DenverDave Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Looking for recommendations for Mag Extensions for my Glock 33rd mags and while I'm at it, recommendations for an AR-9 magwell. Thanks Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) Magwell -> contact bmiller here on the forum I have an early aluminum one from Brian that I will never let go (will probably get buried with me). Mag Extensions -> MBX 47 rd Mini and Dawson Precision +5 Factory Glock mags for most of my shooting and 21 rd Magpul Glock mags for mandatory reloads during classifiers (the hard slick plastic on the Magpul mags just seems to load faster/better.) I'm too old to put up with accessories that do not work. All of the above are excellent additions to your equipment. Edited June 14, 2018 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment
JAFO Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'll second the MBX Mini extensions. Make sure you clean out ALL the excess plastic flashing when installing them on OEM Glock tubes. I half-assed it the first time I installed one on a Glock tube after having such an easy time installing them on two ETS tubes. It tested fine in slow fire, but turned into a salt shaker on the first stage. Once I got it properly cleaned out, it's been working fine. I also have some TTI +6 pads that I put on Glock 17-rd tubes that have worked well, but I can't get them to lock in with 23 rounds loaded, so I use them as 22-rds. Link to comment
BigBamBoo Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I have the MBX Mini and the TAYLOR Freelance.....both run great. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hello: I am using +5/6 base pads from Dawson, TTI, Zev and Arredondo. These will hold 34-36 rounds. For a really big stick I use the Taccom splice with a 33 and a 17 round magazines. This setup seems to work better than the MBX setups I have seen around here. Short mags are factory Glock with +5/6 base pads and Magpul 21 round ons as well as there 17 round with the Zev base pad. The Magpul mags drop faster and load faster for me. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
brix Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Another one for the mbx, I am running a mega. As far as Magwell what AR 9 lower do you have? BMiller is a great option but there are others out there but it depends on which lower you have since a lot of them are not the same. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment
1981Shooter Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm running MBX Mega with ETS mags, Taylor Freelance +10 with Glock 31rd mags, and Taran Tactical +5/6 with Glock 17rd mags. They all function perfectly, although the TF needed a little chamfering of the follower to work. I also have a few factory Glock 33rd mags that I use for reloads, as I feel that I get a better grip on them and that they're easier to jam in while under the stress of the timer. Link to comment
Stymie12000 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I just got the MBX mini. I like it, just the right size. Glock 33 rd mag. I like the titan rocket magwell! Link to comment
Startingover Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I am in the process of setting a couple up myself. I did the same homework you are, and decided they all seem to be similar in performance. The biggest difference is ease of disassembly. I ended up going with Taylor Freelance because they are kind of a local business for me. No matter who's you get, you won't go wrong. Link to comment
XD Niner Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have both the MBX Mini (47 rounds) and TF (41 rounds.) I prefer the MBX because it is more reliable and easier to disassemble. Link to comment
stick Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 As many have said before, for a magwell, contact Bmiller. for an extension, Both MBX mini and Taylor freelance are good. I have both. I favor the MBX for easy of assembly and disassembly. The MBX also holds 47 rounds compared to the TF which holds 42 Link to comment

Order them from Shooter's Connection. They're a forum sponsor and have a discount for forum members as well. I ordered mine through them when I still lived in Colorado before moving to a free state.

Once you have an account setup on their website, just send them an email stating that you're a Enos forum member and they'll permanently apply it to your account. Once they do that and you login in, you'll see the special pricing. Some items don't have a discount or a very small one, but it's significant on certain items. Saved me a few bucks on my MBX Mega extensions. Link to comment

thermobollocks Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Taylors and the 4" MBXes will usually handle anything a USPSA course will throw at you. I have two of the 6" MBXes just because. Link to comment
dlightning Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I have Dawson and MBX. I like both for different purposes. Only problem with the MBX is weight. Magwell, depends on your lower. I have QC10 and use BMiller. Very secure. Link to comment
