mikeAZ Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I see there are 2 manufacturer's of the large 170 mm Glock mag extensions.. Anyone use both or either... Taylor Freelance is one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I been running Talyor's since the beginning. They are bullet proof, but not so easy to take down and clean. There are many other choices out there now, Arrendondo and Taran Tactical are much easier to take down, but all my gear is still Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I run the Taylors, bullet proof, not easy to clean, but being Glocks I don't seem to have to clean them very often. Once in a great while if I drop it in a pile of fine dust/sand, otherwise every time I pull them apart just to check the are good. I have 3 170's and 3-140's. Fit several different magwells that we run on different Glocks. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savagesweat Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Did TTI or Arredondo start making +10 base pads for glock? Last I looked, they only had the 140mm extensions that added +6. Dawson makes some good base pads too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The TF +10's are kinda the only option. I had some very bad experiences with these. Cracked 3 from dropping on concrete floors. They go on sale at midway every once in a while. It might be worth it to try and cut down some 33's. You will be able to get 29 reloadable vs the 28 not so reloadable from the TF's.

warpspeed Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 TTI has +6 pads. Taylor Freelance make the longest ones. Like the others have said, they work great just a PITA to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I finally drilled .250" diameter holes in the bottom of extension. Now I just push the follower in blow thru the hole with air compressor. It's usually sand that jams them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeAZ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looks like www.competitionreadysolutions sold by Lone Wolf is the other 170mm extension.... Anyone using one at the present time???.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually sand that jams them up. You drilled holes in the bottom of the mag? That seems counter productive. Actually it works quite well. The Taylors do not come apart quickly, so when I drop a mag in the sand just so, it's so easy to just shake it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeAZ Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sorry, go to the lone wolf site.... they are there. Uses ISMI spring which may last longer than the Wolff spring as they are different material.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Taylor's 170 holds +11 now and after you sand the followers down they work and work and work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you are just guaranteeing that you get debris inside every time you drop a mag now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Kraj, "holds 11 now"... Is this a redesign?... Where are you shaping the follower?... I just ordered a Taylor to try out... Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It's a new design. It was on the website when I went to order replacement springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noexcuses Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 loaded some MG 124g @ 1.157-1.16 and had issues with them getting stuck in the TF section. had to spend a few min. with a dremel to clearance it. Works good just racking rounds through the gun manually, will have to get it to the range and test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
