have heard nothing but good things about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsauerfan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 i like the taylor freelance bling basepads for the added weight to the frame. they looks good too! i cut the notch on the mags for easier removal and cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE1010 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have used all of them over the years- Arredondo, Dawson Precision, Taylor Freelance, and TTI. The only ones that ever broke on me or failed me were the Arredondo and Taylor Freelance basepads. Either they broke apart on contact when dropped (grass and concrete) or they failed/came apart during a stage/practice. The Dawson were pretty solid but they sounded like a castanet when loaded and you had to really force a load/reload. The TTI basepads are all I use or will ever use now. They are solid, easy on/off for maintenance and cleaning between stages, multiple color choices to match gear or isolate for tracking, offer options of capacity/size for different divisions or shooting disciplines, and TTI offers custom laser engraving. The TTI Glock basepads are worth every penny and their customer service is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahlsan Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I run Dawson and like how easy they are to clean. Want to switch to TTI, but they are out of the color I want, seems trivial but I want to match 3-gun components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycwebb Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I just upgraded from stock factory basepads to TTI. I am looking forward to trying them out during a match tonight. so far I am very impressed with their quality and how easily they slipped on.

RevInk Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have both Dawson and TTI, and had to do some mag swapping yesterday since I'm selling the G35 and got a good feel for the on/off and how they feel on their own off the mags. I prefer TTI because of how easy they are to take off for mag cleaning. The Dawsons can be a tad bit tough to slide open if it has been a while since I cleaned them last. For ease of install I'd have to give the nod to the Dawsons. Both are easy, but being able to compress the mag spring in the extension on the Dawson made it just a tad easier. I know it isn't much, but the TTI are $9.50 more than the Dawsons for each extension ($41.99 vs $32.49). I have 12 mags for my G35; 6x 40 and 6x 9mm. That's $114 extra if I had put extensions on all of them in TTI. That's half way to nice race holster. On paper, everything points to the Dawsons....but I prefer the TTI. I never broke down the cost before, but even knowing it now I would go TTI. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My TTI small basepads have been great. I like the added weight for helping mags drop free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycwebb Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My TTI small basepads have been great. I like the added weight for helping mags drop free. If I ever shoot production, I am going to buy these just for the grip space and weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayohee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Broke down and bough the TTI base pads. The Dawson's were great but the TTI just feels better and has more 'real estate' to grab onto. Worth the money imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
als14 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Ive been running Dawson's for a while now. No issues, work great and easy to remove. Would like to try the TTIs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
