z40acp Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 With the new design SV Infinity tubes, what is the best TTI follower? Is the ultra thin reliable? They talk about tuning required, is this just for lock back? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grams guts are boringly reliable IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z40acp Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Thanks for the feed back. Is everyone having trouble with the TTI Ultra Thin followers? More isn't worth anything without reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen a 4g pass on a new SV big stick yet. In fact, I had to massage mine with 3g pads to get them to fit and even then it's still tight.

Edge40 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I use grams guts and tti 3 g pads. I have 6 140 tubes and none of them will fit the gauge with the 4g pads. Not with any amount of fussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with any amount of fussing. Old or new gen SV tubes? I've only tested 15 new 140 tubes with TTI 4G & 4G2 base pads (all purchased over multiple years so definitely different batches/lots). All of them fit the official mag gauge that I have. Perhaps I've just been really lucky. From the Shooter's Connection page, note that they say: "The 4G2 fits the gauge with far more clearance than the 4G, while retaining the strength of the 4mm." and "The 4mm are sold as a may need to fit product. If you do not want to fit then do not buy the 4mm for 140mm mags in LIMITED and 170mm in OPEN. Due to variable tolerances of mag tubes these may not fit the guage without fitting."

gnoyesiv Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I was going to try the TTI slim follower for my .40, but can't remember if it said on the page or I emailed about it and was told that the slim follower was only for 9mm, but the univeral would work in either.

z40acp Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have older .40 cal. SV tubes with Bolen followers and springs. They work great and hold more than the Grams. I am building a 9mm open gun and bought the new style SV tubes. I was hoping the TTI Ultra Thin followers would be like the old Bolen ones.
