FF423 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looking to replace my 9mm followers from stock in my 126mm STI mags. Any suggestions that will still allow my slide to lock back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inrut Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I would call beven grams or Taran Butler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 In all honesty you won't find one. To lock the slide back Reliably stay with the factory followers. The miiimalist followers are designed for capacity and serve a different purpose. They can be set to lock back but not well as there is a fine line between locking back and locking back with 1 round left and not locking back at all. They just don't work very well for that thing is dependent on the spring as well so it may work for a bit then start either not locking back or locking back early. If you want max capacity look at the grams or TTI but your gonna need to give up locking back. If you need lockback your only real option is the factory ones.

JAF1680 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I replaced two with gram followeres and they both lock back with 1 in the mag. I am going to trim them so they don't lock back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hello: I would try some plastic SVI followers the purple ones for 9mm. I have used them for my IDPA gun in STI and SVI tubes. They may need the shelf lowered a little to lock back when empty. I also use stock STI followers as well. I don't use spacers for my IDPA STI mags. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
