18111811 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I just saw that Dawson Precision did not have no gap listed on their site, so I called them. They confirmed Mr Dawson discontinued carrying those items. I have a few questions. Has anyone broken an insert for their ICE magwell? Would the no gap base pad equipped magazines work with the gap magwell insert without over insertion being a risk during a mag change or would the gap allow for an over insertion??

Nc1911 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) My wife has 12 Dawson magazines for the no gap insert on her 1911. I tried one in my Techwell on my DW pm9 and it definitely seems that it would cause a problem over time as there isn’t a shoulder to stop the magazine at the correct depth. Great news.

Jammer1911 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 They will most certainly over insert on a slide lock reload. Two words - Death Jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This seems awfully backward. I have them on every single stack I would shoot in USPSA. I'm not even sure what I would use if not the Dawson no-gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nc1911 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So I guess the answer is to buy a dozen regular base pads and a regular insert. Way to go Dawson, maybe a discount for previous customers that bought this discontinued junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Is the insert something that could be printed with a 3d printer? If so someone could make some money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Dawson has inserts available if you call in. They let me place an order today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
