ramairthree Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 What magazines are you using? The Mec-Gar 20s keep the 92 series a few rounds shy of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I shoot a Glock, and went with Taylor Freelance aluminum +5 extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Use a MecGar 18rd tube, add a CZ custom of Henning base pad, then add a grams follower. 23+1. Hit me on IG and I'll send you SKU's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramairthree Posted October 21, 2021 Author Share Posted October 21, 2021 Very cool. I had almost a ten year break from going to matches. I went to a USPSA and was one of two production shooters there and other than the classifier all the stages were crazy complicated hunt and peck, obscured, far shoot compared to what the used to be like. A much more serious vibe than I was used to. I’m thinking of throwing a DPP on my Wilson Brig Tac and shooting CCO, or trying some local IDPA with my stock Langdon Elite in SSP. a decade ago, there were some great USPSA matches from my perspective, that were hard and challenging but fun. And I found IDPA boring. My recent few USPSA outings have been not fun and frustrating. I want the shooting to be both fun interesting. I don’t find Easter hunt for targets or stages designed to be full of gotchas fun. I will try a few other USPSA clubs and try some IDPA again. But was weighing if I go CCO to stick with 92 based, RDO my APX, my 19 MOS, or the DPP/M17 combo. I guess I could consider my SP01 as well.

I think, overall, the sport has progressed in some ways - the simpler days are a bit behind us... Hell, even one of the local IDPA clubs has National-level (or better) stages at the regular monthly match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramairthree Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Ok, I like the Leupold mount and DPP setup better than the other. My holster works with both, but I can’t even remember the brand/model number of my holster and nothing printed on it I Can see.

I like the LTT better. No slides in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me on IG and I'll send you SKU's... Ok, this worked for me. I did have issues with the follower catching on the slide stop activator-some mags zero issues, a couple of mags, would load fine but catch and have to be dragged out for reloads, a couple of mags it would catch the follower on insertion and get FTF, on one mag it had both problems. I did a little sanding, and no hope of last round slide hold open, but all are feeding and shooting and falling out on release great.

2MoreChains Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 My understanding is the Taylor Freelance mag extensions for the Canik are also compatible with the Beretta 18 rnd mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esajz24 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I found that the TTI CZ75 pads do not fit the gauge on Beretta MecGar tubes, so avoid those. Have Canik TP9 pads coming to test from Henning, Springer, and Taylor Freelance. It's been said that Canik mags have the same lower angle as the Beretta mags, so the fit is more natural. You can see the CZ75 pads tilt a little, which is probably why some have issues fitting the gauge with Beretta tubes. I have also heard that the CZ75 Grams spring and follower kit can add a round. So, on a 140mm people are getting 23+1. The Grams follower needs to be trimmed to avoid the magazine catch, which it can bind on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three with Grams follower/spring, two Springer extensions, one Taylor Freelance. All fit the gauge, though the Springer fits with a hair more room. Springer holds 23 easily reloadable. The TF requires you to really want to seat it for it to lock in with 23 rounds in it All work fine in the gun with 23 rounds in them. They started life as Mech Gar 18 round mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1974 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I shoot a Gen 5 glock 19 with glock 17 magazines and arredondo +6 mag extensions for 24 rounds before I need to reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you getting 24 rounds into the mag? If it holds 24, does it fit in the mag gauge? Thanks. Edited May 12, 2022 by Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
