Beef15 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Bkreutz said: I have both the ESP and Limited magwells (both SSS) they are about 3-4 years old. They both work with TT 140's without any material removal. I'm actually going to be putting them in the classifieds when I get around to it, probably this week sometime. My wife is using an M&P in Carry Optics so no magwells allowed. Something must've changed. Mine is two years old also works fine. They don't offer brass or steel anymore and the ad says they will require material removal for use with TTI extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhp147 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 For .45 shooters, looks like they have the original version and 2.0 back in stock at http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=103_88_315&products_id=875 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone been able to confirm if material has to be removed to work with the TTI extensions with the latest SSS magwell version? If so is there any other magwell people recommend?

BelRiose Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Are they new TTI basepads? I have a SSS magwell on my 2.0, and it fits perfectly with the old TTI (approx. 2 years old), but the ones I got about 8 months ago had a smaller “lip” that required some shaving of both the magwell and the baseplate.

Yes they are new. Bought about 5 months ago. Are there any that don't require material removal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelRiose Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) None of the ones from the newest batch of TTI basepads that I received fit without a little belt sander/dremel work. I can’t say whether TTI or SSS has updated their specs again since I got those parts. Edited April 4, 2019 by BelRiose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelRiose Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My apologies for the dirty gun and poor image quality. The TTI extension with the silver lip is one of the newer ones, which required quite a bit of sanding to fit. The magwell also required some sanding/filing. It's not quite as clear where as on the magazine because I repainted it afterwards, but you can see where that has started to wear off. I was a little worried about removing too much material from the magwell, so it's a still a tight fit with all the basepads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelRiose Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Rereading the SSS website, it does state, "Requires the use of a thicker-than-stock base pad. Our magwells are designed around the Taylor Freelance, and the Springer Precision base pads and magazine extensions. WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT FITTING TO WORK WITH THE TARAN TACTICAL (TTI) magazine extensions that will remove much of the finish on the inside of the magwell. The factory full size or compact base pads or Arredondo extensions will not work with this magwell." As a side note, maybe it's just the angle, but one of the pictures of the ESP (the blue 2.0 version) looks totally different than the other colors to me.

I can't believe TTI doesn't make a magwell that works with their basepads or are at least compatible with the magwell that exists. Anyway, Looks like I will just have to wait on the magwell and hope that someone makes a one that works with TTI. Kinda wish I had gotten the Taylor Freelance extensions now but too late at this point. I did see that on the SSS website. That's why I was so concerned about buying it and then not fitting.

I have the 5 and 10 extendtions for my open gen 1 Core. STEVE at sjc couldn't answer the question... which I thought was odd. It has an SSS aluminum one on it now. Thanks I have never considered to set up a M&P for open but seeing yours makes me really want to take my Pro Core Gen1 and make it a 9mm major. I normally do not like the look of the add on for open but your open gun looks great. I like how low that 90° mount gets you cmore. Did you tighten the slide to frame fit given the frame mount? Not to hijack this thread further so... Do you have a thread link where you go into the specs etc on your build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsolomo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I just purchased some TTI base pads and wanted to get a compatible magwell for my M&P 9 2.0 5". I got the SSS limited from Taylor Freelance and I am not impressed. As shown in the pics above, there is a ton of exposed plastic still, in the most vulnerable place for mag snags. Does anyone have pics of the SSS ESP installed? I've been hearing great things about the Floyd's Custom magwells but they say they're not compatible with the new TTI base pads. Does anyone know what changed with the TTI base pads or what might need to be shaved to make the two compatible? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiroshi Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 What magwells are you guys using for your M&Ps? I've seen a couple that are aluminum, but are there any brass ones out there? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSJC Brass Magwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlpressley Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have a new in the package Limited magwell from Speed Shooters if anyone is interested. I shoot CO so I have no need for it. I never even installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickB Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 TTI have just released their own magwell for the M&P which I presume will be compatible with their mag extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlsccsfa Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Floyd's custom shop M&P magwell is the best IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with the Carver Custom, and it's fine, but it's aluminum, and my M&P is only weighting in at about 33 oz, even with a tungsten guide rod. This would easily get it closer to the 40 oz. I was shooting for. Oh well, I'll keep it in mind for a future build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
