rustychev Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 To day I put in a order for a sig traditional match elite in 40. I would like to use the 10mm/40sw trip cory mags that will hold 10 rounds and still fit the box but I also would like to be able to share ammo with my glock 24 limited gun with max oal of 1.125. dose any one know if they will feed at that oal or will I have to get the standard 40 mags that hold just 9 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertg5322 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Got a Kimber I converted to .40S&W. Feeds factory length ammo fine. Had to recontour the feed ramp (basically trim it back to the front strap inside the frame) and install an EGW higher mag catch. It'll feed from Tripp, Mec Gar, Metalform, Checkmate and any other .40 S&W mags (the ones with the spacer). It's a Kart barrel, with a chamber that won't run long ammo. Got the same barrel in my Caspian High Cap Limited gun. Same ammo feeds in both guns fine. Only way to know for sure is to try.

rustychev Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Are you using the tripps that hold 10 rounds or the 9 round ones. I have heard the 10 rounder's don't like standard length stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach1soldier Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The tripp corey 10mm mags only hold 9 rounds. They feed much better with long loaded ammo in my experience. One gun will run shorties, the other won't. I would stick to standard .40 mags that hold 10 rounds if you are wanting to load short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustychev Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 So are there any 10 round 40 mags that fit the uspsa box? shooting minor is not mandatory as I have a 9mm but it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Corey mags (9 rnds) are basically the same mag body as the System mag (10 rnds). The difference is the Corey mag uses the hybrid follower whereas the System mag uses the metal flex follower. Both use the same base pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hello: I use 45acp mags in my 40's. I load long to 1.180" OAL. The Metalform Elite mags hold a loose 9 rounds so they are easier to reload. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerattix Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I use the Tripp cobras in 40. I've only run factory ammo thru them. They are trouble free mags. Definitely get my recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalTeacher Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I use Tripp Corey mags in my Trojan. With the steel followers I get 10rds for minor. These mags just refuse to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustychev Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Ended up going with a few tripp 40sw/10mm mags from Dawson precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Un4givin Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I use the Tripp Corey mags and have run both long and short 40 through them, I only load long now but I had some leftover short 40 for my 24 and was curious one day to see if they would go and they fed perfectly. ymmv.

rustychev Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I hope it works for me but worst thing that happens is I have to make two loads one long one short. The truth is 2K rounds short will last a long time as I shoot limited 2 maybe 3 times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I use the 10 red Tripp mags with std length 40's. My only complaint is at slide you can over insert mag. The base Pad has piece on front of mag that should prevent it, but it flexes away from mag and allows over insertion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to loading long 40 I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how soft shooting you can get 40 with the right powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustychev Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Got them last night and shot them today they feed all my 40 rounds both RN and LSWC at 1.125 100% very happy with that. Less happy with how they fit the box. My box was made by a member on BE and I did have him cut it on the tight side but I have to press on the bottom of the mag for the gun to drop into the box and then it is a tight fit. Edit Is it legal to have to press the mag in to fit the box I don't see that's its not ok in the rule book?

andrewtac Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I use the tripp mags as well. It has the modified metal base pads. I too was not happy with the fit in the box, they fit but it was tight. I looked at where they were rubbing and shaved a little more of the base pads. Wasn't much, but the gun drops in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
