I use a LULA on the last round, but I can do it with my thumb if I want to. Don't want to do it all day though. Which TTI base pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust them to run 23+1 rds. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't... perhaps they are still relatively new but so far they're not 109% reliable. hmmmm I'll try grams follower with stock spring..... I feel like that's pushing reliability in another direction.................................... Can't believe running 24 round in CO could be this dreadful...

Bakerjd Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Its terrible. although mine just sits on the bench. The girlfriend loves her 320 legion though. Probably close to 30k rounds now on it and so long as I keep it clean and the mags clean no issues. And to be honest it only get cleaned before a major.

I originally set up my mags with Springer base pads. I could only get to 23 if I used Grams guts. I tried the TTI bases, and 23 was easier to load to, but I was curious if I could get there using the stock spring and follower, and sure enough, 23. I have 8 mags set up this way, and all work as they should. Good luck, but I didn't find it hard to get 23 at all. Borrow someone's LULA, load them to 23 and let them sit, they should loosen up. Like I said, I can do it by hand, but I wouldn't want to do it all day at a major. Plus I hated that little set screw in the Springer pads.

.45 ACP nut Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I bought the TTI +5 base pads to go with my 17 round mag bodies. With a Grams follower and spring I get 23 rounds in the mag. They work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it in the page title bar when you look up the correct TTI base pad. You see it to the left of the BE page title in this screen shot. I didn’t make up that link, I just copied it in. Trust us, we’ve done the leg work for you, all you have to do is as we’ve suggested, get the TTI small base pad (they only make 2 sizes for the 320) add it to your 21rd. mag, load with a LULA, and you’ll get 23.

It LOOKS LIKE Taran had listed the pad as 2+ but realized that it can't be done 100% of the time so they retracted that description. Read the product description.

I use grams followers and tti springs to get 23+1. I've settled at 22+1 for now. I did not like how weak the spring felt after 23+1 with grams follower. The reason is that the slide movement at trigger break was quite significant with weak magazine spring. Most striker fired pistols require good spring force to keep the slide kept up.

I have practice mags that have 300+ cycles on them. No problems with reliability or accuracy. They’ll stop locking back the slide around 200ish cycles. But for practice mags, it doesn’t bother me.

GreyGoose Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I have 6 TTI +2 basepads for P320 21 round mags and only one of them fit in the USPSA mag gauge. Any suggestions on how to modify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddc Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Check where the mag is impacting the gauge. In my case it was at the rear of the feed lips. I removed a small amount of material from that area. It wasn't much; just had to knock the point down a bit. If the pads were plastic I would have considered grinding them down just a hair...but they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degnan Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I wouldn't touch the feed lips. I would take a Dremel to bottom of the base pads until they fit in the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Shave the edge on the basepad. I've done it on prob 20 mags that didn't fit. No need to mess with the feed lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
