csailer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 What is a good Glock magazine baseplate for the 3-Gun that will add more rounds to the magazine? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtielke Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I use Arredondo and Taran Tactical, both work well. Arredondo are plastic, have a special tool to squeeze in the tabs to disassemble. TTI are metal, need a small allen wrench to take apart. Otherwise they seem to hold about the same number of rounds and feed without any issues.

fishsticks Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 TTi or Dawson +1 I've used both, and there isn't much practical difference between the two. TTI comes in spiffy colors, but the pin may interfere with magwells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyChris Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Arms Unlimited has a new Extended Magazine Base Pad for Glock. I picked up a couple a few weeks ago and they are solid.. at $19.95 each and free shipping, they are a great deal. https://www.armsunlimited.com/Extended-Glock-17-22-Smith-Wesson-Pistol-Base-Pad-p/fs-mbp.htm I also have a few of the smaller TTI which are beautiful and would recommend as well.

Aircooled6racer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hello: The Arredondo base pads are very easy to remove with the tool. They drop straight off so you don't have to mess around with the spring getting stuck on the slide off base pads. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDirks Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I shoot Taran Tactical basepads with my 34 and highly recommend them. Dawsons are also a good choice. Edited October 15, 2014 by DDirks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 arredondo's (+5) are all I've used but they've worked perfectly and are easy to disassemble and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 In my opinion, avoid Arredondo for serious use (bad experience with them). Use TTI (highly recommended) or taylor freelance. I have had excellent results with both and they have held up to serious use. I can't comment on on Dawson, I have had no experience with them, but they are aluminum and have a strong following, so I wouldnt hesitate to try them. In my opinion nothing will beat TTI. Well constructed and the retention is so simple and fool proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boudreux Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've recently installed TTI's on my 35. They have been awesome so far. 20 rounds reloadable and no problems with feeding. They also seem to hold up well to the abuse of dropping them over and over. I have a dawson magwell on the way and i'm hoping the pin on the back of the basepad won't interfere with the magwell.

TaranTactical Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I use Arredondo and Taran Tactical, both work well. Arredondo are plastic, have a special tool to squeeze in the tabs to disassemble. TTI are metal, need a small allen wrench to take apart. Otherwise they seem to hold about the same number of rounds and feed without any issues. No, no need for the wrench. They're designed to be tool-less. The wrench is used only to adjust the tension on the pin. With the right tension, you should just be able to push the pin up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachvu Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I definitely prefer the TTI to any others! I broke way too many tabs on the Arredondo's, and I didn't love the Dawson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateTSU Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 +1 for the TTI, the are a very well made product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlecThigpen Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have 12 TTI bases, and they all work perfectly, .223, 9, .40, and .45! I have given 5 as gifts, and the recipients are thrilled to have them. Have yet to get a phone call answered or returned, or an email answered, but nice to know they are here to deal with the customers. I just had to find the right venue.

asr1 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 DP works very well i have 8 of them on my 9mm and 40 S&W mags. You need to do very minor fitting, rounding the edges on the folower for the latest Glock Gen 4 mags but we are talking less than 1 minute each with a small file and 400 grit sand paper. Also they come with instruction on how to DIY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have Arrendondo, Dawson and TTI. I like the TTI best but all of the work flawlessly and I use them interchangeably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash74 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have used Arrendondo base plate for five years with zero problems. Thanks for your experience. How much hard use have your base pads seen? In my experience and the shooters I shoot with, the arrendondo basepads just do not hold up. Too many times I have seen a magazine self destruct after being dropped on something hard like stones or concrete. If you only shoot on grass or dirt, I think the arrendondo pads would be fine. It is simply the nature of plastics. I like the company and several of their products, but their pads could use some improvement for hard use.

darkvibe Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I use TTI. Would recommend them. Work great and the weight of the metal helps the mags drop free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
