DClass Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Not in my opinion I have a few for my open gun and in 38SC they run fine but my limited run and 3 gun pistols will not run with MBX they are a good looking mag but not the most reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashDodson Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have had the best luck with SVI tubes, TT base pads and grams springs/followers. I check the feed lips before major matches, which you should do on any 2011 mag. I sent a mag to my gun builder and he tunes the gun to work with my mags. Keep them clean and feed lips in spec and I have no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glocklover Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 New update, I have shot my MBX mags all summers minimum of one match a week 5000 rounds and still no issues. Looks like I need to buy more MBX mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryOwens Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I love mine. I’ve got 140’s, 155’s, and 170’s and they just work. No tuning feed lips or tweaking anything. Just load and shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckonz Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I've just purchased a some MBX mags for my 40 STI. As I shoot IPSC they are the 126mm with the angled basepad. However I only seem to be able to get 16 rounds in them, whereas all the commentary on the mags indicate I shoyld get 18, maybe 19.Any ideas?

When you get to about 12 rounds make sure you use an uplula and continually press down on the top round 10 times or so in order to get them to stack perfectly. I’ve had this happen from time to time in my 170s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had this happen from time to time in my 170s. You were absolutely spot on. I used an Uplula to load all rounds into the magazine. After loading up 12, I pressed down about 10 times, after which I was able to load another 6 rounds. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k1llapanda Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The only time i have had issues with mbx mags were with my pt grips. I had a chance to run the new style 9/38 sti mAgs when they first came out from a local shooter that got some to test. They worked well out of both the pt grip and the 2011 plastic grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase214 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Mine worked fine when I fitted tti base pad on it , until then it didn't work worth crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Going on 10 months with mine... Match every week. Run grams guts, mbx base pads, they work like a charm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggulp Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I just picked up 2 almost new MBX 140/9 mags that were sold as very lightly used and appeared as such. Was excited to get mags that I knew would work for my DVC Open without a ton of tinkering. Well, that excitement was short lived.. One of them needed a minor feed lip tweak (no biggie), but the other is useless. Haven't put much effort into it, but either the tube is out of spec or (more likely) the mag catch is cut wrong. It doesn't feed and it doesn't drop (has to be physically pulled out). Going to call MBX and see if they want to take care of it, but I'm not impressed at all. If they were $5 more than factory STI mags, they might be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
