harryorwell Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I made a trade for a used XDm 5.25 last year from a local that had a number of mods. I have most of the mod info but I didnt get the name of the mag extensions the guy put on the springfield mags he sold me. He sold me 5 total mags and two of them had extensions that allow 21 or 22 total depending on what day it is:) Anyway, I have been having some trouble lately with one of them locking up half way through loading. It has happened on both but one does it constantly. I want to take them apart and see what springs are used and to clean etc. but I can't figure out how to get the damn things apart nor can i identify them. They have a mark on them you will see in the pic but I am not an XDm afficianodo so i don't recognize it. Surely some of the XDm brotherhood can tell me who makes these, whether they are worth a sh%t and how to get them apart. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm assuming they are Dawson as well but maybe wolfe or some others are better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah, I just use the ones that came with them, never had an issue with any of them. I would probably try to get springs from them to ensure they are the correct length. I know they are longer than the standard springs but I can't remember by how much...maybe a coil or two. Have you cleaned them and looked for burrs, dents, damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
