Talon75 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Or- all I can really afford!! Also got the new Taylor Freelance basepads, fit great no issues so far, ordering 2 more soon. Edited January 25, 2018 by Talon75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GLewie Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Or- all I can really afford!! Also got the new Taylor Freelance basepads, fit great no issues so far, ordering 2 more soon. I ordered 2 base pads from the Taylor Freelance website last Friday. Got an email showing they shipped on Saturday. Got home Monday and they were in my mailbox. From WA to IN in a couple days via USPS. AMAZED!! The bases are really nice, fit well in the TF “fattie” magwell and with my well used spring held 21 rounds pretty easy.

usmc90 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I bought 3 TF base pads to try out before I bought anymore of them. Has anyone tried the new TF pads on the RP-9 mags ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3GLewie Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Will using the RP9 make them longer than the 140mm length for 3 gun &USPSA?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased a TCM A2 model used recently and will be making changes to it for 3 gun use. As of the moment it has Hogue grips installed. I just recieved some G10 grips from Stoner CNC Which will be installed tomorrow. Also ordered a MecGar p18 magazine and will be ordering The TF magwell and 3 extensions in a few days What grips did you put on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamD87 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 What grips did you put on?Just black G10 grips. I think they are the inly style they offer.

I bought the tall first and it was too tall, short worked fine with stock height front. Front site is .200, not sure if thats tall or short.

soulbyte Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Front site is .200, not sure if thats tall or short.That’s pretty tall as the stock one is .160, I purchased .180 and still had to adjust the rear sight pretty high to achieve zero.

1981Shooter Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The stock front sight on mine was junk. The FO sucked and I couldn't adjust the rear sight far enough to make it shoot less than 4" at 7yds. I used the Dawson sight calculator and ended up getting a .210 tall one from them. My rear sight is now a few clicks from bottomed out and the zero is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Sorry, I am speaking of the Dawson Tall Rear fixed sight for the RIA. If you want to try that let me know. https://dawsonprecision.com/rock-island-1911-novak-style-carry-fixed-black-rear-sights/ Edited January 25, 2018 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Followme438 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have a RIA Pro Match Ultra coming in tomorrow. Anything I should look out for? Do the RP9 mags work for .40, or is it just Para mags and MBX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RP9 mags only worked in my 9mm’s, and do not work in the 40. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Probably. My use for those plus the TF pads will be 3 gun only. And most of my local outlaw matches don’t care that much I have the shorter with pads for the ones that do get that picky and have not decided if I’ll use that for USPSA as I typically shoot production with a shadow custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local club never checks magazine length. How many rounds the RP9 with the TF bases hold? 23? I have shot a Glock 34 for years and used to 23 round capacity with TTI base pads so might be a good thing for a local match for an extra couple rounds.

AdamD87 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Anybody using a TF magwell on a non factory magwell version and have pictures I just got my TF magwell in and it looks like no matter how much I do to blend that magwell I'll end up with a huge gap around it.

Followme438 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I picked up my Pro Match Ultra on Friday, and took it out yesterday and ran 400 rounds through it. Absolutely zero issues with it, and was ringing a 12" plate at 100 yards at will. Pistol is as smooth as any other 1911 based pistol I've handled and shoots like a dream! Couldn't be happier.

dogtired Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I had one that I contemplated milling. Ended up selling it and buying a Tac. RIA may be able to do that for you. The stock magwell and the unmilled frame were not a perfect match. I am learning how to run a mill, not confident enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
