Jetskidawg Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I put a Dawson Ice magwell on my Sig 1911 (Match Elite) in 40 S&W and have some 10-rd Tripp Cobra mags that fit great and are USPSA legal. The two factory 8-rd mags are now too short to realistically be used in competition. Is there a basepad/extension I can get to make thse mags useful, either as 8-rounders or as 10-rounders?

Intel6 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The factory 8 round mags are Wilsons and they make an extended pad for them. Doesn't increase capacity but does increase length. If you want to use them in USPSA SS then you will need modify them so they fit in the box. https://www.brownells.com/magazines/handgun-magazines/magazine-parts/magazine-floorplates/1911-magazine-pads-prod71711.aspx?psize=96&avs|Manufacturer_1=WILSON%2bCOMBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount to sand off depends on your rear sight (Hi Neal!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel6 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks Chuck, I didn't have a pic of my mags with the cut down pads but mine are basically the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
