frankge Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Need to order additional mags, what are some opinions for 9mm 170 mags. MBX complete or "new" STI with grams guts and Dawson SNL BP? The price difference is 20 bucks so not a great consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theWacoKid Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 MBX have worked at a higher rate across multiple guns for me than the highly tuned STI mags I had. The new STI mags I know nothing about. Just pick something and go realizing both may need massaging in your gun/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&W686 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 For my CK Arms Open Gun the MBX magazines have worked best for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockman75 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 My MBX mags are perfect out of the box. Tried and true. I have lots of them. STI and Para. 9mm and .40. They are alll 100%. Most people I know use them and also recommend them.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doellemite Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm not an open shooter, but quite a few of my buddies are. They swear by the MBX as much as I swear by my mecgars for my cz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWprotected Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have had good luck with MBX mags. I did put a new spring in one of my 140s, but thats the only issue in over a year of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello: I have not seen one of the new STI mags yet but around here the MBX seem to be about 50% on whether they work or not in open pistols. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankge Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 ordered the new STI 9mm 170 with grams guts and Dawson SNL basepad from Brazos (I'm loyal to Bob). I currently run the older STI's with grams and a spacer, same basepads. Call me OCD but in the end I wanted it all to match as no report I read really indicated one better than the other. I'll report back - running this in an STI GrandMaster Trubor 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeski Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Frankge - Find me next time I'm at the WAC. I can let you borrow a MBX mag for the match. Edited July 31, 2017 by Mikeski Additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJan Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So Taran like SV mags (when equipped with TTI basepad, spring and follower) and he likes the new STI ( equipped with TTI basepads, spring and follower) I wonder why he has no love for the "Wacky aftermarket magazines" (MBX ? we can assume) Can it be because he looses sales of basepads, springs and followers? hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman711 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 All of my MBX mags run all the time . From the proto types to the new 10rd. open mags. Alot of R&D went into their development, they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louu Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Yeah mbx are great especially when the follower turns on it side so rounds go next to it jamming it up and costing you 2 spots overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ano Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 why wouldnt his stuff fit mbx? I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJan Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 2 hours ago, ano said: why wouldnt his stuff fit mbx? I Not the point. The point is the mbx mags are ready to use the way they are sold, no need to buy different basepads, springs or followers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 except the basebads are horrible to get off? I use tooless daweson on both the 140 and 170 mbx, also grams guts, not crazy about the mbx follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My 170mm MBX mags had issues with the stock followers. Switched to Grams and they run 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teros135 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 MY 170s get 28 reloadable with stock MBX innards, 29 reloadable with TTI internals. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
