Mbx base pads

[kk4364]

As the title says, does anyone have any experience with the Glock MBX base pads. I am talking about the ones for 140mm extensions . They say add 5 to full size Glock magazines in 40 s&w. I have a Zev KC edition Glock 35, with Zev aluminum magwell, and want to know if these will work.

I have  not used the MBX on my back up Gen34 in CO, but when I shot L10 using an STI, the MBX basepads are all I used, They went on and off super easy, fit perfectly well, and were a breeze to clean. They use a small blocking pin to keep them on the mag bottom.

 

If they made them for CZ, I would have used them. Since they did not, I went with the TTI basepads, and they are very similar to the MBX system.

I bought two 140mm MBX base pads and they only hold 20 rounds.

On another thread I talk about my experience with the MBX extensions. I let them set overnight with 20 and mine will hold 21 rounds, but I don't think mine will lock into the grip with 21. There's no room left to compress the spring. They are easily 20 reloadable .40SW mags.

On Glocks I've had the best luck with the Arredondo extensions. Not pretty, not Gucci, not bling, but they work and get +5 in .40 & +6 in 9mm. That's 20 loadable in .40 & 23 loadable in 9mm.

 

The ones I have I've owned since 2008 or so, started on a G35 Limited gun, now they're on a G17 CO gun. Never an issue with them. Easy to clean (though I don't) and affordable.

Hello: Why not get the Glock factory 22 round magazines? I have used Arredondo, Dawson, TTI and Zev. All work very well. I have not tried them for 40S&W yet but have used them for 9mm. Thanks, Eric

The  Glock factory 22 round magazines are far too long for use in Limited Division, about 165 mm. With a short aftermarket base pad like the one from Taylor Freelance, they will easily make 171.25 mm for use in Open as a big stick.

I went with Dawson's figured if it's not broken dont fix it.

Hello: I did not know that having never seen one of the Glock factory 22 round mags. That is very good info to have. Thanks, Eric
