ramnj Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I have two magazines that came with my SigSauer 1911 Max Mitchel 40S&W. Anybody recognize who’s the manufacturer? Need to change the follower, remove the back spacer and get longer basepads. TIA. Edited June 22, 2019 by ramnj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also ordering their 40S&W/10mm spring and follower kit. I load long and won't fit in the mags with the magazine spacer.. https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Spring_Follower-Kit-Wilson-9-rd-40-SW_10mm-Full-Size-Magazine/productinfo/47SFK-9/ https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Base-Pad-Extended-625-Black-Package-of-3/productinfo/47BEN/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier to sell those and just buy new mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve in Allentown PA Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The followers are definitely Check-Mate http://www.checkmatemagazines.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=64&name=cm-9-40-f-follower&Itemid=298 Compare the patent numbers on the followers. The basepads are also definitely Check-Mate http://www.checkmatemagazines.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=113&name=removable-base-set&Itemid=298 I'm thinking these magazines are made by Check-Mate.

Removing the spacer helps, but you do not get reliable feeding because the 9mm follower is too short. You need a 38 Super follower. A suggestion I received was to use 38 Super mags instead.

N3WWN Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 My Sig 1911MAXM pistols both came with Wilson Combat 47-series magazines. Wilson Combat even exchanged 2 of the factory 40 S&W magazines for 10mm magazines due to feeding issues with SAAMI-length 40 S&W ammo. The WC 47BEN 0.625" basepads are what I use, but I had to shave the basepad off at an angle in order for the gun + empty magazine to fit inside the USPSA box for Single Stack. Not sure if you can tell in this picture, but the bottom of the basepad was cut off at an angle with no length removed from the rear and almost 0.25" taken off the front (almost up to the molding line). This made the bottom of the mag flush with the USPSA box when inside the gun, maintaining maximum legal length of the basepad. Here's what the 47BEN 0.625" basepads look like when new: Let me know if you want any more before/after pictures or exact measurements of the basepads - I have some new ones and can do a better comparison.
