shooterDrew Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I have Tripp 9mm mags and put Dawson base pads on... In dry fire I'm dropping mags onto carpet laid down in my garage and frequently finding the base pad coming halfway off or all the way off when I drop the mags. Seems like the retaining plate inside isn't doing a good job of staying put when it hits the deck. Anyone having this issue? Know of a fix?

shooterDrew Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Probably would not be asking but it's very frequent. 2 or 3 of every 5 mags that hits the floor ends up like that. Not a major issue now, but could be concerning at a major match Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Are the retaining plates fully seated into the hole the base plate? I sometimes need to fiddle with mine to get them to go together fully. Look down into the disassembly hole and make sure the raised button is fully up into the hole.

shooterDrew Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 It seems to be. If I push on it I can dislodge it with my thumb but I don't see how the plate could seat any further up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've also got the base pads on Wilson etm mags and they do not have the same issue... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have some on my wilsons and, though they are new with little use, they are doing it slightly as well. To be fair, my old 47's with Wilson manufacture dx pads did it to. I figure it's just a design quirk of the mags when you step away from the old school plates. FWIW I reserve my ETM's for match only and do my practice and dry fire with my old 47's. Rather beat those up so the ETM's work properly when it counts.
