tomjerry1 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 For ALL you Limited 10 shooters out there, I'm looking for suggestions on mags for 40 S&W long that hold 10 rounds. I like the CMC or Wilson in my 45, would like something comparable in 40? Seems like the 10mm mag is the only option, but everything I see is 9 rds? is there a base pad that will allow the additional rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belus Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 40L often runs okay in a 45 mag. Some people are using 47D's for their .40 guns. Have you tried just loading 10 into your 10rd 45 mags? I have Tripp 10R-40SW-RG's but they're for factory length 40. I can take a picture of relative tube lengths between Tripp 45 cobra mags, Tripp 10 round 40 mags, and Wilson 10rd 45 mags, if you wish.

Postal Bob Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have the Tripp mags, and they work with 40L rounds. My loads are 1.185" and have no problems. The problem is that 10 rounds in it are very tight, and not easy to insert a full mag with the slide closed. And there are no basepads that are deeper that would still fit the box.

tomjerry1 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 What I have is Tripp 10R-40SW-RG, they started life a 40SW, and had a spacer for the shorter 40. I have removed the spacers, and the crimps to hold the spacers in( there were no 10mm available). I contacted Tripp, and got some new followers and springs, just got my pistol back from the smith, went to try it out today, gun runs great, mags not so much. The top two rounds will go straight into the ramp, after that, they seem to run fine. I tried the fixes that I used on my 45ACP, no luck, increased the angle of the follower and opened up he feed lips towards the front of the mag to try and get the top rounds to stand up more, to no avail. My rounds are 1.78 to 1.84" long, work well in my limited pistol. Hollow point and flat round nose. I have tried CMC 45 ACP mags with spotty success, haven't tried forming them tho, are for the 45. I will give them another try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had better guidance for you. Is your limited gun also picky? I just ordered a new to me limited gun and my fingers are crossed that it runs with factory length ammo so I don't need to adjust my dies and keep track of reloads.

tomjerry1 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 No, my limited gun runs anything, for me, it's just these single stacks that need some TLC. You'll be fine. I have two 38SC guns that didn't take near the work to get then to run, double stack tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'm a minority, but my sstk mags always always ran. I ran 47Ds from the start. Other than occasional L10, though, never pushed for 10 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had no trouble with 8 rounds of .40 in the the 47FX, but I haven't pursued 10 rounds of 40L like tomjerry1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Well I shoot Limited 10, sooo, I try to get there. I have no problem with the CMC mags in my 45. I've wanted a 40 for a while and finally pulled the trigger, I could use a smaller capacity mag, but that kind if defeats Limited 10. I'll get there, just need to find the right mag and base combo. It is amazing that none of the mag or pistol manufactures have made one, 10mm is pretty popular, more bullets is always better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjerry1 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Don't let the picture of the revolver fool you, I routinely shoot open, it is fun. I got talked into the revolver, just got it shooting right and used it in a couple of club matches. I can see the hook, but don't know if I'll bite, or just nibble.

JayDee Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Tripp 10R-10mm-RG mags run 10mm, factory 40 and everything in between. I use the flex follower, have not tried the hybrid follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRPOperator Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Just like several above the Tripp mags run great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konkapot Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 @belus47Ds in .40. Always ran with short or long ammo. Vaguely remember needing to do 9+1 for something (IDPA?) and worked great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you hear you had a positive experience with .40 in 47Ds. They're cheap and readily available and it's good for people to know the option.

tomjerry1 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm going to see if I can find a 47D mag locally and give it a try, as earlier, the CMC 45 mags are no consistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
