Dawson IPSC magwell

[jpm2953]

Anyone that runs this magwell, Can you get away with the wilson ETM basepads? or would I need to get the dawson basepads too?

I recommend the dawson basepads as they're a bit longer and you can have them seat. I've had mixed luck with Wilson ETM basepads with different magwells.

With the IPSC magwell, I get away with regular ETM basepads as well as the similarly profiled Tripp and Metalforms with the plastic basepads.  (There's no way about it iwth the ICE magwell.)  They stick out a little.  I can get a photo if it's of concern.

 

I do have some tripps with the Dawson basepads and it helps.  Bit if you have a good seating technique, you're good.

I have the Dawson Ice magwell. I prefer the Dawson basepads, as they protrude more from the magwell, giving a more positive seating of the magazine. I originally used the Wilson pads, and found that too often, the mags did not fully seat, and experience the dredded one shot, and bombs away of the magazine.

I have the ice already. Trying to figure out about the IPSC model

Tripp basepads work no problem in .40 S&W, same with Metalform 10 rounders in 9mm.
