Dawson Precision hi-cap base pad

[timawa]

Need help on installed Dawson Precision Hi-cap mag base pads on my 5.25 9mm magazines. As advertised, it will add 3-4 cartridges. I followed the instruction modifying the follower but did not get what supposed to be the outcome. It only manage to add 2.

Anybody using this base pad?

Did you get at least 3 or more to the capacity?

I just checked. Ya im holding 22 rounds of 9mm. Its pretty tight. I took a file and put a pretty decent radius on all edges of the fallower. Test fit your fallower to base pad fit. It should slide in without any hangups.

Running the same base pad, at 22 rounds. I rounded all the edges of the follower and all four corners. Mine are as smooth as the stock Springfield mag was. I can't quite get 23, lacks about a 1/16" of making it.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for input guys. I will try to file more of the edge.

There's a small lip on the inside of the front side at the base of the XDm mags that needs to be ground down/removed.

Weird. I have the square spring mags is this just on the dimpled spring mags?

I rounded the edges of the follower and I rotated the spring, as in turned it the other way around it held 22 rounds. It must be the spring, I don’t know but it worked. Thank you again.

Inopted for springer precision with Grams follower and spring. 23 rounds and i can still push it down about 1/3 of a round more for easy slide closed loading.

With the Grams followers, do you lose the last round hold open feature?

 

Thanks.
