Does anyone know if these have been discontinued and if so what pads are you using on factory tubes? How many rounds are you getting reloadable? Are MBX mags worth the coin? There is a rumor floating around that the mag for the RP9, Remingtons newest polymer monstrosity, will fit. They were $14 recently on sale, so a cheap trial. Dawson must be out of stock as I ordered 3 in the last week or two. Edited September 5, 2017 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know this as well, as well as an extended slide stop. Also, what's the verdict on the RP9 magazines? I was going to order Dawson basepads, but for what I would get, the RP9 mags would be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeltFed Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks usmc1094 for the video. I was able to find out that the STI extended mag release only works with STI mags in the 1911A2 TAC, by watching a few of the linked videos. Saved me some dollars. Friend of mine has an extended mag release with the button for a Para that should work. I was trying to avoid the button, but his price is right, especially if it works.

The magazine bodies on the Remington magazines are longer than the body of the magazine that came with my gun. With that said, the follower is dragging inside the magazine. Why? When they drilled the holes in the back of the magazines, either the drill bit was getting dull or something, because there's metal poking into the magazine causing follower drag. I'll have to find my jeweler's files and flatten them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyTownAggie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Is it possible to buy a separate TCM upper? I bought the 9mm hi cap Tac and would rather not buy an entire new gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raven5 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 With the RP9 mags fitting, it surprises me they are that long/deep. Most 9mm/40 models of anything have much shallower mags to fit the shorter cartridges. The 1911 was always the exception since it started as .45acp. Nice to know. Thanks for the update.

jrswanson1 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I tried emptying the magazine with the extension on it and the follower got stuck in the extension. I'm going to swap out the stock follower for one that works with the extension and see if it still sticks when I get home tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
