lowball020 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 What advantages would they have over regular mags with extended base pads? Just wondering if I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Money Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 They might cost more and be more shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 There's no commercially available 171.25mm mag from Tanfoglio, there is from MBX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMcGowan Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I use the 170 for open and factory mags with Henning extensions for my 140. Beats welding two factory mags up. I get 28 in 9 major could probably get 29 if it was in supercomp. Edited February 3, 2017 by TMcGowan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that would be a plus is the spring not getting bound up occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwansikcjswo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Also it feels different when you grip the mag for reloading.I like MBX style better than Henning style big basepads. Another difference is that MBX mags don't lock the slide open at the last shot. Edited February 5, 2017 by hwansikcjswo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not all that concerned with the slide lock as I have a pin vs the slide release because my grip rides it up while I'm shooting. I thought about the feel, as my pinky has been crushed on more than one occasion between the magwell and basepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelsonAK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The only reason I am considering the mbx 140's is due to an occasional issue with the extensions being a jam point. Have had it happen once or twice that a round gets lodged at the joint of the extension and the magazine goes dead. The 170mm magazine has been fantastic in testing.
